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.
Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that`s the way they`re done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.
I`m trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it`s been difficult finding the right roles. It`s been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.
Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece.
