Personal Quote:

[on working with director Rob Cohen on 'Alex Cross'] Rob loves to shoot action and that's the stuff I don't do. But you never know when you're going to need it, so I was happy we got along, because I was looking over his shoulder a lot. See more »

Trivia:

Was reportedly offered several studio scripts to direct before deciding to continue his independent film career with Nice Guy Johnny. See more »
