I loved Highlander. Highlander was a great part of my learning experience and I loved Duncan Macleod. I loved playing him. In a way I kind of miss him, but then I don`t, because it was time to move on.

On Martial Arts:
The longer I study, the more I discover how much I don't know. This applies to a lot of different things, but I've found it to be particularly true in my studies of Martial Arts. Man has always explored new and different ways to immobilize an opponent but the basics will always remain the same. For the past fourteen years I've studied various styles of Martial Arts and have learned that the human body can only move certain ways. Martial arts is an endless maze of complexities that can be used to build character and give you discipline and respect. Sometimes I believe that today with the advent of "new" styles also comes the loss of some of the qualities that founded the basics of the arts. The Martial Arts are not solely for fighting or a public showing of strength. Each individual must determine why they want to study the arts, be diligent in their pursuit of learning, and they will find Martial Arts will unfold many secrets to them. For more Click HERE

A few things you might not know about Adrian.

Upon turning 16, when most British kids graduate high school he opted to stay on two years more for a higher education. In London, he had a job selling windows door to door. Needless to say that didn't last long.

In the fall of 1993, he was lauded as a hero when a thief ran through the set of "Highlander" with a stolen video camera and Paul pounced on him, holding the suspect until police could arrive.

I don't care what this guy does; I AM A FAN and always will be! While i'll agree that's he's been in some less than stellar movies; I don't agree that he's a bad actor. I actually think he's quite talented. I do wish that he would get the material to support this.
Yeah Yeah...he's a great looking Man...truly good looking and Not a A$$-clown like so many of our talented thespians. I love that part especially!
So...say what you will, but he does and always will have a gazillion fans out here!
