I never was able to do karate. That's calling me a good actor. I act like I can do anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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'm looked upon as a theater actor who happened to know martial arts before I got into the movies.
I took karate classes for a few years. Taekwondo. I'd love to do a movie role where I could do some karate.
I grew up doing martial arts, and it's one of these things where I always kind of liked acting, but I was never real serious about it.
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 didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.
My karate skills are very limited. I'm a green belt.
Karate's a very boring sport, but when you know the technique you can go further and further.
To be trained in karate is something because karate is a vicious thing. If you are any good at it, you can kill somebody with it. It is a vicious way to fight.
I did karate for years and years and years.
