I honestly dont know whether I can ever top the experience of Pacific Rim.

The headmistress was a very well-respected theater teacher. She taught me what stage left and stage right were, what a director was, and what all these things meant, which was something I had no concept of. She sent me off to drama school, at age 18, and I stayed there for three years. Before I knew it, I was working on a TV show.

I'm a creature who bores, easily. I could never do one job, for the rest of my life.

I've played a super soldier, a doctor, a World War II fighter pilot, a professional footballer, and a meth-dealing junkie. All those things allow you to educate yourself about different worlds that you have to get familiar with.

The constant education is what keeps me interested. That's what absolutely fascinates me about this job. This week, I'm playing a faerie. Last year, I played a soldier. What am I going to be playing in six months? It's amazing! It's a wonderful job.

I've never had a day at work where I wasn't thrilled and grateful to be there, wherever that might be.

While there are things with this job that remain constant, in terms of how you shoot, the actual crux of the character is always different and always evolving.
