I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.

I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”

I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.

I always was a funny guy, the class clown. I had a very funny dad and an extremely funny grandmother.

As an actor, I think every moment in your life is giving you a new set of tools. You’re constantly absorbing new information that you can put back onto the screen.

Technically, I'm a New Yorker.

I put myself in the category of "Lucky Guy," and my hopes for the future are that I can continue to push the envelope for myself, and creatively and see what's next.
