If I Put Down My

I Learned In My Early Years In The Theater That I Would Never Become The Guy On Top. I'll Never Create A Show; I Don't Have A Brain Expansive Enough To See The Whole Picture, In A Way That Would Behoove Anyone.

I Never Went Too Long Without A Job. The Problem Was A Lot Of The Early Jobs Are Almost More Demoralizing Than Unemployment.

I Think What Makes So Many Other Actors Miserable Is Focusing Completely On Making Other Plans. They're Obsessed With Their Haircut And Their Headshot And Their Agent, Their Imdb Profile Or Whatever.

I Also Grew Up Building Theatrical Scenery. I Spent Many Years Building Scenery As A Large Part Of My Income And That Allowed Me To Really Develop My Shop Skills.

My Wife, The Actress Megan Mullally, Was An English Major At Northwestern University And Loves Fiction. Like So Many Things In My Life, She Curates Things For Me. For Example, I Have The Daunting Prospect Of Donna Tartt's "the Goldfinch" Waiting For Me When I Get Through My Current Reading Pile.
