For me, I have to love it and feel something for it because you`re going to be stuck with it for two years, and if you don`t love it it`s going to look like that on screen.
First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn`t a cartoon series there isn`t any cartoon series. I mean there`s no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.
Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.
And like everybody else, I like the Rocky movies, but if you look at them again you can see all the misses, but the intensity of it, but that wasn`t what this is.
