When we moved to L.A., I started going out for more commercials, and then one day they emailed me a movie script. The first thing I said was, 'No way. I love commercials.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is rare that you read scripts that genuinely move you and make you feel that, regardless of the commercial possibilities, you have to make the film.
I do mostly comedy, and it tends to be a subtler comedy. But I think that probably lends itself well to commercials.
I love commercials.
I've never been one to book a ton of commercials.
Commercials are art, too; they're 30-second movies starring people like me. If you look down on the medium, you're never going to book. If you don't love it, do not bother. Find another job you like.
The agency was desperate to get started with the commercials in 1976, but I was working on Star Wars.
I did a couple of American Express commercials.
When I was in college in Chicago, I was doing a lot of commercials - that was my bread and butter.
When I went to L.A., I started modeling, hoping to travel and learn from photographers. It led to auditions to do commercials.
I walked in thinking, 'I have ten movies under my belt and now they want me to go back to making commercials?' I said, if I do that, I want it to be funny.
