In conversation with Digital Trends, Twilight actor CamGigandet explained the challenges of playing the hero in Blowback.

Bank heists never seem to turn out as planned as something inevitably goes wrong. In the case of the new action thriller, Blowback, greed trumps all as the crew betrays the man who planned the robbery. The aforementioned mastermind is Nick, played by Cam Gigandet, the brains of the operation who is shot and left for dead by his own crew after a successful heist.

How do you view your character, Nick, as a person? I’m not sure if he’s a good guy. He’s done bad things, but he’s trying to do right. Is he more of an anti-hero? Good guys are more challenging. Even anti-heroes seem to be more challenging, at least for me. They have to abide by a certain set of rules, and they have to live by a certain code. There are things and principles, whereas, in bad guys, it’s way more fun. They just have a lot more freedom. It’s even easier to justify their certain actions, and part of me maybe lives vicariously through them. I’m like, “My god. I would be so good as a bad guy. If I could only be that guy.
