I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.
I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.
A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures and things like that.
I was a very interested arts student I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies to me it's all art.
I mean movies in general tend to sort of portray time space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you and you're always you.
I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
When we shoot 24 there are so many things I have to worry about from the script to technical things to my performance that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season which is like making 12 movies.
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and when they do that you sometimes flatten out.
Well I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.
There are some movies that I would like to forget for the rest of my life - really! But even those movies that I'd like to forget teach me things.
