Man, I ain’t trying to be no movie star, but I just say no to nothing. I try to do everything to the best of my ability, Thomas told MMAWeekly.com.
Somebody wants me to be in a movie, I’ll do it.
On The A-Team
I think it’s definitely good. It definitely brings some recognition and some light on the MMA guys.”
But I think it’s good anytime you (got guys) who come from backgrounds that are next to nothing, that work hard through fighting, and end up getting good opportunities, so I’m actually proud of (Jackson).
I wish they called me to be in the next ‘A-Team’. I’m waiting for somebody to call me to be in a big budget movie, but I’m proud of (Rampage) and being able to make moves like that in life man, that’s success. I’m hoping that more guys in MMA can do big things like that.
On Goals and Roles
You know what’s funny, there’s (no genre) I really prefer, but the only thing that I really wanted to stay away from was these fight movies.”
That was the one thing, as a fighter, you kind of keep away from that. That’s one thing I want to stay away from. I would rather do anything other than play a fighter in a movie.
On the Future
I’m not trying to get (my acting career) pushed off forever.”
But like I said, I’m not going to go out there and make that my main focus. I’m going to do it to the best of my ability. I’m going to work hard whatever I do, whether it’s acting or fighting. If somebody gives me the opportunity to act, believe me I’m going to act my ass off.
