But I loved doing the physical stuff for 'Dredd.' I have to give a shout-out to the stunt team that I worked with.
I would love to do my own stunts, but stunts are not something I have a lot of experience with.
I always wanted to be a stuntman. If acting went well and I was able to take a year out, I might train and get on the stunt register, which gives you qualifications so you can do more of your own stunts.
I love getting to work with the stunt coordinator. It's like choreography, like a dance.
I was the highest-paid stuntman in the world.
The stunt team were great on 'Defiance.' They were there, every day.
So there was always a stunt coordinator on those films that was from Stunts Unlimited and I was just one of the young warriors from Stunts Unlimited that got to be a part of it because it was a big show and they needed a lot of guys.
I'm actually doing more stunts for 'Maze Runner' than I did for 'Insurgent.'
There are three versions of the hook. There's one that's solid metal and it's really heavy. It's sharp. It's not super sharp but it has a point, and because of the weight you could do some serious damage with it. And then there's an aluminium one which is a bit lighter, and then there's a rubber one for if you're to do stunts or there's any danger of cutting someone. Although sometimes I like to switch it out! It's the perfect coffee cup holder - it's literally the exact size. And if you've only got one hand and you're holding some food, it's great to put it on.
If you really get into a particular character, you also want to do your own stunts.
I really enjoy doing stunts, especially. I had never done any stunt work, ever, in my life before, and in our first episode of 'Legacies,' I was doing a bunch.
I don't do stunts and I don't think many actors do. For an actor to say they do their own stunts I don't think is very respectful of the profession of stunt men and women.
In the stunt world, fights and vehicles are often two different disciplines.
I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.
I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.
