The way Shakespeare wrote Fallstaff is with a heightened language and everything.

The weird thing is, in America, people were saying, "You're not going to get recognized because all you're going to see is basically your forehead and eyes."

Sometimes, I have lost out on a gig because I was not high enough profile.

For me, because I've had classical theater training, when people say, "Oh, my god, the play is amazing!," I'll never get to see it because I'm in it.

Hence the genius of having Ken steer this ship as well. You have to invest these characters with a Shakespearian quality and not in a way that might disengage the audience but in a way that actually lets you play to an audience.

Well, I'm not a natural gym person myself, anyway.

Life itself is pretty funny when you realize how absurd it can be.
