Oatmeal. It's a really good complex carbohydrate. Because of the fiber it will make you feel full.

Working with The Rock is one of the biggest highlights of my career. In addition to training together, he also gave me a lot of insight into the film industry. I always appreciated the time he took, and still takes, to communicate with me.

He's one of the very few people I actually look up to and highly respect. He came from nothing, like I did.

I trained with Sly on BULLET TO THE HEAD. What I find when I train alongside actors of his calibre is that, many times, it's more about offering them accountability and motivation. He already knows what he's doing in the gym! He's trained with some of the best trainers in the world. But an actor's mind should be focused on the dialogue and the story they are telling, not the specifics of crafting their diet and exercise routine.

So that's where I come in with legends like Sly.

Or with someone like The Rock, it's more about being their training partner. Offering support.

I met Zac at the gym! I was introduced to Zac by his fitness trainer on THE LUCKY ONE, which was filming on location in New Orleans. His trainer was a former Navy SEAL, not a Marine, and Zac needed a military advisor who specifically knew about Marine life.

Zac and I talked about the movie and who his character was. I then went to set and met the producers and director, and they hired me. My job was basically helping Zac walk like a Marine and talk like a Marine. I would go over to his house and we would run certain scenarios, march certain ways and do other things that a Marine would do.

At the very end of that movie, when his fitness trainer left for home, Zac and I started training together. And from then on, I helped him prepare for scenes in other movies...shirtless scenes in NEIGHBORS, DIRTY GRANDPA, PAPERBOY. Things like that.

Zac is one of the few actors who has the discipline to achieve ANY look that a character requires. There were certain projects where he would bring his food with him wherever he went, just to remember to eat at the exact time necessary. He would set alarms on his phone, etc.

That's a GREAT question! And one that I think about a lot. I feel like if there were more transitional facilities that could house and accommodate service members when they come back, that would be a huge step forward.

When veterans get in trouble - when they do find themselves homeless - the most obvious thing they need is a place to sleep. The first thing that comes to mind is a "Fisher House" scenario - y'know those places next to hospitals where family members can stay for free when you're in the hospital?

The availability of a temporary facility like that would have been hugely helpful for me personally.
