of this stuff you do I very dilemma I like action by a hate violence so I tried all those years I try to put a lot of comedy natural comedy situation comedy with all action so I hope the audience see the action is palpable like a dancing ha ha ha forget forget all the violent things is that a business decision to be more family-friendly exact like part of morality something you deal with in the in

Never hear chuck Norris doing that...

That's more common than you might think. I knocked someone in the mouth once when I got into a fight by a gas station and their tooth was jammed into the knuckle of the index finger on my left hand. I still have a tooth-shaped scar there. And I'm not the only one. I once talked about it in a bar and a bouncer there showed me the exact same scar on his hand as the same thing happened to him.
