I intend to act forever if I can.
Pilot season can be maddening. You're basically putting yourself and your talent out there to be scrutinized several times a day for months by network executives who have probably never acted in anything since their junior high school production of 'The Wiz.'
Acting is reacting. You can't react if you're not paying attention, if you're not listening.
You're using such different muscles and you rely on physicality in live action, but in animation, you totally throw that out the window. But somehow, they're both as satisfying.
I've always been a big fan of 'Law & Order: SVU.' I think Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni are just incredible.
I like comfy feet. If I'm not barefoot, you'll probably find me with a pair of New Balance on.
I am very lucky that I get to go to work and laugh all day for my day job, and then go home and torture my artistic self.
I actually started as a director, but then I saw Mark Ruffalo in 'You Can Count on Me,' and I thought to myself, 'I want to do that.'
Honestly, my biggest education regarding improv comedy actually came on the job working for 'My Boys.'
I'm an avid reader. Novels, non-fiction, comics, it doesn't matter. Best way in the world to feed your head.
I'll always come back to comedy. Doing drama can feel satisfying, but day to day, it's just not as fun as laughing.
I love 'The Americans.' I think it's one of the best shows on TV.
Obviously, when I first came to the land of blond-haired, blue-eyed surfer types, I was the sardonic, sarcastic, liquor-swilling, chain-smoking, dark-haired, dark-eyed guy from New York.
If I'm not barefoot, you'll probably find me with a pair of New Balance on. And I'm not one of those hipster-jump-on-the-band-wagon-ironically-cool NB fans. I've been rocking those kicks since they were true nerd shoes. Since the '80s, yo! Word.
