What's been exciting for me is to read the scripts.

My dad used to put me in front of the TV screen and made me watch old Jimmy Durante and Dean Martin movies. I just always loved entertainment.

There's a film I did called 'Front of the Class', about a teacher who had Tourette's. That was a beautiful blend of drama and comedy. There's some great moments of levity in the script.

Often in television, you read a script and you're amazed that you get the scene given to you.

You can find old Jewish newspapers from Detroit that have my promotional ad in them. It was a totally insane time in my life. Paul Rudd was also a bar mitzvah emcee, you know? It was like being a local rock star in Detroit.

Anytime you get to join a group of people you admire and respect, you want to keep those doors open.

I just grew up loving acting and loving entertainment.
