General
In April 2011, he appeared in a military movie and described the difference from wrestling to acting. "You can't learn it. I can't imagine how professional actors deal with it - especially when their filming lasts for three months. Often, I had to go to bed at three o'clock in the night and start up again at six in the morning. However, the best actor in the world would not be able to spend 10 days of my training schedule."
