I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.
No actor does all his own stunts, no matter what he says.
I'm a really athletic person - I'm not that coordinated, but I'm really athletic, so I would play a superhero doing my own stunts in a heartbeat. But hopefully not taking swings at people. That's not a good idea for me.
I feel whatever an actor does on screen is something the actor 'does,' and what the director can do is to tell, talk or instruct. So, all the credit for an actor's performance goes to the actor alone.
I don't do stunts and I don't think many actors do. For an actor to say they do their own stunts I don't think is very respectful of the profession of stunt men and women.
But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
I'm always doing something new. I took a fencing class - that was awesome. And I do a lot of my own athletic work or stunts.
I'm kind of hard to double, but I did have one guy for a while as my double. I kind of like to do my own stunts, though, because it's just the overall experience. Sometimes you have to step aside when the stuff gets really dangerous, but I feel like sometimes you have to do your own stunts to make the role seem real.
I am dying to do an action movie. I can do my own stunts; I can do this.
I remember seeing 'Aladdin' when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, 'Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.' Mum said I couldn't be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, 'OK, then, I want to be an actor.'

My favorite actor is Steve McQueen, and he did his own stunts.
I observed how a man does action sequences and then adapted it for myself. As a woman, the way I perform the stunts will be different from the way a man does it.
I would love to do my own stunts, but stunts are not something I have a lot of experience with.
I like being able to do all of my own stunts. I appreciate stunt guys and what they do and, of course, the time and the effort that they put in, but for me, I'm young. You only live once, so to be able to do all your own stunts, train, become a real fighter... I feel like I can hold my own.
It does not mean that in the process of a small screen, I do small acting, or if I do a big screen project, I do big acting. For the actor, it does not matter.
Being a naive 20-something I didn't think that I could just go to the screen cartoonist's union, that I was a member of, and scream bloody murder and they would have jumped all over this guy and said, "Oh, but yes he does get screen credit."
