Terminator Salvation director McG is defending embattled actor Christian Bale.

I'm delighted to speak about Christian because he is the most professional, passionate actor you are ever going to find. It is that simple," McG said Saturday at a panel discussion at Comic-Con in San Diego. "Bale is just all about the work."

Reports surfaced last week that the 34-year-old Bale - who was arrested after allegedly assaulting his mother and sister (which he denies) lost his cool on the Terminator set when the director of cinematography screwed up a shot.

McG admitted Bale can be opinionated but in a good way.

"I can't just tell him, 'Go camera left,' because Christian is going to talk to me in-depth about what decisions were being made into his character going left.

"It's wonderful," McG added. "It's the elegant opposition you want. You don't want people just going, Yeah, whatever. Tell me what to do, and Ill do it.

"Christian sets an excellent example in that way," McG went on. "Just for the record, he is a big hearted, good guy. I've worked with a lot of people, and that's just simply who he is."

Added McG: "He loves his wife. He loves his child."

    I feel he is a great actor and like Johnny Depp and his co star in the Dark Knight, Heath Ledger he stays in character even when not filming. Thats what makes him such a great actor. I think as far as the alledged assaults go, why would they wait until his opening premiere to do it! I think that its just the media trying to build something small up into something big, like they always do.
