I feel like I&#39;m the most well-adjusted character on the show (<a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/title/tt0370194/?ref_=nmqu_qu">Reno 911! (2003)</a>), even though I&#39;m sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters. But I think mine is. I feel like I&#39;ve dealt
with my demons, and it&#39;s all out there.

Kerri and I met at theater camp when were 16 years old, which is

University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering
with these people.

My muse is a tiny, fairy-like creature from Gnardgnanesh: a country
that only exists if you wish it to. He&#39;s about 4 inches tall, greenish,
and resembles a little twig.

&quot;Yes, I am complimented on my work in <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/title/tt0096626/?ref_=nmqu_qu">The Kids in the Hall (1988)</a> once or twice a week. It&#39;s a nice feeling&quot; -talking about being confused as a member of &quot;Kids in the Hall&quot;, to which he is not at all related.
