I took ballet for two years in high school and then in college on and off, and I went back into class. I'm nowhere near good enough to be a professional, but it's great to be in that environment. The discipline is so impressive.
Peter VackMy feeling was, "This is the future." And what's great about a place like Amazon is they really give the creators of their shows freedom, and there is less limitations imposed on them creatively than when you're making a conventional network show.
Peter VackYou would almost think it would be the opposite, but making a film sort of made me freer in my acting.
Peter VackI have done much more dramatic work than comedic work, but I think comedy is harder than drama in a way. I think it's one of those things that's constantly discussed - people who do comedy think it's harder, people who do drama think it's harder. Usually drama is the one that gets this highbrow respect.
Peter VackMy philosophy is that if you're playing a moment truthfully, that it's a funny moment, then hopefully it will be funny. I like to just go for a truth in the work as much as I can. There's a lack of ego when you're working with comedy that I really love. It's hard to come up with something funny. It's become a fun game in a way. Everyone is going for the gold, for that humor.
