I did an action series back in '97, and did very intense training; weapons, knives, hand-to-hand combat. The more an actor trains in that way, the more we can do on screen and the better it looks.

Nowadays I get complaints about long drum solos, but in those days they wanted me to keep on going so they could go over to the bar and have a drink. ↗

People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays. ↗
