Can I just say, I want to say as somebody who like, this is what we do all the time.
I can tell every time I listen that people are, they don't want to get off with you.
They're like, they love these interviews.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You said it perfectly. Shadow Force is like this big, splashy action adventure where I play this badass mercenary. But at its core, it's really a story about love. It's about parents, these estranged lovers, played by myself and Omar Sy, and we have this son. And we are willing to go to the ends of the earth to protect this son.

So I wrote this memoir about my family, about my mother, father, and me. I'm an only child. And kind of the dynamics that unfolded when we got to step into our truth. And my mom said something really beautiful when we were presenting the memoir to the world. She said, it's like we're not afraid to hurt each other anymore because there's a new strength in our family.

And I felt like in making Shadow Force, I got to bring that new strength, that new fearlessness into a character. I got to really embody power and fearlessness in a way that I never had before. And I've played really strong characters throughout my career, but... This was a new level of embodiment.
