Ladies like improv stilts, and i think men like improv giant cocks. but one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. you get to play it all when you improvise.
Son Italian Men
I think in the inception and creation of the characters, improv was the most important part for me, because i wanted to feel at home in those characters. i wanted to feel like i could commit to them. and so much of improv is saying yes and committing, so i think that's where the improv came in. even if i'm saying yes to the x across the room from me, or the tennis ball on a stick, i have to stay alive.

I like doing live things and plays. you can perfect the laugh or extend the laugh, you can get them on a roll. versus improv, which i hate. put it all together. they're more vignettes. improv makes me slightly anxious because i feel for them.

The biggest thing that comes out of improv that gets built on is just character traits. you know, for me the singing was born out of improv.
Character Singing Born
I love improv-ing, you know, from very early on when i started acting the school that i went to and everything was very big on ad-libbing and improv-ing and messing things up, so i feel very comfortable doing stuff like that.

I love performing. i love doing improv. it's a totally terrifying experience, but it's something that i've always felt so strongly about and that i'm kind of obsessed with. and just as an actor, it's a great exercise. it's a great playground, you know, to try things out and to work on your skills. because the mandate of improv is kind of the same as acting: it's all about your scene partner, it's all about being present and in the moment and exploring together as a team, a collaboration.
