Acting is particularly one of those areas that we have to venture and out when they need to fill a very heavy role.”

Stevens, who finds the fighting scenes of his favorite kind of stunt. Also gave us an insight into its preparation “Anuniongred” before they all take.

My motivation in this industry overcomes fear, and being able to walk away from a dangerous job, saying ‘I did that’ so forcefully.”
Next Stevens appears opposite Kerry Washington and Omar and In the upcoming movie Shadow force.
