hard people
People only see you as your last role, so it's hard to break out of that.
fall genre good inspiring movies poorly respond sports
Sports movies are a genre that I really respond to, but they can be done really poorly and really fall short. The good ones are just so good and inspiring and make you feel good.

My wife is a very talented singer. She sang a lot on 'Roswell,' and I am embarrassed to sing around her.
audience best buying camera connection energy hopefully immediate life palpable preserved stage work
Being on stage was all about the palpable energy of a rapt audience hopefully buying into a life onstage. The immediate connection with the audience was the best part for me. The camera is not as fun, but your work is preserved forever. There's immortality to it.
audience couple episodes fragmented lose
In this fragmented world, with such short attention spans, you've got a couple of episodes to make an impression. And if you don't, you start to lose your audience in a big way.

I played the guitar in ninth grade. My sister's friend went on a semester abroad, and she left the guitar at our house for nine months.

In TV, you may think your character's one thing for two episodes, and then the third episode it could be something different.

I lived in Koreatown for five years, and I lived blocks away from about seven karaoke bars.
I like to think everyone is pretty weird but they don't show it.
cliched difficult jobs people recognize waiter work year
Once I started working as a professional actor, it was like, 'Bye-bye waiting tables, bye-bye bartending, bye-bye all the cliched jobs actors do.' But after a year of not getting work, there's this really difficult conflict, like, 'Do I have to go back to being a waiter when people recognize me from a show?'
good name weird work
If you do good work, you start to make a name for yourself and things can come around. Weird little happenstances happen.
great jaded meet point
I'm not jaded yet. I'm still at the point where, if someone comes up to me with great energy, I'm happy to meet them.
tv
I kind of go where the wind blows, and TV has just been how I make a living so far.
extended goes second
The first season of a show is kind of like an extended pilot. You're only really on the map if it goes a second season.
