Nothing beats a great smile.
Sometimes it's nice to know that what you've done has been appreciated.
I love fishing and surfing, and I work out every day.
I just really hope that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema can resolve all their differences. I'm hoping that's going to happen, but we'd have to wait and see. I would love to explore Middle Earth again with Peter.
A lot of the ancient Norse myths and legends are the basis of a lot of the sci-fi, fantasy films out there. Telling these stories in a contemporary medium, it's all good.
I've always wanted to do a Western.
I never envisioned when I was reading that comic as a 17-year-old that I would have the opportunity to actually play the character.
Now I'm this far up the ladder and I've got so much farther to go with what I want to achieve with it.
