I think drama is easier than comedy. Especially on film. In a comedy, on stage, I can sense the rhythm, the breath, of the room. I can tell how to ride a laugh. On film, it’s a little harder if it’s a one camera thing. If it’s a three camera thing, with an audience it’s more like theater, it’s a bit easier. I did a comedy called “Love Life” on HBO last year. William Harper Jackson was the star of it and Anna Kendricks. I played Williams Uncle. The Uncle was a real cut up and I was like, how do you do this? And I remembered, comedy isn’t comedy. Comedy is drama. You just tell the truth and it will be funny. So rather than me trying to be funny, I was serious! Acting is believing.
