I certainly don’t like to play a bad guy. There are no bad people. It’s only shades of grey. Also, I am not a great actor who can transform completely into a totally different character for a movie. I am not a trained actor.

I’m very proud of ‘That Kind of Woman’ with Sophia Loren, directed by Sidney Lumet, and I loved doing ‘Gunman’s Walk’ because I finally got to play a bad guy.

If you go into something saying, ‘I’m the bad guy,’ you do yourself a disservice as an actor. It’s always about trying to find the humanity in a character.
One of the things that I like about ‘Narcos’ is that not only Pablo but with all the characters – this is not a black and white show. This is not a regular American cop show where two cool cops go to save a country from a bad guy. All the characters are very complex.

This ain’t bad-guy talk, cos I’m not a bad guy. But people don’t realise what fear can do. I’ve had situations where I’ve been so scared, where I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, and it’s gone on for weeks and it’s ruining my life. It makes you sick, it makes you mentally ill.
Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there’s the bad guy in the back seat. It’s infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That’s like going to bed and thinking there’s a monster under your bed. It’s silly.

I love being the bad guy.

Torture is an impermissible evil. Except under two circumstances. The first is the ticking time bomb. An innocent’s life is at stake. The bad guy you have captured possesses information that could save this life. He refuses to divulge. In such a case, the choice is easy.
