QUOTES:

It’s all very surreal. I’ve had two very fantastic experiences. In The Lord of the Rings and in Black Hawk Down. I feel very lucky. I’m sort of doubly excited.

I’m rather accident-prone, I have to admit. I’ve broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times.

On how he got the part in Black Hawk Down (2001): My character breaks his back, and I had mentioned I had done that when I was up for the part. Who knows why one actor gets a job and another doesn’t? I think it was just good timing that I happened to be there and I had had the experience – I mean, I was lucky.

I broke my back. I fell out of a window… some friends had a roof terrace on the landing before their apartment, and I fell off the drain pipe. It gave way, actually, and I fell three floors. I was told I might not walk again. So, for about four days, I was contemplating that as a serious part of reality. Then they operated, and I walked out of the hospital in about twelve days.
