[i Read News] Because No One's Going

As An Actor, You Can Really Play The Intensity And Gravity And Seriousness Of The Moment, And Just Rely On The Circumstances Being Funny. The Joke Is Kind Of The Situation You're In, Or The Way You're Reacting To Something, As Opposed To The Characters Just Saying Something Witty.

Going Into Editing When I Got To New York Was Part Of That. I Guess I Just Kind Of Wanted To Know As Much As Possible. But I Have A Real Love Of The Whole Process, From Start To Finish. So Right Now, I Fit Into The Acting Part Of The Process, But I Wouldn't Rule Anything Out. I'm Enamored With How The Whole Thing Works.

I Worked As An Assistant Editor, Actually, For A Few Years. That Was Right When I Was Just Starting To Get Out At Night And Do A Lot Of Stand-up, Improv, And Sketch Work In New York. It Really Is Invaluable. I Think It Pounded Into Me An Awareness Of What An Editor Wants And Needs, In Terms Of Clarity Of A Moment, Where And When To Start And Stop A Line.

Whenever I've Messed Around With Radio-controlled Things, There's Always Been A Part Of Me That's Thought, I Wonder If There Might Actually Be A Little Guy Piloting These Vehicles.

I'm Sure I Cause Just As Much Consternation For Editors As Any Other Actor, It Definitely Makes Me Feel More Comfortable Understanding How And Why All The Different Camera Setups Exist.
