Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's amazing the hours you pull when you're the lead of a show.
Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don't feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.
Certainly, being on stage is a rush.
It's a lot of a workload doing an hour dramatic show. It's just incredible what little time off you get.
When I got to college, I was intending to study film. But I found that my brain was feeling mushy, so I took a few math classes. I started doing really well at them, and solving equations was this, like, drug rush.
A lot of the time in animation is spent getting the story right - that's something you can't rush.
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
Doing a sitcom is like doing a play - you rehearse for three or four days, and then you shoot what you rehearsed on Friday night in front of an audience. An hour-long drama is like shooting a movie. You're shooting 13-14 hour days. The endurance itself is different.
And Seinfeld is so quick: we crank out one show a week, and the hours are very reasonable.
Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?
