Green Street Hooligans. By Eric Goldman. Filled with pent up anger and frustration, Matt finds an outlet for his repressed feelings when he meets Pete, played by Charlie Hunnam. A true football that's soccer for us Americans fanatic, Pete introduces Matt to the members of his so-called "firm," a group of fellow West Ham United supporters, whose organization and tendency to get in dangerous fights with rival teams' firms often evokes the feeling of a gang. Soon, Matt finds himself a full-fledged member of the firm, and goes from being scared of the constant violence they find themselves immersed in, to embracing it and finding true thrills from it. Wood, who for the most part normally plays fairly innocent and good-natured characters, revealed what drew him to this role. One was that I didn't know a lot about hooligan culture.

They almost have this sort of double life. They're people with families and some of them have relatively good jobs. That fascinated me. And also the opportunity of being able to take a character from that kind of relatively innocent place to essentially making him a hooligan was very attractive to me. To explore a darker side of humanity that I'd not really explored in film before just as an actor was an interesting challenge.
