Improv is not something I had a lot of experience with, because for a long time, my only experience in front of a camera was all television, which is pretty rigid script-wise, except for the occasional scene where you toss in an ad-lib just to elongate something. Like, say, you're walking down a hall and you just don't have enough dialogue, and you throw in something. But you don't really have time to do other than what's written. It's very rigid. Shows have a certain rhythm that nobody wants disturbed.

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.

I will confess I did none of my own singing. I did all my own costume and makeup, though.

Good decisions don't make life easy, but they do make it easier.

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

Then, at some point, you get identified with certain things.
