Oh no! Um... hahaha... well, this is certainly not my element. I like being outside, sometimes? I don't really have one element. I tend to adapt. I like to work. I'm not one of those actors who... you know, has to do a play every year. So I wouldn't say the stage is necessarily my element.
Yeah, I like being outside, haha!

So... I always wanted to be an actor, but I'd like to go back to the fire department question, because the person mentioned my connection to the fire department, and I do support this wonderful group in New York called "Friends of Fire Fighters." And it was started by Nancy Carbone, in the aftermath of 9/11, she just went around to the firehouses in her community, to see if they needed anything, and it's grown into this amazing organization, where they provide mental health services to firefighters and their families, as well as other services, and I can't say enough good things about them. They were there for the firefighting community after 9/11, and after Hurricane Sandy, but they are there on a daily basis, for any firefighter or their family that needs support or help.
And getting back to the acting question - it's something I thought about as a kid. I never really thought I'd do it for real, or certainly make a living at it, and it's something that - it took years to sort've... be able to make a living at it, and I feel lucky that I'm able to.

Well, John Oliver's show is really, really good.
And I like the Daily Show. And I think Larry Wilmore is doing a great job on his show. I'll be very sorry to see Jon Stewart go. I think he's just been amazing every year that he's been on.
What do I like?... Well, BREAKING BAD. I guess that's not current, but that's something I really like... what's on now? Game of Thrones, that's a good show... and I love watching Peter Dinklage. You know, I've worked with Peter a lot over the years. Our first movie that we did was called LIVING IN OBLIVION, that was written & directed by Tom DeCillo, and it was about the making of a low-budget movie, and Catherine Keener's in it, and Dermott Mulroney, and he's made some really wonderful films. I've worked with him a few times. The last film that I did together with Tom (the director) was called DELIRIOUS, with Michael Pitt, and in that one I play a paparazzi-type photographer, and Michael played a homeless/out of work actor, but I take him under my wing and he becomes famous and gets his own reality show. And it's a very funny film. In LIVING IN OBLIVION, Peter played a character in a dream sequence that I did.

Uh, sure. Why not. As long as you get oreos and french fries as toppings.
