'Tim Roth likes to fight to relax,' says co-star

Tim Roth likes a good punch-up to help him relax, according to the co-star on his new TV series.

The Reservoir Dogs star, who is currently playing the lead role in US drama Lie To Me, wrestles with co-star Brendan Hines when they are taking time-off from filming.

Brendan, who appeared on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, said: "We wrestle on set, we play in the hallway."

"I was missing a good fight scene from Terminator, so Tim said: 'OK, you want a punch in the face?'," Brendan said - impersonating Tim's English accent.

"So he punched me in the face, I took him to the ground, gave him a couple of plugs in the ribs and then we had lunch," he joked.

He added: "He is the most nightmarish bore I have ever met, no just kidding, he is fantastic.

"We both have lots of common interests, like movies and music so we get along great. I learn from him on a daily basis."

Series one is currently on Thursdays at 10pm on Sky1 and Sky1 HD, the second series of the programme starts in September.
