Taste In Comedy, Like Fashion, Changes All

You Never Saw Peter Sellers The Actor Trying To Make You Laugh. All He Was Doing Was The Character. What I'm Saying Is That I Don't Think You Should Know You're In A Movie. I Don't Like It When Actors Are Winking At The Audience And Saying, 'right, Isn't This Funny? Are You With Me?'

Well, On A Personal Level, I Would Never Want To Take On A Character Who Didn’t Have Some Redeemable Qualities. Even The Worst Of People, Such As Michael Scott In The Office [carell’s Character In The Us Version Of The Ricky Gervais Sitcom], Have Some Decent Human Qualities That You Can Latch Onto.

We Always Spend The Summer Together. My Wife And Kids, We Always Go Back To Massachusetts And Spend The Summer There Near Where My Wife And I Both Grew Up. I Wasn't Willing To Sacrifice The Summer To Go Elsewhere.

Once I Moved To Chicago And Started Trying To Get Acting Jobs, I Just Tended To Book More Things That Were Comedically Based Than Anything Else. I Never Had The Preconceived Notion, "i Will Be A Comedic Actor." I Just Thought, "i'll Go Into Acting And See What Kind Of Work I Can Get."

For Me, At Least, All Of My Career Goals, All Of My Focus, Everything Just Shifted And The Importance Was My Children, And That's Where All The Joy Came From As Well.
