This film is what it is. It's a campy thriller horror movie where you go and have fun. With these types of films, you can't take it too seriously. They are what they are.
I think that we have to hit the mark, and once we hit that, a trend develops in order for a lot of those types of films to be made.
I don't have to be in charge of every single angle, every single word, should he wear the blue shirt or the red shirt, or the light red shirt?
California is like the Mecca of the film industry. Everyone's seen California.
I've had some physically challenging roles.
I'm just happy to be working consistently.
I didn't pursue acting to become famous. I was actually just trying to make a living.
Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.
I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you're trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.
Producing is easier, I can just be at the set overseeing the story.
I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.
