The most important thing for me as an actor playing a character is to make you laugh. That's my No. 1 goal.

It's part of my responsibility, as an actor who has been lucky enough to have this job, to take my job very seriously, show up on time, know my lines, and give the best performance that I can because I'm doing something that so many other people work very hard to have and never get.

Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.

I'm very grateful and appreciative, and I remind myself every day that there are thousands and thousands of actors that have the same dreams and aspirations that I have.

I wanted to be a clown when I was a kid, so I love interacting and goofing around with kids.

Bringing up a child in a loving relationship is the most important thing.

Between pets, comedy and toys, I try to surround myself with as much fun stuff as I can. That's how I pick projects. It's about whether I'm going to enjoy myself, enjoy the other actors, and enjoy the other people that I'm working with.
