I'd managed to bite a very large hole in the side of my tongue before they could pry my teeth apart. By all evidence, and there's no denying it, that thing I had on the set was a fit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Losing my teeth didn't impede my acting, but it was a constant worry and meant I was never completely relaxed.
I had my two front teeth knocked out by a sixth grader in first grade.
I got a couple of front teeth knocked out during a football match when I was hit by a flying elbow.
I've spent my life doing action films and most of my own stunts, so my teeth have been knocked out along the way. It happened so frequently that I can't even remember where I lost most of them.

My mouth was too large, my eyes turned out, and my legs mere toothpicks.
