As a fighter, you have a weight cut, and if there's a weigh-in scene you want to look way smaller and depleted. You want there to be a noticeable difference between that and the fight day.

If you're not intimidated or maybe a little weary of taking on a role, then it may not be challenging enough and it may not be worth doing.

I feel as though I've been very fortunate in my career, which is not all that long, so far.

That's where everything starts, as an actor: you've gotta have great writing and great character development, and then you have really great materials to work from.
