RW: He's a freelance cameraman.
GS: Anyone else you're close to?
RW: My brother Greg, the second oldest. He's a musician and also a grip.
GS: Are you number five or six of seven kids?
RW: I'm the fifth son.
GS: Is your sister older than you?
RW: Yeah, so I'm number six.
GS: Are you close to your sister?
RW: Somewhat. She's in Colorado. We're not real close, but we're close.
GS: Have you worked with Asian producers, other than Wayne Wang?
RW: No, I've met a few but the timing is not right or the role is not right. But I keep in touch, keep contacts. And going back and forth to China, we reconnect, see where everyone is with material.
GS: Have you talked to Hong Kong directors and producers like John Woo or Terrence Chang?
RW: I actually worked with Andy Lau who directed Infernal Affairs. Again, it's, “Are you right for this role?” That kind of thing. Being at the right place at the right time. Also just being in their face. It's hard to be in their face all the time when you're over here.

GS: Have you talked with Asian American producers like Janet Yang and Teddy Zee?
RW: Being Asian producers, they want big names. I'm not like a big name. They see the martial arts genre as [my] niche.
GS: So you would need to find a project that you could get some other big name attached to it first?
RW: Right.
GS: You just turned 40 this year. How has that changed your perspective on the type of roles you want?
RW: It's a good time to do leading-man roles. The Black Sash was WB which is like the teenage network. I think I'm a little bit past being a teenage hearthrob kind of actor.
GS: Do you have a picture of the exact role that would be perfect for you?
RW: Like a Bourne Identity.
GS: A suspense thriller?
RW: With some action. That would be right up my alley.
