Obviously comedic styles do change.
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
That's why my ires always come comedic in a way because - can I just say something? See, I sound like such a smooth talker.
I came from a very different sort of background and pedigree from the people who were on "The Daily Show". I was an actor. I was sort of - the irony is that I've done as much dramatic work in my career as comedic work and I don't really think of myself as a comedian.
If you're comfortable with someone, you feel creatively free. Whether it's a comedic scene or a dramatic one, you don't feel self-conscious because you feel safe with the people that you're around.
I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.
I'd probably be better in an action role and even a more comedic role as I find myself pretty hilarious.
I don't do things that are comedic. This is such a crazy idea.
Some of the things I've been in are comedic, but I don't get considered for true comedies because I'm a 'dramatic' actor.
The one thing I would never wish it to be thought is that you play serious roles in order to achieve some sort of respectability which you can't if you're playing comedic roles.
I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.
No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.
I don't think I'm predominantly thought of as being a comedic actor.
Peter Sellers was just a brilliant actor, and also comedic.
I'm a comedic actor, not to mix words, but it's something I think about. A comedic actor. I like to think that Christopher Guest, Phil Hartman, Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness are comedic actors. And Dan Aykroyd, too. Those are my heroes.
I think a lot of comedic actors, on their close-up they can deliver. But when it comes to reacting to other people being funny, that's work in itself.
Michael Ian Black wears many hats. He's a stand-up comedian, a comedic actor, he's now a writer-director so he knew how to work with all of us. And furthermore, because so much of his career is based on improvisation he gave us the freedom to do that as well.
Why are comedic parts for women the exception, not the rule?
As a comic, it's anti-comedy to be known. I think a lot of comedic actors get lost in this world of Hollywood and all this stuff. They lose what brought them there in the first place. I'm very trepidatious about it.
My little boy Sonny makes me laugh all the time. He has good comedic timing.
