dog lovers dog-lover
I have a dog. I'm a dog lover.
acting entertainment grew
I just grew up loving acting and loving entertainment.
self judging
No one ever judges their own self.
beautiful teacher drama
There's a film I did called 'Front of the Class', about a teacher who had Tourette's. That was a beautiful blend of drama and comedy. There's some great moments of levity in the script.
summer thinking years
I worked in television now for a few years. I think summer has become a really exciting time for television shows. And I think it's become a time for shows to distinguish themselves.
hard-work way feels
I always feel like hard work leads the way, and from there, I leave it up to the powers that be.
jeans guy everyday
In my everyday life, I'm a jeans and button-up shirt kind of guy.
summer school play
In Michigan, if you want to act, it's local theater, it's high school theater and it's going to camp and putting on plays in the summer, and I always loved doing that. There was something that just drew me to it.
summer fun shows
I'm not a network executive, but it seems to be a time when networks take more of a gamble with higher-concept shows. And so, it's fun to be on something that's original, that's finding viewership, that's finding a great audience, and really distinguishing itself. Summer's a great place to do that.
drama dancing joy
There's a certain rhythm to comedy that is almost like you're dancing and you just go on autopilot, so to speak. There's something just beautifully enjoyable about comedy in that respect. It's a joy to be able to do that. Drama, you get to go to depths that you haven't gone to before.
want stories feels
When you feel moved by the story, you want to tell that story.
parent acting watches
When I was young, my parents made me listen to old music and watch Jimmy Durante. I fell in love with the whole mystique of acting and entertainment.
moving character play
In a great play or a great film, there's a rehearsal period and they find this character. On TV, everything moves fast.
stars rocks insane
You can find old Jewish newspapers from Detroit that have my promotional ad in them. It was a totally insane time in my life. Paul Rudd was also a bar mitzvah emcee, you know? It was like being a local rock star in Detroit.
