Jackie Earle Haley is no Stranger to the World of Comics

Jackie Earle Haley seems to be no stranger to the graphic novel. First brining the roll of Rorschach to life in "Watchmen" and now taking on the roll of Guerrero in Human Target. MTV news had a chance to ask Haley about his parts in the comic adaptations.

While Haley acknowledged that his role in the upcoming "Human Target" television series (based on the DC Comics series of the same name) is a new character, he said his presence in two properties making the jump from print to screen is only "somewhat of a coincidence."

"In working on 'Watchmen,' I feel like I'm starting to understand that Comic-Con world," Haley told MTV News. "The way people get into movies and television shows -- it's just awesome. I recently saw 'Star Trek,' and I had a nerdgasm watching it. It was just so cool."

Haley admitted that he wasn't aware of the "Human Target" comics before taking the gig, but definitely has the adventures of the series main character, Christopher Chance, on his radar now.
