The power of Hollywood, as we know, is that it can create these images in people's minds, and they live with those images for their whole life.
I don't know if many people realize that Dolph Lundgren is a chemical engineer. He's not a dumb blond guy. This guy is smart and he's a martial artist.
Looking back at my career, if there's one word that most people use to describe me, it's intense.
People say, "How come you play bad guys so much?" And I say, "Well, have you seen many Asian good-guy roles?"
There are a lot of wannabe men in Hollywood. But when you have that Hollywood mentality, there aren't a lot of real, grounded people.
I've been in a lot of cult movies, but I've been very fortunate to have been involved in projects that people remember.
I have to humbly say people really like the bad guys.
