an interview with kevin nash
we chat with the pro wrestler about his roles in the ring and marvel's the punisher.
by ken p.
march 26, 2004 - during his long career as a professional wrestler in the wcw and wwe, kevin nash is probably best known as diesel.
as an actor, nash makes quite a splash in the punisher, taking on thomas jane's title character in a fight sure to rock the rafters.
we had a chance to chat with nash about his work on marvel's next potential blockbuster, as well as his wrestling career…
ign filmforce: how different is your approach to a role in a film like the punisher compared to your mindset while wrestling?
kevin nash: i think the biggest thing is a fight scene is a fight scene, but a movie fight scene – because you're looking at camera angles, specifically… because when we wrestle, it's the cameraman's job, and the truck, to catch the action. whereas in a fight scene, you've got set marks that you've got to make, because the cameras are set – though there are some handheld – but the base cameras are set, so you've got to hit marks.
ignff: would you say that your mind has to be more in the fight while filming a movie, or is it just a different technique?
nash: in professional wrestling, i think that they want you to be bigger than life. it's almost like an over-acting type thing – whereas on the big screen, you're 35 feet and they've got a close-up of you to put it on the screen in the movie house. at 35 feet, it's more subtlety than the overboard drama that we do in pro wrestling.
ignff: so in wrestling, you have to play 360° to row 54…
nash: right. absolutely.
ignff: how does that knowledge of the differences affect you when going into a scene for a film? because, as you say, you can get a level of nuance on film that would get lost in the ring.
nash: absolutely. in the movie, it's 20 seconds here, 20 seconds there – it's not like when you're wrestling, where it's a continual process. if you've got a pay-per-view with a 22-minute time limit where the ref's got the apparatus in his ears and he's giving you time cues, you can be 10 minutes into it and still know that you've got 12 minutes left. so it's a different process there, too, because basically we're going to shoot this segment of the fight, we're going to cut, and we're going to pick up over here. and of course in my case, in this film, you've got thomas's point of view, my point of view – you're filming from different angles, also. i actually got a chance to see the fight scene edited about 2 weeks ago in l.a. when we did the voiceovers, i got to watch the final cut of the fight scene.
ignff: what was your reaction to it?
nash: i'm one of those people who can't watch themselves do anything. i could never watch myself wrestle. i've probably watched a handful of my matches. i never could watch myself. even when i played college basketball, i hated film days… "oh god, i'm gonna watch myself screw up." i'm just one of those people who can't watch their work.
ignff: are you the type of person who's critical of what they're doing, or how they look?
nash: i'm so super-critical of everything that i do. friends of mine that are in the industry have seen it and said, "it's really great. it's a great fight scene." and then i'm expecting to go in there and just be completely blown away by this fight, and then i just think, "ok, if they say it's all right…" you know what i mean? "if you guys say it's great, then i'm with ya. you're the experts." lions gate and the people that did the movie are really happy with it, and as an actor, if the people that are employing me are happy with it, then i am too. i just hope that the people that are going to watch the film are equally pleased.
ignff: have you gotten better about your self-criticism over the years?
nash: you know what? i think it's the opposite. i think i've gotten worse. when i was a greenhorn in wrestling, just to make it on tv was huge. on your first break… "wow, i'm getting a tv match! i'm actually going to get some exposure!" as you do it longer, you can watch a match – it could be a flawless match and at the 23-minute mark you throw one half-assed punch that kind of looks fake, and you go, "awwww, see! that's brutal, right there! i lost 'em!"
ignff: are you the type of person who would dwell on things like that after the fight?
nash: i would if i watched it back. if i really watched it back and analyzed it, then it would probably drive me crazy. i know that about me, so to me it's just like, "okay. that's over with." if i was working for vince (mcmahon) and vince enjoyed it, and the agent said it was a good match, then that's good enough for me and i move on.
