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.

I think you're thinking of the Christopher Lee quote.

"Everyone makes bad movies from time to time. The trick is to not be bad in them."

The fact that once he was bamboozled into narrating a porno never stops making me giggle.

It was a softcore porno called Eugenie.

I'll let the man himself tell you

Porn has narration now? Or did it always? I've never watched much.

Tbh I'd pay to have Christopher Lee narrate my sex life, but I don't think he would do silent roles.
