I guess my first big break was getting the hit show 'Cavemen' on ABC. People made fun of it, but it was a huge opportunity for me and moved me out to L.A., where I learned a ton about acting and how much I didn't want to be in makeup for four hours a day.

From Nick Kroll

'Cavemen' was obviously a big opportunity. I learned a lot about how to act and about the politics of being on a set every day. Like, who do you have to listen to and who you don't have to listen to.

From Nick Kroll

I started doing improv in college, and I met Mike Birbiglia and John Mulaney and a bunch of other very funny, talented people who I'm still friends with and work with.

From Nick Kroll

Meeting someone you admire, and then that person's like, 'I'm a fan of your work' - it's a really neat feeling.

From Nick Kroll

I speak some Spanish. I would love to go make a movie in Spanish. I'd love to be in an Almodovar movie or an Inarritu.

From Nick Kroll

Between podcasts and places like Funny or Die or CollegeHumor, there are so many venues to get the word out. It makes it difficult in that there's a never-ending desire for content, so you have to constantly be turning stuff out, but that makes you better and more prolific in general.

From Nick Kroll

When you start as an actor, you can only hope you'll be able to act at all - let alone on a show that lasts seven seasons.

From Nick Kroll

I got my SAG card doing commercials.

From Nick Kroll

Doing radio commercials was how I was really able to leave my day job.

From Nick Kroll

I didn't have any terrible survival jobs. The main job I had before I was able to transition over to acting full-time was working at an after-school program at a middle school teaching improv and standup. So even when I had a regular job, I was still lucky enough to be doing the stuff I loved in some way.
