When I Got Cast In

I Think The Energy I Give Off Is Quite Non-confrontational. That's Something You Learn From Karate. Once You Try To Be A Tough Guy, You've Got To Pay Up. You've Got To Prove Yourself. And That's Exhausting.

You Really Have To Work Hard To Create A Three-dimensional Character. You Have To Rehearse And Explore And Take Your Time. You Can't Just Memorize Your Lines And Do It On The Fly.

You Can't Give Someone Five Hundred Punches In A Film Anymore. You Beat On Them, And They Continue To Stand There Staring At You. That Doesn't Work. People Just Don't Buy That Anymore.

When I Was A Kid, I Was Like Everyone Else: Afraid Of Getting Nuked. We Had Drills In School - Sweden Was Very Close To The Soviet Union. There Was Definitely A Lot Of Tension.

When I Started Studying Acting In New York, I Didn't Plan To Be An Action Hero. I Just Wanted To Learn Acting Because I Felt It Was Something I Needed To Try To Do For Myself, To Express Something, My Inner Pain, Or Something I Couldn't Get Out.
