"I was very familiar with the Kingpin. When I read the comic books, that was the only person I read it for. Growing up like I did, I never thought I'd be able to portray this guy. When they came to me and said I could be the Kingpin and I get to fight Ben, I said, 'Yeah!' It was like a dream come true.""
