I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.
As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.
The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
It's awesome to see something like 'Inception', which is just mind-blowing and amazing, and it actually resonates with the audiences. I feel like that's rare.
Jody Hill, who I created 'Eastbound And Down' and 'Fist Foot Way' with, was my best man at my wedding.
In my gym class, we had something called The Pit, this little alcove where we had to sit if we forgot our gym clothes. It was usually just the crippled kid, the pregnant girl, and me. It was pretty awkward, just hanging with all these freaks who didn't want to show their legs.
I always get forwarded these weird pictures of people getting Kenny Powers tattoos. That's probably the craziest thing I've ever seen: Somebody will ink my face on their body for eternity.
And I'm a pretty avid photographer, I've been into photography for years now, so I try to spend some of my free time with that.
I don't tend to watch too many American comedies. I love British comedy.
And I'm always surprised when people have seen 'The Foot Fist Way', so when people bring that up, I'm always surprised that's reached other people besides my immediate friends.
But obviously you don't want to just be the guy who comes in and sort of spices up every movie. So yeah, definitely moving into more of a leading man role would be great, but on my own terms.
It's a big battle to bring quality stuff into theaters across America, for sure.
I'll still try to nail acting jobs, but with 'Eastbound,' creating it is what gives me the ultimate pleasure at the end of the day.
It hasn't been anything that's been overwhelming or anything, but I do get recognized here and there.
