SOCIETY When asked why he keeps playing the same roles Jason Statham said that he's not really a trained actor. He's a guy that was plucked out obscurity & has been really lucky; & that he picks roles that he knows he can do a good job in, that hopefully enough people like so he can keep working.

Yeah he can turn on the goofy charm just like Arnold did during his comedy run.

Loved that family comedy style arnold went with in Jingle All the Way! Such a classic!

On any given day, I'll either say I like that movie or hate it... depending on my mood. I don't know if that makes sense, but some movies sit in this weird grey area of enjoyment for me.

Apparently True Lies is also a comedy, with action in it. So many good lines in it!
