I suppose you just feel on an instinctive level if something is honest.
Ray Stevenson
Image
Blackbeard was larger than life. He was 6'4 in 1710. He was a colossus, and like a rock star walking into a bar. He was a tremendous commander, a great leader.

The way Shakespeare wrote Fallstaff is with a heightened language and everything.

The pamphlets going back to London telling of the violent derring-dos of the Bahamian pirates were the ones that brought infamy to the names of Charles Vane and Blackbeard. How much of that is really documented history? It carries a flavor with it, but take all this with a pinch of salt.

I'm Volstag and what you see is what you get. He's a bon vivant lover of life epicurean goodfellow. He's a god, which helps. He's full of life. He reminds me very much of Falstaff. There's a wonderful innocence to him and the steadfast loyalty of a big Saint Bernard dog.

The weird thing is, in America, people were saying, You're not going to get recognized because all you're going to see is basically your forehead and eyes.
Ray Stevenson
Image
When many different voices send you in different directions, you can't listen to your own.
Ray Stevenson
Image
I wouldn't ever presume to say that I am a comic book fan.
Ray Stevenson
Image
Well, I'm not a natural gym person myself, anyway.
Ray Stevenson
Image
As an actor, I relish and delight in doing things that I'm not necessarily the demographic for. This is a demographic that is touching the psyche of a certain age group, facing the real internal questions of people who are going through rites of passage into adulthood. It's earth-shaking stuff.

Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.

I don't give a damn if you like Blackbeard. I don't care if you think he is an absolute despot. Do you believe me? If you do, I've done my work.
