Shooting a fight is like shooting any other scene. You have to tell a story using a very specific choreography.
I enjoy fighting scenes. I like fighting in film. I like pretending to fight in films.
I got an M.F.A. in acting from NYU, and part of our training is to learn how to use swords in combat situations in a performance and Shakespeare plays where you have to fight.
Doing fight scenes in movies is a lot different than in WWE, but it was still relatively easy.
I love action. I love stage combat.
At drama school, I got a job choreographing and teaching the fights for Mark Rylance doing 'Hamlet' at the Globe in London when I was only 19. They made me fight captain.
Everyone who shoots dance sequences does it in a different way. Everyone who shoots fight sequences does it in a different way.
I have stage combat training from college, which is drastically different than fighting for the screen, but I do enjoy that kind of stuff.
Nobody's ever going to hire me to choreograph fights.
