"To be honest with you, when I was reading the comics, I would get a little bit confused," he confessed. "It's a graphic novel and usually it's pretty explanatory, but I was getting a little confused about which one is Chance and which one is the real person."

"They had to go to great lengths even in the comic book to make this exposition and explain if this is the real Chance or not," he added. "Even going as far as doing that on television — they tried doing that with the Rick Springfield show — and I think it's something that would be really hard to maintain. It would be hard to show it and hard to explain it."

"This way, it really keeps the spirit of the character, in that he does create a character — he creates someone who comes between the killer and the target," he explained.

As for whether we'll see a new Human Target comic with a Christopher Chance modeled after Valley, the actor said he's not only open to the idea — he'd love to see himself immortalized in a comic.

"Could you imagine that? A comic with your own likeness? That's when I know I've made it!"
