A false or misunderstood word may create as much disaster as a sudden thoughtless act.
I love doing both theater and television.
So much of being an actor is trying to force yourself into these roles and sometimes it's a good fit, and sometimes it's not a good fit. You have to get clear about what it is that you do and not try to be a bunch of other people. Not try to be that guy or try to play that part; find the roles that you do well.
This is a musical, ma'am. If there's no gay, there's a problem.
Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.
I don't want to be lofty, but it was groundbreaking, in many ways, for musical theater, so that was really thrilling to be part of The Book of Mormon. And Girls felt very much the same way - there was an excitement about it as we were doing it; I knew it was something special.
I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

Lars [Ulrich] of Metallica is one of the worst drummers I've ever heard, but they hide it because they spend millions recording.
I think like a lot of people in this country I want to see a vision. And, again, that would be true of candidates on all levels. It's time to see a clear, bold vision for progressive economic change.
