Hollywood is throwing action movies at me.
Stunts have to be meticulously arranged. Choreographed. You could take a fight scene and set it to music.
I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.
'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.
I think there's certain things that I know in my head that I enjoy: action movies.
When I did 'Good Guys Wear Black,' I had a lot of dialogue in that movie.
The fight scenes in 'The World's End' have a certain balletic quality to them.
As for action movies, I did Tarzan, and I'm also about to shoot Meltdown, which John Carpenter wrote.
I've gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It's a different kind of kicking, though.
Some of the martial arts films, the motivation is about martial arts. That's where it's coming from. It is a visual, commercial film, to showcase the next stunt, the biggest thing. And character development becomes a side thing.
Shooting a fight is like shooting any other scene. You have to tell a story using a very specific choreography.
I love my martial arts and action movies. They give another dimension to the acting world: the emotional plus the physical.
I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.
I thought there would be more time in my trailer to write during 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' but I seem to be always flying in a harness and conquering supervillains instead.
I went for a more classical approach to filmmaking with lots of dolly, track and cranes, and slightly slower, more choreographed fight moves, so you get more fight moves in one take.
I consider myself a martial artist and an actor. They can work together or individually. I love to do action. I love having a good role in which I can act and fight. That's double happiness.
I am not in a position to play in action films bashing hundreds of goons with one hand. I feel I am not really fit for high-voltage action films.
I've never played a character where I've had so much fun on the physical end. I don't want to say I like it too much but it's fun having a gun on you and getting to manhandle men.
'Raging Bull' was just a dream to work on, but it took a lot of work to get all those fights to work right and incorporate them properly into the story.
I've always wanted to do action stuff. I like it. You really want something that's special; that's got something special about it and not cheesy, I guess. I'll tell you something, it's fun, it's different. Comedy is difficult. Doing comedy is very difficult. Action stuff is fun.
I enjoy fighting scenes. I like fighting in film. I like pretending to fight in films.
I can't remember ever being involved in a fight in a movie where I haven't done most of it.
I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
