I worked with a mime coach. I did weapons training. I did weight training. |
I'd like to do something a little different. Something a little less intense. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet. For the first time in my life, it's great to have choices, but I think I have to be very careful in choosing the right next project. |
I'd like to go to Brazil I think. Do a little South America trip. |
I'm an equestrian, so I like to ride. Ride horses, I love to hike with my dog, love to travel. Most recently I went to Costa Rica, which I loved. |
I'm just at this point really just trying to finish up and do a great job and hold it together and just take it as it comes. |
I'm ready to go back to work. |
I'm tall, I have a deeper voice, and when I was younger, I looked older, so people didn't really know how to cast me. |
In the whole period of making the film, I carried myself more aggressively and was much more assertive than I normally would be. It took me a while to decompress after the film ended, to step back and say I didn't need to be this strong and have this kind of mentality any more. |
It's hard to find a guy who's at least my height or taller. I've been with smaller guys, and when they curl up to me at the end of the day, it feels kind of weird. |
People were actually approaching me on the street and thinking that I was an athlete. They couldn't quite place it, but a runner, or swimmer or something. |
Playing a robot is possibly the most difficult role you can have as an actor, because you have to take all your innate emotional responses and completely suppress them. Even the way you walk is affected. |
There was a period of time where I tried to cut my hair and dye it and change my appearance, but I realize that in the end, you look better in a specific way and people are always going to pass judgement on you, so it's really up to them to see you in the light that you want to be seen. |
There's a lot of muscles in your eyes even that you don't ever work, but little human traits like showing signs of exertion while running, you couldn't do that. Blinking when you're shooting a gun, you know. Things that you take for granted every day that had to be eliminated, so it was always interesting. |
They don't teach you that in acting class. There, you do all this in-depth analysis of the character based on feelings and internal conflict. And here, you climb into costume and they say, 'Look at the blue X,' and you're done. |
Your body has such a memory. |
