I really like Guy, both as a fan and as a collaborator.
But then we turned around and made this film, so I was thrilled.
Though Raymond is clearly a skilled enforcer, he spends much less time physically fighting than King Arthur did.

Some of the tensest confrontations inThe Gentlemenare entirely verbal.
Its just really fun to go into scenes armed with Guy Ritchies dialogue.
Nobody really writes dialogue the way he does.
Theres a couple of scenes in there where I get to really let loose with the Guy Ritchie vernacular.
For me, its as much fun to throw insults and snappy dialogue as throwing punches.
But it was amazing.
For all the screen time we have, I think it was shot in four-and-a-half, maybe five days.
We worked very intensely but quickly together on those.
I was really just blown away.
I thought he put on a clinic.
He had something like 45 pages to deliver in four-and-a-half days.
He came in as a consummate professional and just absolutely smashed it.
It was very sweet too.
He described acting to me as hours of boredom punctuated by moments of terror.
Thats a pretty great description.
The Gentlemenis in theaters now.
