It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.

First and foremost, it was fun. Everybody involved with it made you feel like they were an important contributor to the process. We were made to feel valued.

It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.

Anyway, he and I worked on the script together, and I must say he was a joy to work with. Very enthusiastic.

I was very keen. I was super-eager to please and be good. And I was always kind of bossy.

I guess I had fun doing it but it has hard memories for me.

My first job was being a page at 'The Tonight Show.' I saw Jack Paar come out one night and sit on the edge of his desk and talk about what he'd done the night before. I thought, 'I can do that!' I used to do that on a street corner in the Bronx with all my buddies.

It was the best job I ever had. I just left because my whole team was leaving and the new guys were coming.

Working for the Man seemed really good to me.

It was great to do and it's exciting to do those things. That's another thing, that one enjoys the game.
