To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.

The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.

I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do.

Working in South Africa and the people in Johannesburg get under your skin. It stays with you. It's a place I want to take my children back to. It's a place that filled me with great joy and inspiration but also sadness. I think it's one of the most complex places on the planet.

I'm really interested in having a studio one day and being a filmmaker.

My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.

I will no longer be an actor to hire, I have a passion for producing and making films.
