I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.
You can't be a casual observer of something humorous - you have to engage, you have to find it funny for the relationship between actor and audience to work.
I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while.
In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.
I'm just not one of those naturally funny, relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.
I think that there's a fine line between comedy and drama. I think that ultimately, the less winking that's going on when you're doing comedy - and this is just my own thing, and maybe it's why I've never been hired in comedy except by Bill Lawrence - but I think that the less winking you do with comedy, the better off you are.
When you're a comedic actor and you're used to just getting laughs, it's kind of scary to go serious, even for a second.
It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.
Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we've done on the show, like it.
You can't substitute the act of making people laugh. It's definitely something that actors like to do.
