I love 'The Americans.' I think it's one of the best shows on TV.
My personal style falls between casual cool and meticulous slob. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but I love fashion.
The more cerebral, slightly darker comedy stuff is where I love to live.
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 intend to act forever if I can.
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.
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.
You've got to have confidence and trust in your cast. You have to have confidence and trust in your director, in your editor. It's such a team effort; I really think you have to pull yourself out of it and just trust. I think the number one thing you can do is just trust everyone around you.
