men light america
The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.
jobs boys years
A guy may wear a suit and have a high-paying job and appear very mature, but essentially, he's a 14-year-old boy.
kings age want
I want to keel over on stage playing King Lear at age 99 or something like that.
school years class
I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.
giving laughing people
I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
add pounds cameras
The camera adds ten pounds and ten thousand dollars.
believe creativity thinking
Creativity is absolutely for everyone. I firmly believe this. I think if you're the driest accountant with the plastic pocket pen protector it's in how you interact with the world. There is artistry in everything that we do and there is expression in everything that we do.
player games style
I used to play a lot of chess and competitive chess and study chess and as you get to the grandmasters and learn their styles when you start copying their games like the way they express themselves through... The way Kasparov or Bobby Fischer expresses themselves through a game of chess is it's astonishing. You can show a chess master one of their games and they'll say "Yeah, that is done by that player."

I'm lucky to have a wife and a child that keep me grounded.

The Baha'i celebrity, or the Belebrity, is a character actor with a big head playing an annoying creep on a TV show.

I grew up watching comedy. It was among all the geeky things that I did.
writing character creating
You have total control of it, and when you're an actor, you're subject to production design and costumes and directors and studio choices and producer choices, but when you're writing it, you're creating your own little world in your head, peopled with your little characters. No one is in there monkeying with it, at least not at first - though they will. With this and the other projects I'm working on, it'll have to be given away, and it'll have to be someone else's property.
brother kids python
When I was a little kid I loved the Marx brothers and discovered Monty Python when I was 10 or 11-years-old. I used to take a tape recorder and hold it up in front of the TV to record entire episodes to play over and over again, so that I could memorise it.
father ask-me asks
Absolutely father knows best, always do what your fathers say, and if you can't find one then just ask me, I am a father and I know best.
