I haven't had a chance really to do a martial arts role, but I really want to. I want to act like Jackie Chan in a movie.

I'm looked upon as a theater actor who happened to know martial arts before I got into the movies.

I wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.

I would like to be in a superhero movie where I do martial arts.

I took karate classes for a few years. Taekwondo. I'd love to do a movie role where I could do some karate.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong.

A lot of people don't realize, when you are acting in a martial arts film, you're not just performing martial arts. You're not just performing martial arts. You're actually acting as much as any other actor.

I never was able to do karate. That's calling me a good actor. I act like I can do anything.

I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
