When I was in college, you performed at the campus's main theater. Several friends and I lined up early expecting there to be quite a crowd. Unfortunately, there wasn't. About halfway through the show in the middle of your routine, you broke character and said something like "Ya know, I've been in movies, TV shows, on the radio, but the highlight of my career is performing for a half-empty college auditorium."
After that, you basically sat down and chatted with everyone in the room for the rest of the allotted time. People asked questions about your career and life, not entirely unlike this AMA.
I really wanted to thank you for that. It was one of the most memorable experiences from college. It was the first time I ever had been exposed to the idea that celebrities are just ordinary dudes with all the same ups and downs. Getting to "hang out" with someone I'd seen in movies growing up was pretty dang awesome, too.
I guess I should include a question to stay on-topic... What's your favorite breakfast food? Or, more professionally relevant, what important things about performing have you learned from directing?
