I've been a huge fan of the 'Jurassic Park' movies. It was one of the reasons why I wanted to be an actor.
When Marvel got the rights to Namor, I thought I'd be the perfect fit.
I've always been a fan of Korean cinema but never really pursued it, as I wanted to pave my way here in the States. I figured, once I established myself here, Korea might take notice. And it did.
I love being part of these giant, epic movies. I take great pride in being part of them.
I watched all these movies like 'King Kong' and 'Godzilla' when I was growing up, and the fact that dinosaurs actually lived on this earth, the fact that they are not fake, made them very fascinating.
The ability to stretch my range into all genres and characters is something I take great pleasure in doing. I thoroughly enjoy it. I consider myself a character actor, though some think of me as a leading man. As an actor, I love shifting gears from character to character, and the more range I can expand, the better.
