I've got kids, goats. My wife always wanted a donkey, so I bought her one.
My son loves swords and shields and dragons.
Zack Snyder is a huge fan of 'Game of Thrones,' and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.
I haven't been an actor who's been able to pick and choose roles, and being a family man, it's been about putting food on the table.
I was an outcast. I was from a town of wrestlers and football players.
I'm one of those freaky people that actually reads books.
I'm sure all actors have trouble. The guy who always plays the funny guy, he wants to be taken seriously. And there's the action guy who wants to do serious stuff. Everyone's grass is greener.
My kids are always like, 'Why do people always want to take pictures with you?' and I'm like, 'Because I'm your Dada, and you're my daughter. That's why.' It's definitely mostly because of 'Game of Thrones.'
'Game of Thrones' is the greatest thing I've ever been a part of.
You get a lot of respect for 'Game of Thrones,' and it was a lot of fun to play, but it didn't help my career a lot because Khal Drago doesn't even speak English.
After 'Game of Thrones,' having a character like that, that's like the pinnacle of your career.
There's nothing I've ever worked on that beat 'Game of Thrones' - that's a 10-hour movie; they put a lot of money in it.
My mum raised me on 'On the Waterfront,' 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Rear Window.'
I'm a father, a son, and a grandson, and if anyone messed with my wife, mom, or grandmother, and if the law didn't care about it, what would I do? Would I be defined by that action?
I'm an early riser. I work out really hard. I push myself; I get my job done, and at the end of the day, there's a Guinness waiting for me.
I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.
I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.
I'm not going to normally get hired to play those emotional things, and I'm capable of it. I was raised by a single mother in Iowa - I'm just trapped in a big, dumb body.
In my man cave, I have tomahawks, throwing knives, and old black-bear furs. There's skulls, weapons everywhere.
I just love stories, and I love movies, learning and seeing the world. Growing up in Iowa, it was like, you wanna see the world? Movies can help you do that.
