World champion boxer Steve 'Celtic Warrior' Collins has fought and beat the best in the business. A two time world champion turned actor, Steve and I shared a scene together where he was to knock me out. I'll take it as a compliment that I hit the ground so hard & convincingly that Steve thought he actually connected and quickly jumped in with, "Oh shit son, you OK?" I must be the only opponent to ever get an apology from him!
FUN FACT: This particular photo was taken backstage after I performed my impression of Al Pacino. Steve did have his hand up in the star studded audience to ask Pacino a question but later confessed to me, "After your impression, I took my hand back down and thought, 'How the f@#k do I follow that'?"
