I was an 80's/90's baby so you went to the movie theater every weekend and there was one on, whether it was Stallone, Van Damme, Seagal or Schwarzenegger himself.
I think people when they think of comedic actors they forget that they are people with a point of view and experiences and depth.
I auditioned for a Pepsi commercial, and I got it, and that was incredibly fun. So I thought, Well, maybe I should try this acting thing .
I've never been sent a lock of hair or anything like that, but I've gotten underwear with my face on it. That was weird.
If I can still be successful making films and no-one will ever know me, then that would be great. Because we (actors) just like to do what we do. People who are doing it for fame, I don't know if they ever get really successful.
There are so many dramatic actors where I would give all of my anything to have their careers, but I don't think I can try to follow anyone.
Any teen gets into a little trouble here and there. It's not hard to find trouble when you're looking for it as a kid.
I have a theory that as nice and sweet as you can be equates to how dangerous you can be.
I think some of the scariest people I've met in my life have been some of the sweetest.
I really like doing action. It's one of those things where I negotiate the world physically, I think, more than mentally. I enjoy running and jumping.
All of my films I've made have had an element of physicality and action but I really enjoy the drama of it because it's where I feel I'm really doing something.
I wanted to be able to tell my grandkids one day, "Hey, your grandpa ran into a burning building and survived."
I've cried a hundred times at The Notebook. My wife cries and that makes me cry, and she makes me promise we're going to die in bed together. I'm like: "That's weird, I don't want to talk about that."
Audiences and critics they don't like seeing what happens in real life. Why do you think comedies make all the money at the box office? People want to go and laugh. I can understand that.
