It’s funny because when I got ‘Jarhead’ and ‘Avatar’ and all those movies, ‘Leprechaun’ still to this day airs on BET. I was thinking, ‘Will they just let it go? I finally have a body...

My buddies all still make fun of me about the whole ‘Leprechaun’ thing, and I’m proud of that movie. I’m just as proud of that work as I am of anything else that I’ve done....

I like speed, so I like taking the jet skis out and hitting the water, or hitting the lake. In the winter, unfortunately, I used to ski a lot but I haven’t been able to...

I love that period, between the ’20s and the ’60s. I love doing period pieces, and those eras are my favorite period in time, music wise, and the elegance and the way of being.

I’m a big fan of ‘Star Wars.’ Some of the most iconic characters of ‘Star Wars,’ we didn’t see their faces but to this day you can say Jabba the Hutt or Darth Vader and...

‘Miracle at St. Anna.’ I was challenged by Spike Lee. When he offered me the film, he looked me square in the eye and said, ‘You start this film off and you end this film....

I believe in my heart that ‘Avatar’ is going to be the revolutionary sci-fi movie for this generation, in this era.

You may have seen me in movies like ‘Fast & Furious’ and ‘Avatar.’ But I wouldn’t have been able to do any of that without hard work and determination. You can accomplish anything if you...

I’ve been very blessed to work in some films that I’m very proud of.

I love HGTV. I love working on my house and have really been bit by the ‘luxury remodeling’ bug. ‘Million Dollar Rooms,’ ‘Million Dollar Listing’… any show that can give me design inspiration, I soak...

There is a little bit of me infused in every character I play.

I want to play roles that I’m proud of, that I feel a certain integrity about, and I want to continue to be truthful in the work that I do.
