call growing lines mean people types
Growing up in D.C. there are so many different types of educational and professional levels. They call D.C. 'Chocolate City' but just because we're all chocolate doesn't mean we're all the same. In D.C., everyone co-exists harmoniously but the lines are still drawn. And people don't really step over those lines.
hard movies seen stay trouble work
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 just stay out of trouble and do the right things.
buddies career committed fun proud time work
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 feel like where I was in my career at the time, I committed to the character.
behind breathe car front guys scenes work
'Fast & Furious' is a well-oiled machine. Those guys really know what they're doing. The guys that work behind the scenes are just as important as the ones in front of the cameras. They are car enthusiasts. They live and breathe this world.
character thinking long
I think the biggest lesson that I take from 'Avatar' on any set that I go to is just work ethic. Working with Jim Cameron, you're used to working very, very long days and you're very meticulous about details. He's very, very picky about little details, little character-isms and things.
stars war character
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 people know what you mean around the world.
growing-up educational mean
Growing up in D.C. there are so many different types of educational and professional levels. They call D.C. 'Chocolate City' but just because we're all chocolate doesn't mean we're all the same. In D.C., everyone co-exists harmoniously but the lines are still drawn. And people don't really step over those lines.
character play littles
There is a little bit of me infused in every character I play.
blessed proud film
I've been very blessed to work in some films that I'm very proud of.
sexy thinking flattered
I'm flattered that women think that I'm sexy.
believe heart generations
I believe in my heart that 'Avatar' is going to be the revolutionary sci-fi movie for this generation, in this era.
one-day want next
Eventually one day I want to direct, but as of right now my next cap that I'm looking for is the producer cap.
artist work-out style
I'm a martial artist. I've boxed all my life. I work out. I studied Hwarangdo, which is a Korean style.
blessing appreciate people
Being able to travel and see the world really makes me appreciate the blessings in my life. There are so many people that will never get a chance to see some of the things that I've seen during my travels. I'll never take that for granted.
