I like playing fish-out of-water guys. I imagine it's because growing up, my family moved around a lot, so I was always having to redefine myself in new places. Plus, I was a scrawny kid and I found I could avoid getting clobbered by joking myself out of tight spots. I try to bring that humor to roles.

I keep a low profile, so I really don't know. I suppose if it has a practical purpose toward being allowed to work on projects I wouldn't have otherwise...and I appreciate a pat on the back, too. So, I suppose it's rewarding, ultimately.

I went to Taronga Park Zoo yesterday and almost mated with an Emu. So a word of advice is not to get too close to THOSE animals.
