How physically demanding are the stunts the role requires?

It is physically demanding in the sense that you get your butt kicked. [If] there's a scene between me and David where he slams me up against a wall, and there's dialogue while we're doing it, I have to be there. He'll pick me up and he'll slam me into a wall, we'll do the scene and it doesn't really hurt. [Then] we'll do it five, six, seven more times [and] you start to feel [it] a little bit more. It's really the next day that you wake up and you notice the bruises and [that your] back hurts.

When it comes to the guy jumping off a building or something, none of that's me and most of the wide shots of me fighting someone are not me either. If I was to get in there I probably could do I'd say 80 per cent of the moves, but not as well. So in my humble opinion I think it's better just to throw a stunt guy in there who's going to make Connor look really badass, because that's what he is. There's no need for me to go in there because of my pride and make something not as great as it could be.

We have a really amazing stunt co-ordinator, Mike Massa. Chris Daniels and Andy Dillon are two of my stunt men. I also have another stunt man named Zak, but they are all very, very good. They would help me out with the small stuff I would do, but generally it was them and they worked really hard.
