«People say, be wary of sequels, but I was gung ho to do this as much as you possibly could be, ... The Transporter was an amazing turn in my career -- my first leading role. I got to do a lot of action, which I'd always wanted to do as a very physical person, especially with my background as an athlete for years, and so to incorporate all that into a movie role was like a dream come true for me. And then to do it for a second time? It's a real privilege.

We still keep him with a good set of morals and good instincts, and as a likable guy.»
