He spent all his free time doing push-ups for a week before they shot this.they were going to give him a katana and have him be a samurai, but he didn’t want to be stereotypical, so he told the execs that he could fence and they wrote in references to the three musketeers insteadhe could not, in fact, fencehe spent the weekend before shooting learning howNot only that, but he found he liked fencing, kept it up, and became a master fencer.When I had the privilege to hear him talk at AwesomeCon 2015, he informed us he is a master fencer.
