I always liked 'Green Lantern,' but I wasn't necessarily a diehard fan. I read stories here and there when I came across them.

Playing a superhero was an acting challenge for me. It was fun.

It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star.

I want to play the Green Lantern. I'd love to do a comic book hero. Go to the gym, get all buff, puff up. That would be a lot of fun.

As a kid, when most of my friends were into Superman and Batman, there was only one superhero who held my interest - The Green Hornet.

A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'

It's much easier to make a Superman or Batman film than a Green Lantern film.

I knew Jimmy Dean. He tested for 'Battle Cry'. Paul Newman tested for 'Battle Cry'. I did nine tests to finally get that role.

Working on 'X Men,' I got to do a lot of flying and fighting, which was good fun.

I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.
