The No. 1 thing I hear from people when I meet them in the airport is, 'Oh my gosh, you're just like you are on TV.' Well, I'm not an actor. I don't think anyone could figure out how to be this weird.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are.
What I've been noticing is people coming up to me and going, 'Are you an actor?' which is cool. That's ultimately what I want.
I know I'm fly - don't get me wrong. But I don't look, like, standard Hollywood. As a comedian, it's something you learn to use.
One of the strangest things about being an actor is that people you don't know feel that they are allowed to comment on your hair, body, clothes, relationships.
Sometimes I don't feel like an actor. Sometimes I speak about it like it was another job, and then I go, 'Wait a minute - I am one!'
It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be.
The weird thing about working in television is that you only see the people that you're in scenes with.
You can be really weird, and people will still accept you if you're in movies. I'm not actually weird, but if I feel like being weird, then I can do it, and they accept it because you're an actor.
Being actors is a strange job.
Some people become so immersed an a show, they have an image that the actor is not too dissimilar, but fortunately I've never had that experience.
