Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.
I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.
It's tricky when I'm constantly traveling and adjusting to new time zones and trying to also keep up with my workouts.
When I was growing up, it was Clint Eastwood, it was Harrison Ford and Steve McQueen - these guys were tough. They were leading men, but they were also tough and physical.
I mean, I feel like I've been pretending I was a werewolf since I was a little kid.
I wouldn't tell anyone to study werewolves - I studied wolves, how they moved, their tendencies and sensibilities.
When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it.
I think you can be athletic and intellectual at the same time.
