When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors.

In 'Robin Hood,' I did quarterstaff fighting.

A personal game-changer was when Ridley Scott cast me as King John, the King of England, for 'Robin Hood.'

Jonathon stretched his arms, like he was reading himself for exercise. He leaned back and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Robin was a bit surprised by the blunt question. "Doing what? Laying here, strapped to this table? I'll be honest, I've asked myself the same question.

I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
