I just figured, "If I can do theater, agents will find their way."

I thought, "I don't want to be the only unfunny guy in this movie. I really would like to be somehow involved in the comedy if I'm going to do it."

I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.

Because I'd only done theater, that's really what I thought most of my life would be. I always figured that movies would be a part of it at some point. I didn't know how or when.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

I will be always grateful to NBC.
