Fear is just not a part of my life - so much so that if it's involved in somebody else's life and they're close to me, I won't be around them.

I want to be a good human being.

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life.

There is definitely a sense of pride to it - it's more precious when you cook something up from the beginning and you see it all the way to the end, and you get a little bit more of a say.

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly.

I don't really think there's much difference between a character actor and a leading man besides aesthetics.
