stayed
I stayed at a Howard Johnson's once when I was 19 and that kind of scarred me for life.
funny good stakes
Thing is, I'm a funny actor, but I'm not good at being funny. I'm going to ramble for a second: I'm an actor who can make things funny in the moment, like in stakes or in circumstances or out of character.
adult male pulled water
There's nothing like being an adult male and being pulled under water without your own control.
bed business came creative decided main pictures plan rick
I think one of the main reason's Rick Rosenthal and Whitewater PIctures decided to 'get in bed with me' on 'Fat Kid' was because I came in with a strong business plan as well as a creative vision on how to make the film.
beats definitely entire hardest level movies physically realize start stay ten time
You just realize that at the beginning of 'Scooby' you're just going to start at level ten and stay at ten the entire time. It's hard. It physically beats you up. It's definitely one of the hardest movies you can do.
battle believe choices direct electric energy fan funny leading lots people truth
I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I'm big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.
several walked
There are several times when I walked into a room and just felt like such a sham. That's the problem with auditioning.
either guy labeled ton
Somehow, someway, you get kind of labeled this guy who was in a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie too many. And Freddie Prinze Jr. - it's not his fault, either - it's just these are the things that happen. I'm not a George Clooney; I don't have a ton of opportunities.
collar continues therefore until wants
How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? Nothing! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.
smart kids rocks
To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.
party drinking play
I don't go to parties. I don't go to clubs. My friends and I don't go drinking, we play D&D. I'm still a weird entity in the world.
school class play
When I was in high school, I was the guy directing plays after class. I started my first theater company at 19, and my second theater company at 21. I've always been a guy who doesn't do well with the passive nature of being an actor.
drama actors coins
There's not a comedy actor who doesn't want a chance to do drama, and vice versa. As actors, we're always looking to be pushed and to do the other side of the coin.
drama character layers
I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.
