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

What I didn't realize is that the writing process for comedies is that you do your table read, and if you aren't funny on that first day during the table read, they take your jokes away and give them to somebody else.

I will be always grateful to NBC.

In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.

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

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
