letting people sitcoms
There is a way people like to compartmentalize you on sitcoms and I've been very cognizant of not letting that happen.

I worked at Suncoast Video for two years during the summer in high school.

Working on 'Lonely, I'm Not' - I love the material so much, and it's spring in New York, so I'm walking home whistling every day.

In prep for the role, the young actor has to 'lift weights and I hate it,' he says. 'I'm in New York seeing friends and I have to go off and lift weights for two hours. I'm not exactly in great shape. Your body hurts every day, but that pain is good, I suppose.' Grace says his commitments to 'Spider-Man 3' will take up about twelve months.

audience boot camp dealing elements front graduate great lots mentality reaction school sitcom touch
The great thing about a sitcom is that you're in front of a live audience, so you really get in touch with what audience reaction is, but also there are lots of elements of film that you're dealing with, and there's kind of a great boot camp or graduate school mentality to it, because you're going to suck.
thinking people actors
I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.
comedian stage knows
I'm not a comedian, but I love the comedians who know when to get off the stage.
people just-friends actors
I'm not just friends with fellow actors, but I find that a lot of people are out here in L.A. I go out of my way to make sure that's not the case, but I do have a lot of friends who are actors.
guy trying use
You can tell when someone is just trying to use you. It becomes just someone who's hanging around. Whenever someone sucks up to me, it never goes anywhere because I'm too boring a guy.
nice thinking people
I think it's good to have a nice, healthy group of people all doing different things. A lot of my friends don't even work in Hollywood; they just happen to live in L.A.
college strange loser
It is strange when you're a loser in college, which I was, to then get your own show.
dad scripts firsts
The script for 'In Good Company' was the first one I ever showed my dad.
writing editors stories
I don't want to be an editor! I don't want to direct; I'd be a horrible director. I don't want to write - I have a 'story by' credit on one film I did. And I don't want to edit at all.
