A bit out of context without considering that every character he plays is a bad guy. He was one.
And the point is to scare children (his children), so they avoid commiting the same mistakes he did. Any normal adult would notice this, right?
I believe their is an anecdote about his character robbing somewhere and the actor stopping to give the director notes about how to actually do it.
Reminds me a bit of when Christopher Lee told Peter Jackson how people actually react to being stabbed in the back.
Not a film, but he was a playable character (as himself) in the “Call of the Dead” map for Call of Duty Zombies. But even as a good guy, that mode is endless survival, so he inevitability dies in the end.
Edit: I guess he technically doesn’t die if you survive long enough that the game resets at the ~70 hour ‘killscreen’.
