My dad's a photographer, and my sister is a writer and a poet. My little brother is a mandolin player - he's a bluegrass musician. It's always been a part of the family.
When I was in Chicago, I was working as a carpenter while I was doing plays. I thought it'd be a fun set construction job, but it turned up to just be a straight-up factory.
I don't have actors in my family, but everyone is pretty artistic.
I grew up in Maine working at a video store and found myself being pulled more and more to on-camera stuff.
I took one class at Second City called Improv for Actors, and that was it, and that was only because my agent told me I had to.
I was born tall. I was awkward and gangly. Before that, I was a really chubby elementary school kid. I've always been sort of a physical abnormality.
I'm saying nothing new that Dave Pasquesi is really good at what he does.
My children, twins who are three years old, they're awful creatures right now.
Reed Scott is really good at coming up with insults.
The Duplass brothers do that so well - that very simple, very horrifically awkward comedy.
The truth is, there is no link between vaccines and autism. Vaccines are incredibly important.
There is a part of me that really just thinks it would be so funny to see the 'Veep' characters in 'Game of Thrones.'
Ultimately, I just made the decision to move to L.A. sight unseen. It took me a while to save up some money to do it.
There are people I've met in L.A. who kind of only talk about the business. Because maybe they think that's the best move.
