Kevin Durand

Kevin: (On weight training) Yeah, but 6-foot-6 me at 18, you saw a big head and this stringbean body, these massive hands and these massive feet, just trying to keep it all moving in one direction. And if I got out into the wind, I was in trouble. That's probably part of why I got a little bit obsessive.

Kevin: (On working with famous actors) It's always an honor to get to play with people who have been at it longer than you, who have been honing their skills...I take notes.

Kevin: (Best memory on a film set) In the middle of a scene opposite Russell Crowe in my first movie. I remember the director yelling cut, and feeling like I truly belonged there, looking at the small sea of people standing around the camera grinning like something really cool and special just went down. I knew then that I would be doing film for the rest of my life.

Kevin: (What he likes about acting) I always loved the idea of zoning out and pretending to be someone else. A perfect escape. It started with impressions for my mom and dad and grandparents when I was a kid...lucky me, I get to make my living doing it!

Kevin: (The meaning of his tattoos) Perseverance, following your instinct, chasing your vision quest, not ever giving up on your dreams and remembering where you came from. Strength, happiness, and fighting for something you believe in.
