I was trying to play as real possible - I wanted everything to be real.

The director of the [Grimm] pilot called me in. I had worked on a pilot called Love Bites with him, and the producers I worked on with on Hot In Cleveland, so they knew me from comedic worlds, and they wanted someone who could be light too. Because it is pretty heavy.

I was part of Quintuplets, I played a cat - this is my first drama.

I have to reign in my personality a little bit. Sometimes you want to go more colorful, but that's not my job on the [Grimm] show. My job is to be the center of the show, and the further you move out the more it can get wild.

One of my first gigs was as a guest star, and I was supposed to be a big imposing character.

I don't drink now, I'm too busy. It sucks.

I think the show [Grimm] became a little more procedural following the pilot, and I didn't know that would happen. Recently more of the mythology has crept in, and the characters are starting to bloom.
