Cung Le TKO Frank Shamrock
Terry: You grew up fighting. Is acting something you always wanted to do, or did you fall into it?
Cung: I always wanted to do movies, but when I started fighting it became everything and later I fell back into acting. I have been blessed, and when these opportunities come up I have to take advantage of them.
Terry: Who has been a big role model for you with in the film industry?
Cung: There are a lot of people I look up to. Everyone I have worked with from producers to other actors have become good friends and also, good role models. I always become good friends and these people, who really do want what’s best for you.
Terry: You’re currently focusing on your acting career. When will your next fight be?
Cung: Nothing has been scheduled yet. After the second Scott Smith fight I was ready to go again, but Strike Force has a bigger list of fighters now and they have to let the fighters fulfill their obligations. They wanted me to fight recently, but I was away in China. I can only do what I can do.
Terry: You have fought some of the world’s best fighters. Who has been the toughest?
Cung: In MMA, I would have to say Frank Shamrock.
Terry: Being a father of three boys and knowing the dangers of fighting, are you going to allow your sons to fight?
Cung: I’m going to support my boys in whatever they want to do in life. I will definitely guide them in the martial arts way, so they can be more focused, disciplined and determined as human beings. I feel martial arts will help them in both their professional careers and private lives.
Terry: Would you say martial arts are more of a mental or physical game?
Cung: It’s a ying and yang of both mental and physical.

Terry: When you’re away from home and your normal gym routine, what are you doing to stay in shape? Are you able to spar on the road?
Terry: With a lot of the junk food made available on set has it been hard to keep to your diet?
Cung: Yeah, it can be really hard. Sometimes I get so hungry and don’t have much time, so I have to grab what I can. Whenever I travel though, I always have an extra suitcase filled with healthy snacks, protein power, greens and all my vitamins. I come prepared.
Terry: Do you do all of your own stunts?
Cung: For Dragon Eyes, I did all my own stunts and do most of them for my other movies. They always have stunt guys on set waiting for me to get tired, but I will tell you … most of the time they’re sitting on their butt, because I don’t get tired. My mentality is go big or go home.
Terry: If you, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, and Bruce Lee all got into a brawl, who would win?
Cung: Depends on who is directing it.
