Is your grandfather Jimmy Gentry? I met an amazing man named Jimmy Gentry last year. He spoke at my school. Beforehand, one of my teachers mentioned that he wanted someone to ask him what he "couldn't do for 50 years". So after his speech a whole bunch of dudes line up to shake his hand and what not. I was at the end of the line, and when I reached him the room was empty and I asked him. I was the only person to ask, and he took both of my hands in his and said he could never talk about Dachau without crying and holding someone's hand. It changed my entire view of life and made me thankful to just be here.

How did you decide how to portray a character like Joey Ramone? Did you speak with the living Ramones, Tommy, Marky, CJ, or Richie?

As a UFC Athlete, I can only assume you have to learn to not think about the pain. Is there any instance where that just doesnt translate into real life? I.e.- Do you still freak out when you step on a tack or put scalding food in your mouth?
