I really like the half-hour comedy. I really do. I know people that are in movies all the time and they, you know, they don`t see their families as much. And that takes its toll over time. And I don`t want to be one of those families. I want to sleep in my own bed every night. I want to, you know, help the kids with homework. And I like that. That`s fun.
You basically have a group of four spies who are chosen for a mission they feel for the fact of how competent they are and how their expertise and they`re the right one for the job. But ultimately they find out they`ve been actually chosen for their incompetence.
When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.
This whole acting thing was always just for me and was always an absolute shot in the dark. If it didn`t pan out, I had my hammer and tool belt, banging nails again tomorrow if I had to.
The more cynical you become, the better off you`ll be.
Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of the earth is multiform.
It seems like there`s more, but Friends was always a high- pressure environment because it was successful from day one. So I`m kind of used to it.
In comedy, you have to be unafraid to hang from the tree branch naked in the high wind and you have to be absolutely unafraid to look ridiculous and silly.
I`ve grown tremendously as an actor by being there. It is comic writing the likes of which I don`t know that I`ll ever see again and it`s been a great, great experience.
I`m not looking forward to the end because it is going to be really sad. These are people I`ve evolved with and whom I`ve really learned from.
I keep waiting for the roof to cave in. I was raised to follow the Golden Rule, you know, treat people the way you wish to be treated. That`s kind of the way I live my life. Maybe someone up there likes me for that.
I find the earth to be a place of misery in which I am surrounded by the conformity that kills society.
I don`t like silk underwear. They don`t do the job, you know?
I am not bisexual. I am not gay. I have never had sex with men.
Having kids has been great for me. I have two beautiful step- kids, as well as my own new daughter. They`ve really helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground, and life is good. I feel like I`m the luckiest guy here.
Comedy is just to me, maybe it`s a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it.
As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you`re the character.
And if you have great writing, it`s really easy, but if it`s not so great and you have to work a little harder, I could tell where the work needed to be done but comedy is just fun.
