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. So a lot of that doesn't take place on television, at least the television I was doing at the time when I first started.

I love going to concerts, so that whole environment is something that intrigues me anyway.

I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.

If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.

You make the choice. You look at each scene and you make sure that this is not a person deceiving people.

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.
