Having Bodyguards Is Just Part Of Being

I Wanted To Become An Engineer, Or Get A Masters In Business. But I Had The Opportunity To Do Films When I Was About 25 And It Was A Great Way To Express Myself.

Working With Jean-claude Is A Lot Of Fun. Because He's A Great Actor Who Also Happens To Be A Fighter. That Combination Doesn't Usually Come Together Anymore. Usually, You Have To Fight The Stunt Double And Then Act Against The Actor. In His Case, You Are Fighting With A Real Guy. It Takes A Minute To Get Used To That. Because It Doesn't Happen Any More.

I Used To Be A Chemical-engineering Student, But I Started Studying Acting, And I Went For A Cattle Call, Up Against Hundreds Of People. They Tore Me Down Because I Was Too Tall. They Said "how Tall Are You?" "6'5"." "next."

When You're Directing You're Kind Of Interested In The Movie And The Story And The Characters. I Just Sort Of Prefer The Really Tough Fighting And Some Of The Other Street Fighting Type Moves. You Know, Where It's Not Just Show. It's Not Dressing It Up For The Cameras Too Much. It's Pretty Down And Dirty, The Way It Should Be. That's Something I Like To Do. I Do That.

I've Actually Always Been Into Suits. But I Never Really Wore Them, I Guess Because I Was Too Young And It Didn't Feel Right.
