“I was a professional fighter for a while, and I trained in martial art...” — Ryan Guzman Quote

I was a professional fighter for a while, and I trained in martial arts for seven years, so I think that kind of helped form a base for me as far as dancing.

I'm a hip-hop kind of guy, but to be honest with you, I could listen to R&B all day. Give me some slow jams, and I'm a happy person.

I'm Mexican-American. My dad was actually born in Mexico. He was raised up there, and he came back and forth to America pretty much his whole teenage years. My mom is from Sacramento, California, and she's a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. She's a whitey.

I really want to work with Tom Hardy. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are also on my list. Those are my top three actors. As far as actresses go, Kate Beckinsale, because she's so smokin' hot.

Martial arts will always be a part of my life. I started when I was five, and if I don't open a school one day or teach or manage, I would still practice to stay in shape.

I thought, 'If I can create a business to promote martial arts, that'd sure be a lot of fun.'

O, had I but followed the arts!

Everything that I did to win a gold medal, I'm practically transferring it over to mixed martial arts.

I went to a theater arts school, so I'm interested in many different projects, whether it be film, television or even live theater. I'm a performer. That's what I do. That's what I want to do.
