I'm choosing my words carefully cause I'm sure, when it comes to being naked with Jennifer Aniston, they will be printed. But, believe it or not, it was just really silly, fun, funny and entertaining, at the end of the day. Hide

Well, yeah. The barometer is always whether or not you find it funny. There's plenty of scripts that deal with similar subject matter that I find not funny at all, or way over the top. The trick in my opinion to a really good comedy is when it walks up to that line, and you're always wondering, "Are they going to step over it? Are they going to go too far?" That balancing act of, "I can't believe they're getting away with this, why aren't they falling?" If you don't come close enough to the line, then it's almost too safe and predictable. If you go way over it, then nobody cares to watch it. You could make a really funny movie or episode about the darkest things in the world and if you just handle it the right way it's going to be fine. Hide

Like most young actors starting out, I really just wanted to act. Whether you find yourself stumbling into a drama or a comedy, you're going to jump on whatever you can. I started out doing plays. When I moved to New York, I was as enthusiastic about the possibility of doing what Im doing now as I was about the possibility of becoming Al Pacino or something. Hide

[on his role in Pacific Rim (2013)] I play Dr. Newton Geiszler. It was wonderful to be given a character who can actually read. It was fun to do something that wasn't just pure comedy. I definitely have a joke or two. It's not too unlike Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park (1993). He'll make you laugh, occasionally, but you also do worry about whether or not he's going to be eaten. Hide
