While Tim Roth is out promoting his latest feature "Youth Without Youth" he talked about his role of Abomination in "The Incredible Hulk".

The one main reason he took the role was for his children explaining; "What's such fun about it is that I'm purely doing it for my kids, purely,...So I'd be on set and go, 'OK, is this scene cool for my kids?' And if it's not, we'd check into it and say, 'OK, now we can't do that, because they'll find that silly and childish.'"

Roth continues by explaining what he brought to the role and how he plays the character:

"I play him as a Londoner," Roth said. "He's a guy. He's a Special Ops guy who goes a little too far. ... I watched [the old television series,] and I used to like it when I was a kid. And I used to get the comic books, too. So it was fun."

The Incredible Hulk is due out June 13, 2008.
