I play characters who are comfortable naked, but that's something you work up to. I did a play off-Broadway in New York when I was in college. It was full-frontal nudity. It's nerve-racking.

American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.

I went to a school that's predominantly computer science and engineering. So, there's a real shortage of hot girls, let's say.

David Ayer was put on my map, at that point, and I always kept note and clocked his career. When he started directing, I saw Harsh Times, I saw Street Kings and I saw End of Watch. I gave my agents a list of directors that I wanted to work with, and at the top of that list was David. I wanted to have that experience.

I grew up a big comic book reader, as a kid, and I love the whole fanboy crowd.

I train like a pro-athlete, not like an actor who's just trying to look pretty.

I'm an average guy. I wasn't the dude who was gonna sit at the stage and dump all my paycheck into the girl.
