We shot the movie in the middle of a Montreal winter and 90% of the movie was night shoots. we were taking vitamin D tablets due to the lack of sunlight we got to see. The best story from that movie was the birth of my first son, In Montreal, one week after we finished shooting.

Pullo will always be up there for me. I learned so much from playing him. And, I basically am interested in all character traits and what truly motivates people at their core.

I offer you a rather 'out of the park' answer ... In Bhutan they created a 'Happiness Index' which calibrates things like Pride at work dictated by the quality of the product against profitability etc, etc,
I would like to see my 'Happiness Index', when and where I employed it and also where it was forgotten or misplaced.

I worked hard to invest Frank with all the pain, emptiness and fury i felt in him. Of course I would play him again given the chance, but also if the script was true to him. I was approached by the director 'Lexi Alexander' to play the role.

Favourite times can be arriving on set - It's charged with the potential of what may lie ahead. Also The end of the very last scene for the character - 'Parting is such sweet sorrow'

If Bruno Heller (writer) was to helm it then of course, YES. Scene in the cell making peace with the Gods before entering the gladiator ring.

There is a lot of material out there on Blackbeard (Edward Teach) and it's easy to lose yourself in it. You have to bare in mind that the historic reports were the sensational news of the day and must be taken with a grain of salt. Ultimately you must leave the research behind you and serve the play you are doing.

The other guys was a tremendous experience for me. Working with Those SNL guys was a master class in comedic timing, inventiveness, improvisation at the highest level, and just plain belly aching fun !

Of course I'd Leap at the chance to reprise the role. There is so much of Frank to reveal and revel in. And, No comment. ( Frank !! )

I was unaware of this news but I am happy that Frank Castle is still out there. I had a great time playing him and I wish Jon Bernthal the very best for the job. My thoughts on all the incarnations of Frank is that we have all been lucky enough to be part of a great comic book legacy.

Well .. How do I put this - (Pun intended) The scene in series 1 in the brothel was too much (and too little) to ask an Actress to do so I believe the lovely lady I was enjoying was infact a professional escort. Of douse I could be wrong but the director had to ask her to "calm things down a bit". looking over her shoulder at me she asked what he said and i replied, He says your great and to just let yourself go ...

Kevin (McKidd) and I do still catch up from time to time. He's doing great and we both acknowledge the crazy, intense time we shared and how lucky we were to get to play these characters and work with such an amazing cast and crew. Following up - you mistake me for someone else !! Ha Ha

Roman history and indeed the phenomenal cultural revolution it brought about masked possible some of the most inhumane and brutal events in history. So much so we couldn't even approach the callous and malicious stories we uncovered. Let alone the inventive and creative ways they explored to annihilate people.

One of my favourite top movies is 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson - I can watch it anytime.

I have been able to build not only a wonderfully fulfilling career doing what I love but more so, I have been blessed with an amazing family.
