I do theater as much as possible, but it's very difficult to manage for me.

It meant so much to me as a kid to see professional theater and hear Shakespeare's words.

For me, if I'm going to do a play, I prefer to do something with language that I don't get to speak on TV.

Petruchio is a very clever guy and clearly has a lot of bravado and confidence. My feeling is that he's broke at the beginning of the play and needs a dowry to save face back home.

I went to Fountain Valley High School. I remember watching Grove Shakespeare productions here. It left a big impression on me.

Most people know me from 'The Office,' where I played a guy who grunted out three or four words an episode and was kind of a knucklehead, and so I think it's surprising for people to see me do something like this. But Shakespeare is what I grew up wanting to do.
