Well, Because I Have Twin Seven-year-old Boys,

In My Career, I've Had Kind Of A Strange Trajectory As An Actor. I Started Out Doing Movies And Theater And Stuff, But Then I Had A Terrible Problem With Stage Fright As An Actor On Stage, And I Quit Stage Acting For A Long, Long Time.

The Voice-over World Has Changed Radically In The Time That I've Been In It. It Used To Be This Rather Small, Select Group Of People Who Did 90 Percent Of The Work. Now It's Kind Of The Reverse: 90 Percent Of The Work Is Done By This Very Broad Mix Of People All Over The Country, And The Guys Who Used To Be The Go-to Guys Are A Much Smaller Percentage Now. But There Was This Massive Interest In Voice-over As Well As In The Story, So I Think That Also Added To The Film's Appeal.

I'd Always Admired Diane Keaton, But I'd Never Met Her.

In General, I'm Always Interested In Characters Who Have Kind Of Extreme Aspects To Them, Who Are In Some Ways Larger Than Typical People.

Most Of The Time When I Receive A Script, It Says Something Like 'rosenberg Is The Fat, Slovenly Mayor, Who Doesn't Want The Kids To Use The Skateboard Park,' Or 'stein Is A Pompous, Rotund Attorney, Imposing To All.' It Would Be So Freeing To Get A Script Where My Character Is Simply Described As 'a Man.'
