Taste In Comedy, Like Fashion, Changes All

I Look At Improvising As A Prolonged Game Of Chess. There's An Opening Gambit With Your Pawn In A Complex Game I Have With One Character, And Lots Of Side Games With Other Characters, And Another Game With Myself - And In Each Game You Make All These Tiny, Tiny Moves That Get You To The Endgame.

I Joined An Improv Group In College, Which Was A Lot Of Fun. After I Graduated, I Moved To Chicago To Try To Get Into The Second City.

Like Most People, I Have Painful Memories Of Trying To Fit In As A Child. I Wore, Said, And Did Pretty Much What Everyone Else Did.

How Did I End Up In Films With People Like Keira Knightley... All These Beautiful Leading Ladies And Me - It's Kind Of Shocking.

I Had, Like, Two Goals In My Career: One Was To Try To Get Into 'second City.' When I Moved To Chicago, My Goal Was To Try To Work At 'second City.' And Beyond That, My Goal Was To Make Enough Money As An Actor To Not Do Anything Else But Act, Not Have To Go And Wait Tables Again.
