    Frank Grillo (Purge, The Grey) joins us this week to share how behind the tattoos, muscles, and grit he has transformed his life to be in service to those who are at their lowest point. Frank shares how his bond for Liam Neeson came full circle after working with him in The Grey, and also how working with Nick Nolte in Warrior changed his career. We also talk about his background as a fighter, his switch to DC from Marvel, and his experience working with friends of the show Scott Caan and JK Simmons on One Day As a Lion.

    I’ve met Frank at a early screening of The Wheelman on the Sony lot. We were both lost and looking for the Milton Berle Screening Room.
    He stopped me and asked where the Room was and I said, “I’d like to know because I’m looking for it, too.”
    He said, “C’mon brother, let’s go find it.” I mentioned that “we” were late and the screening was supposed to have started 10 mins ago. He laughed and in a very perfectly timed comedic reply, “Don’t worry, I’m the star and I’ll say it’s your fault.”
    I got to walk with him laughing our asses off into the screening room full of people waiting for Grillo, who, true to his word, blamed me and the room erupted into laughter.
    He is a genuine badass, but better yet, a truly funny guy.

      Well said. People like to talk crap about Bruce Lee because he didn’t compete in sport, but he also didn’t go around picking fights or looking to cause trouble. This mindset you see from a lot of ufc/mma fans is just ridiculous. Wanting to fight everyone and everything as if it proves something. Only idiots get into fights for the sake of fighting. That’s not how a decent person conducts themselves.

    I trained in Shorin-Ryu Shotokan and American Kickboxing for 15 years, concurrently. I can tell you, i've won every single encounter......because i WALK AWAY! I don't like being hit. I don't want to hit others, or hurt. People that get very physical on a whim, have nothing to lose and it can easily go past just a beating. I have nothing to prove to anyone. Call me any and every name in the book, call my mother any name you want. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WORDS!! Touch me, or my daughter, then we'll see who wins. I'm not cocky at all. I know there are MANY that can beat me. Many that will kill me and many i can easily beat. I'm not taking any of those odds. I'll tuck tail and walk away and LIVE. I may have saved my life, but i also may have just SAVED YOURS.

A person that versatile unless he’s fighting multiple guys and especially at 5’10 and 172 lbs. Meaning he won’t always be at a massive physical disadvantage. He probably wouldn’t lose a whole lot.

      @@thomaschristopherwhite9043 If you train its not hard to beat normal guys, the gap between a trained and untrained person is pretty crazy. Also most guys don't actually want to fight, they want to appear to want to fight, but sometimes they talk themselves to a point where their ego is too much to let them back down, those guys make up a lot of guys you might fight and they are pretty easy to beat. Plus if you arent a psycho its pretty easy to avoid getting your ass kicked just in general, you don't run your mouth, you don't look for trouble, and it lets you decide when a fight will happen or not.

      A well-rounded and trained fighter can fight random schmucks all day long and never lose. The gap is insurmountable. The people who can handle themselves typically don't go around looking for fights, so it's not implausible that Frank has only fought guys who were hopelessly outmatched.

    talk to any real fighter and they all are nervous before any physical confrontation.

Guys who aren't fighters and haven't faced real life or death always talk like this guy. The nerves before any physical confrontation never go away unless you are drunk or high on something.

    That being said I’m definitely scared to get out at traffic light and try to fight someone or just fight someone for no reason.
    Lots of people walk around with guns and knives 🔪 and other very dangerous weapons trust me I’ll rather be the bigger man and walk away it’s not worth going to jail/prison hurting yourself and hurting someone else just to prove your a tough guy.
    Even tho I can hold my own and protect myself against most people I back down always because it’s not worth it.

    This reminds me of a stand up comedienne that, I forgot his name, but basically he was saying how if someone started heckling him, when he was onstage, he would destroy them, except one time it was Chuck Liddell that was heckling him. This comedienne was so confident in his ability to fight, that it took the number one ranked mma fighter at the time, before he even got nervous. Frank says it would take Cerrone or GSP before he is going to feel a challenge.
    But Frank must be the luckiest actor in the world, that he can challenge other untrained for fighting, actors to fight on sets, and never get barred from working in movies.

    Interesting to hear FG's thoughts. I've trained BJJ and kickboxing on and off for decades (now nearly 50) and never once had to use it. I grew up in a pretty tough part of Australia where fighting was fairly commonplace and I thank whoever is looking over me for that. Sometimes I think it's because I'm not an easy target ( I'm 6"5, 100kgs), but ultimately I think I was just very very lucky. I've known plenty of big guys who got in heaps of fights, so who knows?

    In Brazil specifically there is - or at least was - a general sense that fighting with your bare hands is an effective way of settling minor disputes revolving around a fundamental lack of respect for someone. Certainly not as english gentlemen, by the way. It’s normal to become friends after fighting, as if it were some sort of rite of passage into respecting a person you have every reason not to respect.

The best way to win a fight is to avoid it all together. Even guys like Jocko Willink and Tim Kennedy ( you can't get anymore tough or badass then these two) have said that. it is ALWAYS better to avoid fighting if you can. even if you know how to fight, it's still better to avoid fighting because lots of bad things happen in fights.
