I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to a few really bad commercial auditions because I needed the money, and when you booked a commercial, your life was made: you could eat.
I loved cutting together simple commercials about margarine or soft drinks - all kinds of silly products - but I tried to make the commercials different.
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
I did a lot of commercials early on, and I remember the first commercial I ever got was for a product called Funyuns. I had to eat these chips for, like, 12 hours straight.
When I was in college in Chicago, I was doing a lot of commercials - that was my bread and butter.
I started as a teenager going up on commercials.
I starred in Dr. Pepper commercials and Buick ads.
I have done so many stupid commercials and terrible other little projects that never went anywhere and just ended up being terrible.
I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.
I did all the Chef Boyardee commercials, in America, when I was young.
