'Smallville' gig was another one of those things I got through WWE. At that point, I had absolutely no aspirations to pursue acting.

Sometimes it's hard to get people to take me seriously as an actor when they just see me as this WWE muscle head.

It was always one of my favorite things, the action figures, the video games, when I was with WWE, even though I'm not a gamer. I would literally go out and buy the games just so I could play myself.

I had been struggling to get roles in Hollywood for three and a half years after leaving the WWE. Then I finally got an agent - the agent I have now. He's a great guy, but he turned me down three times before he even decided to take me on a as a client.

I went to a very academic school that actually - when I got to the point of wanting to pursue acting, they just had no idea how to do that, because all of their contacts were very academic.

I work for me, 18 hours a day. It's my gig. So I don't have time to get a point of view.
