This year the actor will appear as Ajax in Deadpool and Frank Martin in The Transporter reboot, The Transporter: Refueled, two roles that are sure to push his career to the next level. While in NYC the London-based actor stopped by for a quick round of rapid fire questions and dished on his fondest memory on set, doing some of his own stunts, and the song that gets him pumped.
