For years, they cast me in these dumb straight roles of businessmen in three-piece suits.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By the time 'Suits' had come around, I had been acting for maybe six years. 'Deal or No Deal' - I like to call it my very lucrative waitressing job. Most actors find a way to make a living while they're auditioning, and for me, holding a briefcase was an incredibly lucrative means of being able to pursue what I really wanted to do.
I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don't mind being an actor so much now.
It's a dream to be in a company of actors.
I have actually lost a couple of roles - film roles - because a director or producer thought I looked too much like George Costanza, and I could not get out of that box.
From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.
All I ever cared about was actors - toughest job in this business.
I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.
Because I went from the 'Daily Show' where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show, to 'Bruce Almighty' where I played a news guy, to 'Anchorman' where I played a news guy, now I'm... yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits.
I'm pretty tried-and-tested in the world of 'suit acting.'
As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.
