LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Whether one is a military legend, a movie star or an ordinary person, actor Colin Farrell believes fortune really DOES favor the bold.

Known as well for his candid conversations with the media as he is for his roles in "Daredevil," "Phone Booth" and "Minority Report," the 28-year-old Irishman plays the titular hero in Oliver Stone's epic, "Alexander."

Discussing the film's theme of how courage begets glory, Farrell said he thinks anyone can know honor if they make brave choices.

"I think you should be as bold a human being as you can be, as honest and as brave as you can be, and I think, it's not always the way, but I think you reap what you sow," Farrell recently told UPI. "So, the more good energy you put out there and the more insistent you are on striving to find the truth in things, whether it is relationships or articles in the newspaper you read, I think the clearer life you'll have, the better life you'll have."

"Alexander" opens Wednesday.
