Getting to play superheroes is a pretty good job.

Above and beyond having the social life, to have a core group of people that you work with and spend time with and learn how to work with is a nice thing.

You get bored if you do the same thing too much.

I think it's more fun to play a hero with an edge.

Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Ursula Le Guin's stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.

I think it is important that you care about the characters, and you are not just waiting for the next action sequence but have a vested interested in what happens to them.

The real excitement and big deal for me started when I got cast in the first X-Men, which was sort of a fluke.
