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.

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

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.

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

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 didn't want to do television at all. I really didn't want to do it. I really thought I was just going to be doing theater and doing movies.
