I've not gotten so much stuff because I improvise in an audition, but I always feel like, if that's the case, the reason is because it wouldn't have worked out anyway with us working together.
I'd say 80 percent of my auditions go very horribly.
I don't know if you can catch my vibe, but I'm a pretty laid-back guy.
I'm obviously not a guy who focuses on weight too much. But for certain jobs, you have to gain or lose weight.
The Russo brothers are the best people ever, and they cast me in 'Happy Endings.' I did text Joe Russo to say, 'I don't think my character dies, so if you need a local news cameraman to show up in 'Captain America 2'... I know it doesn't make sense, but just hear me out on this!' He was really cool about it and turned me down right away.
My wife and I ran through 'Justified' in, like, a day. And that is such a funny, amazing show.
'Portlandia' - love it. I can consume three episodes of it without even realizing I'm watching TV.
Well, I have been in physical altercations, but they weren't really fights because I am too scared and Jewish. So anytime that it gets to a point where there is gonna be a fight, I immediately apologize.
I'm not a super nervous guy in general. I don't live a ton of my life in my head.
I really want to be good at what I do.
I would like to work with challenging material. A challenge is good. If it's good material; it's a challenge.
What I love about sketch is that the writing of it is idea-based. It's not story-based. It's like, 'This is a behavior, and we're going to write, in a small sample, the funniest way to heighten this behavior.' Sitcoms or movies are about story.
If you're a suburban kid, and you're 30 minutes from New York City, that's the luckiest thing in the world.
Growing up in Livingston, New Jersey, was terrific.
It takes a lot of time to write and put up a sketch show, but that's part of who I am. I don't think that ever goes away, that sensibility - especially coming from the Upright Citizens Brigade. That's just who I am.
I would say, as I'm into my 30s, I have become a better friend because I don't need as much from my friends, and so when you don't need as much, you can be better at giving.
It's so hard to work that I feel so lucky any time I get to work.
I would really love to do an action movie. An action comedy would be right in my wheel house. But those are really hard to come by.
I guess I'd like to do a straight-up drama someday down the line. But I just want to keep working.
I would never put my kids in front of the camera.
