“Well, I’m Canadian. True, north, strong, and free.”

O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me

I identify with the Clint Eastwoods and Harrison Fords. Those are my heroes.

Westerns are very difficult to predict whether they’ll reach an audience or not.

They were so exhausted and seasick and all they could do was crawl up those beaches. And thousands of them lay dead in no time at all. It’s unthinkable.

I grew up playing everything from rugby, football, baseball, volleyball, bike races and boxing. I tried martial arts, loved to ride horses and I’m the youngest of three brothers, so it was a fiercely competitive family.

I don’t like to play the victim.

It’s nice not to be too boring.

Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard.

Several of the actors I’ve had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as ‘ultimate’. I guess the obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews.
