PUBLISHED AUG 11, 2018

At the Los Angeles premiere of Peter Berg's newest action-thriller 'Mile 22', the stars of the film spoke about what was unique to them about this specific project.

Ronda Rousey, who plays "Samantha 'Sam' Snow," talked about her transition into acting, and the encouragement she received from director Peter Berg for believing in her.

“It meant a lot to me to have somebody see more than just a fighter in me.  It’s easy to feel like sometimes people think that's all I have to offer, and he saw something in me that I have been trying to see in myself for a really long time and that I am more than just a fighter and I can be so much more.
