I love hard work. 'One Man, Two Guvnors' was so physically tiring I ached all the time, but I took a massive amount of pride in the fact that I only ever missed two shows.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've only done four or five episodes of 'Two and a Half Men,' and its amazing how many people recognize me for that more than anything else in my career.
Another show I really enjoyed working on was 'Raising The Bar.' I did four or five episodes of that show.
Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.
Eight shows in six days can become very tiring - actually, a grind. It's not that I ever dreaded going to work because I always maintained a level of gratitude.
I work so hard for the fans who watch our show.
My first series regular was on a TV show called 'Starved,' which was so many years ago, and I was the only guy they brought in. So I go in, I read, it goes well. The next day I hear I got the job, and I rejoiced.
For myself, anyway, I think that recurring has been such a gift, because I've been able to work on a lot of shows that I've really had a lot of respect for before I went in, shows like 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Nip/Tuck,' for example.
Looking back on my career, some of the hardest times - eight people at a show, 12 people on a bus - were some of the most fun.
I love shows about creating and cooking. Sometimes they're so extraordinary, you end up setting yourself to fail.
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
