I mean there's something magical about filmmaking and people that work within film. It's the most beautiful thing, because so many people are coming together and they just think about a common goal.

It's not always the case, but the films that I've worked on it's been that way, and it's amazing. It makes you want to work harder...

I was thinking about that, about what lines you'd be willing to cross if someone took your loved one or child.

They shaved my head, eyebrows. This is not a sci-fi picture. It's not a fantasy picture. You're dealing with something that's supposed to be in reality. But we had a genius makeup artist.

Rick Yune

I believe our country has to do whatever we can do to protect ourselves-we're king of the hill. We need to protect democracy and the lives of those who live in the free world.
