I remember on 'Dr. Katz,' there was no script really at all. There were just scene outlines.
I worked a lot on 'Conan' as an actor, and when I moved to New York, a lot of my friends were on the first staff of that show. I started doing bit parts, which was the first thing I'd done on camera in front of a live audience.
I sing a little bit, yeah. But I sing very poorly.
I had no intention of ever doing voice-overs. I wasn't opposed to them; I just didn't have any particular knowledge of how or why people do that.
For me, performing isn't really particularly difficult.
It feels like animation has a little more independence than traditional sitcoms ever did.
Incompetent and relentless are the worst combination of qualities.
I think, to a degree, I'm maybe more suited for voice work. And I don't just mean my face and body. Because maybe there's something about what I do that just, for some reason, is better to just hear me.
Voice actors I used to know who were starting out in comedy were guys who did a lot of voices. They were usually comedy actors who developed their comedy by doing tons of impressions and voices that were usually very funny. And I never did any of that, so that's, I guess, why I don't consider myself a voice actor.
I actually walk through Washington Square Park a lot.
I don't recommend not working hard, but it's worked for me.
I was a teenager when 'Miami Vice' came out, and that was such a huge show.
'Bob's Burgers' is done with the cast all together - not necessarily all together: some are in L.A. and some are in New York, but we're hearing each other. So scenes are performed as a group. And 'Archer' is just me alone in a booth.
