My mom used to say that I became a fighter and a scrapper and a tough guy to protect who I am at my core.

I am a pretty tough guy. I'm an old hockey player.

But I'm not a tough guy or a street fighter for real. I'm just an actor.

Anybody who was in 'The Godfather' is a tough guy.

I'm used to being the big tough guy, the bodyguard type.

It's not a fighter. It's not a tough guy. It's not an idiot. It's a guy who is willing to bring a presence and in certain situations step up and stick up for his teammates and create room. But he also has to be a good player to play within a lineup.
