I consider myself almost a Californian at this point, because I've been here long enough. Obviously, when I first came to the land of blond-haired, blue-eyed surfer types, I was the sardonic, sarcastic, liquor-swilling, chain-smoking, dark-haired, dark-eyed guy from New York.
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists.
It's so fun to just slip on different hats and play different characters, even if it's just for a minute.
My personal style falls between casual cool and meticulous slob. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but I love fashion.
I try not to read reviews. It's hard not to hear what the critics are saying, but as an actor, I try not to let it in and to just give the best performances I can. At the end of the day, if you're trying to please the critics, you're missing what's really important: being creative and having fun.
'Sound of My Voice' is an amazing film. Small, simple, yet incredibly thought provoking.
I've been a diehard fan of 'The Simpsons' since I was a kid.
I've got to say, I enjoy a good suit. Something about a really well-tailored suit; I like it.
You've got to have confidence and trust in your cast. You have to have confidence and trust in your director, in your editor. It's such a team effort; I really think you have to pull yourself out of it and just trust. I think the number one thing you can do is just trust everyone around you.
If I'm not barefoot, you'll probably find me with a pair of New Balance on. And I'm not one of those hipster-jump-on-the-band-wagon-ironically-cool NB fans. I've been rocking those kicks since they were true nerd shoes. Since the '80s, yo! Word.
Obviously, when I first came to the land of blond-haired, blue-eyed surfer types, I was the sardonic, sarcastic, liquor-swilling, chain-smoking, dark-haired, dark-eyed guy from New York.
I love 'The Americans.' I think it's one of the best shows on TV.
I'm an avid reader. Novels, non-fiction, comics, it doesn't matter. Best way in the world to feed your head.
Honestly, my biggest education regarding improv comedy actually came on the job working for 'My Boys.'
