Working on a movie like 'Prince of Persia' was awesome. It was great fun to be an action hero and to jump around, running off walls and fighting and having great quippy lines.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Until this movie I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already, and am ready for this phase of my career.
As I began making my feature films, it was a great adventure. It was about constructing something I saw in my head or I had designed on storyboards and capturing that on film.
It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.
With action films, it's great if it's not just driven by action, but by a good story and interesting characters, as well. Though, there's nothin' like kicking butt!
Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through.
I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called 'Blast,' which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I've got the build, the attitude and the look for it.
A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'
Even though I was theatrically trained, learning to develop a character was an awesome experience.
I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
Working on 'X Men,' I got to do a lot of flying and fighting, which was good fun.
