Birds And Homicide

Some of the best actors known to men have played bad guys and it’s the best because you know, you always wanna play those roles. Growing up I was always more interested in the villains.

“Your own eyes have betrayed you. But I do not speak of my daughter alone. You shall be betrothed to no man’s child as yet. But as for Arwen the Fair, Lady of Imladris and of Lórien, Evenstar of her people, she is of lineage greater than yours, and she has lived in the world already so long that to her you are but as a yearling shoot beside a young birch of many summers.

My best day had to be the day after I wrapped Guardians of the Galaxy. I was very homesick and coming home to my wife, and to my home, and to my son, who was at the time 13 months old. My wife told me “Hey listen, there’s a chance he won’t recognize you, but that’s okay that happens all the time. He doesn’t know — he might be a little shy.” So I came in there, and he just sat right up and he had this big smile on his face. He said ‘Daddy, daddy, daddy!’ I just started to cry, and he looked at me and he saw the tears in my eyes and he just started smiling, and doing bits immediately, to try and make me laugh. He’d jump up and down. And that just made me cry more. And he touched the tears on my face and everything. It was the first real human moment that happened between the two of us. I think he recognized that I was sad and he was essentially forgiving me for being gone so long. That was my best day.
