In an interview with "Late Show With David Letterman" aired March 1, Kitsch said he was flying in and out of the Philippines to film Oliver Stone's new film "Savages."
"I had the visa to work there on a new Oliver Stone film called 'Savages' with Travolta, Benicio, Uma Thurman, Aaron Johnson," he said.

When he recently went back to the Philippines, Kitsch said was stopped by a customs officer. Apparently, the customs officer discovered that there was no more space on Kitsch's passport for a new stamp, so the actor was told to go back to Japan, where he just came from.
"I'm in the backroom and he said, you're going back to Japan... He said 'There's not enough pages. You're out of pages, so I can't stamp it. You're gone.' I'm like, I can work here, I've got the visa. He didn't believe I was an actor So I'm literally pitching myself to this guy," Kitsch said.
Kitsch even told the customs officer that he worked on other films and was now working with John Travolta on "Savages." But the immigration agent didn't believe him, and even asked him, "Where's Travolta?"
Since the airport's computers were not working, Kitsch used his iPhone to show the customs officer the trailer of his newest film "John Carter". But the customs officer, who still didn't believe he was an actor, allegedly even tried to get Kitsch to give him an iPhone.
"Their computers are not working. So I told him,'you gotta look me up, I can show you something to prove (that I'm an actor) and he said 'You are on the next flight to Japan,' reminding me again. And then I'm looking on my iPhone because their computers weren't working. And he's like 'hey can you get me one of those?' And I'm like 'can you let me in and I will give you one of these.' And he still not believing (me)," Kitsch said.
"Finally I show him the trailer of John Carter on the iPhone and he stopped and he's like 'oh my God what's that?' And it's a great white apes that seen there that's in the trailer. And he’s like, ‘That’s not you.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ He’s like, ‘You have short hair.’ And I’m like, ‘Mate, I cut it. It grows. It’s me.' So, then finally he's like 'I love trailer, go ahead. You are in.' So, John Carter got me through customs."
Kitsch was also part of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" where he played the role of Gambit."
