"Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death."
Death
"I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version."

Blood
"I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film."
Movies
"My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier."
Life
"I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and to see how he goes about business, which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career."

Drama
