Some people that are heroes to some can be looked at by another group of people as villains. As far as a middle point, just speaking for myself, that's exactly what to avoid.

I played baseball in college, and then I went to Russia to study acting and played some pro ball over there.

You've never seen anything in the Marvel universe that's as grounded, as gritty, as authentic, and as raw as what these guys did last year [in Season 1 of Daredevil]. What an amazing place to bring this character into, to attempt to up the stakes and to make it more dangerous. Hopefully, we were able to do that. But as far as those movies, my concern is this show.

I played sports in high school and in college.

I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you're going to get that next script and you're done.

I come from athletics and I have a pretty big boxing background, so I never really shy away or get nervous about the physical rigors of filmmaking.

I wanted to be kicked and hit and bruised up and beaten. It became something that was an absolutely necessary part of every day for me.
