I've never done an action show, really. On 'Jericho,' other people got to ride horses and shoot guns, but I never did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I haven't done a lot of action movies, so it's kind of fun to get to do a lot of stunt work.
I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing.
I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.
I've done all sorts of different kinds of action. We did a thing in 'Blood Diamond,' the attack on Freetown, where I carefully staged the action but did not show the camera operators what we were going to film - so it has the feel of documentary, trying to capture something, and that gave it a whole different feel.
Because I do so many action-oriented films, I started working with stunt people doing fight training, then I found it to be just great exercise. Also I like to be fit, so I've continued on with fight training. Right before I got to do 'Conan,' I was fighting off four guys. Its great fun. And strange.
I grew up with action movies in my head.
If I wasn't acting, all I'd do is ride my bike. I've always loved doing that.
I've never worked for a show or was on a show where I didn't have a lot of control creatively, but then again, I haven't worked on a lot of shows.
My show was revolutionary, ground-breaking. When I came on the scene, people were not doing a thing.
