I think that's what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.

I just finished Narc, which was a really heavy duty, raw, independent.

I think, at the end of the day, filmmaking is a team, but eventually there's got to be a captain.

The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork, and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place.

I would have to say that working on 'Warrior' felt more like working on a play than any other film I've ever done.

Making a film - particularly what I think is a good film - is the result of a team of people, and the end result has many, many hands on it.

I think it reaffirmed something that I believed in and conceptually always had faith in which was that you're most effective when you work as a team. I love that about filmmaking. I stopped playing team sports at 15-16 because of acting. I think I find a kind of new team sport in filmmaking in a way.

A good team, like a good show, comes into being when the separate individuals working together create, in essence, another separate higher entity - the team - the show - which is better than any of those individuals can ever be on their own.

I see similarities in the sports I played growing up in the sense of how I tackle a role when I get a job. A lot of effort goes in on an individual basis. There is a lot of time spent by yourself working on your craft and what you have to do. But, at the end of the day, you're there to serve the movie just like you would the rugby team.

The first script I got was Narc and I really responded to it; it reminded me of a '70s type movie, I really liked the characters, I didn't anticipate the ending.
