Writing Has Made Me A Better Actor.

I Think It's Kind Of Strange When People Talk About How Hyped-up The Movie Is. It Almost Sets You Up For A Bigger Fall.

I Started Writing And Acting In These Little Plays And Then I Was Discovered By Dustin Hoffman. He Got Me My First Audition For A Film He Was In, Called 'i Heart Huckabees.'

I've Never Had Issues With Popularity. I Was Always A Popular Guy... I've Always Had Friends And Loved Ones And Everything, So It Wasn't Like, "oh Man, I Gotta Fill Some Void That Was Left By High School." I Had A Great High-school Experience.

When Someone Who Is Known As A Comedic Actor Goes To Drama, It Often Doesn't Work Out, Because They Really Just Chose Wrong, I Think - Or Maybe They're Just Not Good Actors. For Me It's Important Making That Transition Seamless, And Not A Huge Shock And Jumping Into Cold Water. It Doesn't Feel Like I'm Trying To Shock You Or Anything. I'm Just Saying, "i'm A Different Actor Than You Thought I Was. Don't Put Me In A Box. I'm Not Just Some Kid Running Around Screaming Curse Words." I Have Other Tastes Besides Comedy. I Love Comedy, But I Love Dramatic Movies Just As Much.

As A Writer, I Haven't Delved Into Dramatic Writing. As An Actor, I Could Always, Even More So Than Comedy, Do Drama.
