Portraying Steve McCabe

On playing his character (Steve), Woodweard said, “He was chill, laid-back, but ready to kick some ass whenever it was time to. He was cool, and it was a little different than the last character I played. Steve is a little bit slicker.”

Lessons learned from this movie and screenplay

On the lessons learned from this film, he revealed, “Steve taught me that I can be laid back and still kick some ass.”

The digital age

On being a part of the digital age, Woodward said, “It feels different. I wasn’t an actor in the pre-digital age, so I have nothing to compare it to. I don’t mind it. The digital age has its drawbacks, but it has its benefits as well.”

“I did a longstanding drama in the UK called ‘Hollyoaks’ and I won ‘Best Actor’ at the Inside Soap Awards and ‘Best Dramatic Performance’ at the British Soap Awards in two different categories, and for me, that was a sign that I am doing the right thing, and that I am meant to be here,” he elaborated.

Advice for young and emerging actors

For young and aspiring actors, he said with a sweet laugh, “Run.”

“You must love it if you want to do this. Don’t do it for the wrong reasons such as attention and fame; if those things come, then amazing,” he clarified.

“If you can get paid for doing what you love, that is one of the best things in the world. If you love to do it and you are not attached to the end result, then keep doing it and keep pushing forward,” he elaborated.

“If you love it, then you will work hard, you will get better ,and people will recognize you,” he added.

Stage of his life

On the title of the current chapter of his life, Woodward revealed, “Redemption.”

Superpowers of choice

His superpowers of choice would be flying, superspeed, and invisibility.

Favorite motto to live by

On his favorite motto to live by, he disclosed, “Do something today that future you will thank you for.”

Best advice he has ever been given

On the best advice that he has ever been given, he shared, “Sacrifice.”

Success

Regarding his definition of the word success, Woodward said, “I don’t really judge monetary gain as being successful.”

“If you are lucky enough to live and survive doing the things that you love to do, and you have a group of close friends around you that love and support you, then I think you are more successful than 99 percent of the people who live on the planet. I feel I am pretty successful,” he elaborated.

Closing thoughts on ‘The Last Gunfight’

For fans and viewers, Woodward remarked about “The Last Gunfight,” “I want people to be entertained because that is why they watch anything. Regardless of whatever movie genre you particularly love, you want to sit down, forget whatever troubles you’ve got, watch something and just be blissfully entertained for that short window you get to sit down.”
