He always wanted to do dramatic roles but was scared to get out of his comfort zone until The Smashing Machine was presented to him."For years, I've been dreaming and hoping. My desire was to play not only a dramatic role, but something that I felt like I could really sink my teeth into, and rip myself open. You hear that term. I just didn't want to do drama. I wanted to do something that really allowed me to do that," Rocky said.While his performance has garnered Oscar buzz, it will be interesting to see if the movie's box office failure will affect a possible nomination for an Academy Award.
