They wrote a great character and it's been fun playing a guy that loves America, loves his job, believes in doing the right thing. Doggett has a lot of codes that he lives by and I think it's a throwback character. I believe in a lot of things Doggett believes in.

It's fun to present stories that have a character that, really, everybody wants to be.

Summer was kind of the opposite of the Marissa Cooper character, who was the straight 'popular girl,' ... It was fun to be the humorous part of the Marissa-Summer team, just like Seth is the humor on the Ryan-Seth team. Josh has such a tremendous sense of humor, so humor and comic timing were important parts of what I guess you'd call the formula for the show.

Character interests me more than narrative. I make the narrative up as I go, which is more fun anyway.

It's really a fun and fast-moving piece about some of the best comedians America has ever produced. It's a terrific show to see.

It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character.
