The original plan was that James Wan would direct the pilot [of MacGyver ] but it didn't work out, and then it did, which is great. I'm a huge fan.

I don't want to be a part of something I don't want to watch.

This MacGyver is a twentysomething agent who, rather than operating on his own, is part of a team engaged in high-risk missions that take them around the world. Other cast members include George Eads as Jack Dalton, Tristin Mays as Riley Davis, Justin Hires [late of the TV version of Rush Hour] as Wilt Bozer and Sandrine Holt as Patricia Thornton.

Money is cool, but being proud of yourself is something that's so rare.

All the hard work means something. That's all you can really ask for, as an actor.

Arent people supposed to do movies so that they can get girls?

I always love to do my own stunts when they let me, right?
