I think that leading man status opens up a number of doors for you and allows you the opportunity to do a number of different kinds of roles, so I don’t see myself leaving behind character work just because I can headline movies. But it’s certainly more interesting to be where I’m at in my life now, to be a more integral part of the process of creating a film and taking less of a backseat and more of a front seat driver opportunity is interesting to me now.

“I try to work with people who are better than me. I for a long time considered myself a journeyman actor where I was learning my skills and honing my craft and waiting for the opportunity for something like this (The Punisher (2004)) to come along. I’m not good at vocalizing what my exact approach is, but I believe in using whatever works and making a sort of amalgamation of a number of different styles or methods to get the job done. I think that’s what a lot of film acting is about. It’s sort of a mongrel like approach these days. We use a number of different theories or beliefs to get you where you need to go. It’s a personal experience. I don’t believe in one particular system or method or another.” – On his approach to acting.
