I've been watching 'Californication' since the pilot aired and had always thought that it would be so much fun to guest star on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.
It is fun to do the one-off guest stars on stuff.
It's a fascinating job, to come in and be the most interesting person in an episode. Whoever the guest star is, that's the job - to maintain the interest and the focus for that 42 minutes or whatever, and it should be a huge relief to those people that are the leads in the shows.
When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.
Actually, guest star roles are really hard. Since you have to walk into a show where the cast has been working together for a long period of time, it can be a real challenge. And you have to feel your way around that while still making an impact on the overall effect of the show.
I've always done guest-starring stuff.
Oh my gosh, I would love to guest star on 'Entourage.'
One of the tricky things about running a TV show is that you just never know how good the guest stars you cast on a weekly basis, how good they're going to be in the episode. Sometimes they surprise you in good ways and sometimes they surprise you in disappointing ways.
Like, on the 'Parks And Rec' set, I still feel like I'm a guest star. Being a fan of the show, it's really surreal to be on the set and see that it's not real, and getting to know the actors and they're not their characters.
I really think a good host is just a connector. I'm more traffic cop than star. My job is to get people on and off the program, and hopefully keep the audience entertained.
