I know other actors who are relieved when their shows get cancelled, and I've never felt that way about 'Community.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most shows find themselves descending into sentimentality or earnestness at some point but, with 'Community,' the joke is always on.
I've been on so many primetime shows that were cancelled - after one episode, after 10 episodes, after just one season. I got used to that. But I found myself choking up a bit at 'OLTL.' It was really hard to say goodbye to those people. It was not the way we wanted to go out.
I wasn't necessarily looking to do comedy on TV, but I don't think it's an accident that I ended up on 'Community.'
In a weird way, the drama behind the stage was sort of keeping 'Community' on people's minds.
I don't know what it's like to be an actor, where if your show gets canceled, really you're just a bum.
I'm a huge fan of 'Community'; it's, I think, one of the most brilliant comedy on television and has been for a long time.
Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.
You do a job; your show gets canceled. You get used to it.
I've met so many fans of daytime television who've watched the shows with their moms and grandmas and feel like they've known the characters their whole lives. It's sad for them to have to say goodbye to their favorite soaps and characters. We don't want that to happen to the 'Days' fans.
For there to be a 'Community' movie just seems like an appropriate way for the show to go out. That would be my perfect end.
