Perhaps anticipating how people would perceive his comments on the recasting, Nash clarified that he wasn't actively in the market for acting roles. 

"I love when people say, 'Oh Nash is trolling for movie parts.' Hey guys, again man, I'm 65 years old," he said, sarcastically remarking, "Yeah, what I want to do in life is, I want to go someplace that's not my crib, and be in a hotel, and work a 12-hour day. And then leave, and go home, and while I cook and prepare my meal and eat it, go over lines for tomorrow. And while I sit in makeup the next day, have somebody run lines with me, and then every time I get a break, run lines again before we shoot a scene, or a scene we're not in, to find somebody to run lines with."

He may recall that acting sometimes entails worse things than having to run lines or having one's role recast: while filming "The Punisher," co-star Thomas Jane actually stabbed Kevin Nash on accident during their fight scene. "That was a bad day," Jane said in a later interview. "I gotta tell you, when I was swinging around, and grabbing the prop knife, and he's there, and I plunge it into his chest ... and it stabs him, and it goes in, and I'm looking at the knife, I'm looking at him. Kevin, he's just looking down at me, and there's a knife sticking out of his chest ... Yeah, that was rough, and you know what made it worse? He was so nice about it. You're like, 'Oh my god, this guy's going to knock me across the room.' Just out of a reflex. He just sat there, looked at the knife, looked at me and shook his head. I sent him a couple cases of beer, if I remember right."
