Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.

Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done.

There's just something about me and my persona that's a little bit bigger than life and ridiculous at times.

I always wanted to do a Disney movie.

There are actors that are really fine actors but not good auditioners. There are really good auditioners that may not be great actors. There are great actors that are really good auditioners, too. I happen to be someone who's not a great auditioner, but usually on a set can hold my own.

I have heard nothing from my friends at The Family Guy. Yeah, I heard that they got picked up again and all that good stuff, but I haven't heard anything yet. But, you know, I'm very elusive and hard to contact.

So, deadpan I think just means not acknowledging for one second that you think that this is funny and clever.
