Joking that nobody sees his good movies, the actor revealed that he started having panic attacks in 2010 when filming for Puncture commenced.

It was the first time I started having mini panic attacks on set. I really started to think, I’m not sure if this acting is the right thing for me. I’m not sure I’m feeling as healthy as I should be feeling.”
