Because

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

People do ask me for advice for some reason. And I'll just kind of pose it back to them and let them answer on their own. I never like to give my advice 'cause I don't want them to come back and 'You were wrong! You ruined my life!' so it's more about 'Hey, this is what you just told me. What does that sound like to you?'

Nov 07, 2020

I'm a performer.

Nov 07, 2020

When I start thinking about a role, I read the script a few times and then let it sink in - and then take some time to develop how that character is going to play out and what he's going to do.

Mood

Nov 07, 2020

I'm a Scorpio. I have different mood swings.

Crazy

Nov 07, 2020

As a comic and as an actor, I think you've got to be partially crazy.

Nothing

Nothing is guaranteed.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's a couple of movie parts that I can't remember. There was always something kind of lurking, because when 'The Office' started, I wasn't a regular. You're a guest star, so they don't really need you. They didn't say that, but I've seen the show - with or without me, it's still funny.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm Mr. Grits. One of the non-perishables.

Knows

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was approached by my agent, who said they were interested in me for 'Mr. Robot'. Then I binge-watched the show, and I was like, 'Uh, I would like this. Show me how I'm gonna fit in there, but yeah, I would love it.'

More

Nov 07, 2020

Like

Nov 07, 2020

My first time in Germany. We started off in Heidelberg, which is this quaint, nice town. The Germans, they shoot just like the Americans, except for, if it's a 10-hour day, they're leaving at 5. You don't go to 5:30, 6, 7. No. And then we had a fest for everything.

Nov 07, 2020

Comedy prepared me for drama. There are a couple techniques you can think of. One of my acting teachers said that comedy is like ping-pong, and drama is tennis. You take things a bit slower, so you do get to breathe more and take some more time.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm just looking at Twitter like, 'Ooooooo.' No, I don't engage, but it's great. There's so many avenues to get your entertainment on; you've got so many people invested in this. I love it.

Imagination
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm focused on the work. And now I've done 'Morris' and 'Mr. Robot,' my appetite is whet to go deeper. It's fun, and it's challenging, and it stretches me. I'm not saying I'm done with comedy by any stretch of the imagination. I'm saying, yeah, let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

Jason Behr and Amanda Brooks were cool to work with. Jason and I are fast friends to this day.

Dance
|
Nov 07, 2020

My main goal is to connect with the crowd. I leave room for improv. Whatever happens, happens. When I bring my band with me, it turns into the Craig Robinson comedy dance party.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was in a TV show called 'Lucky' on FX. The casting director from 'Lucky' was casting 'Dragon Wars'. She called me in to meet with the producer and audition, and I got it from there.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Comedy chose me. I always had this urge to be silly that I couldn't control. I remember my father having me read 'The Three Little Pigs' to him, and I would improv all around the story, like when one pig's house got blown over, he put on his gym shoes and took off.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was in my early twenties. I was 22-ish. I graduated from college and went right into teaching. The first year, I taught in Indiana at a couple schools, and then I moved over to Chicago.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

A music teacher. It was in the inner city at a school called Horace Mann. I think I was most effective when the kids pissed me off.

Mother
|
Nov 07, 2020

My mother is a retired music teacher. She taught me in high school, and she would take us and put us in these madrigal groups. We would go to a museum or whatever and just perform.

Better
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you're going to be the lead, you better be ready to always be working.

Germany
|
Nov 07, 2020

Always wanted to go to Germany... probably one of my top ten.

Funny
|
Nov 07, 2020

I worked with Tyler before on 'Daddy's Little Girls'. He couldn't be smarter or more laid back and cool. He's always throwing out lines and is funny as hell. And he was shining his light on 'Peeples', too, lending his name to showcase Tina as a first-time director, and me as a first-time lead.

Mixed
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have a sound. It's called 'funk mixed with stank.' That's what I do.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Peeples' is definitely not 'Meet the Parents'. It's more a movie about family secrets. It does explore class issues somewhat, but it's mostly about living your own truth.

Beautiful
|
Nov 07, 2020

Banging on the piano while my grandmother was watching me. I'd run up to her and ask: 'How was that, Grandma?' And she'd say, 'That was beautiful, baby!' And I'd run back to the piano and play some more. I'm sure that's why I still play today, because I was encouraged from such a young age, 2 or 3.

Humor
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think fans are going to get everything you'd expect from 'The Office', from awkwardness, to a lot of humor and heart.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a band leader and substitute teacher, and then one day they bring me into a music class, and I'm like, 'Wait a minute, I know this stuff.' And the principal is like, 'Just throw the video in and call it a day,' and I'm like, 'That's not good enough. I want these kids to know what it's like to have a gig and all that kind of stuff.'

Fish
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do - I do enjoy a good rom-com here and there. Would 'A Fish Called Wanda' be a rom-com?

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a performer. I do comedy and music, and I blend them together. My band is 'Nasty Delicious!'.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm starring in the 'New Adventures of Voltron'. I play Voltron.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

Doing voiceover is so much fun because you can play with the lines as much as you want. You can put a whole bunch of energy into it, jump up and down, whatever you got to do.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

That's when I'm at my rawest. When I'm performing with the band. It's just like the groove is going, whether we're fast or slow, I can just transport myself.

Moment
|
Nov 07, 2020

In acting, you get to that place where it's serene, where you just feel it. I'm glad to be doing the drama because you can kind of take your time more and let a moment live more.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

Music is in everything I do.

Cool
|
Nov 07, 2020

I went to the Heidelburg Castle, a 1200-year-old castle, looked around. It was pretty awesome, but you know, they've got a coffee shop in there, and they have some sections closed off. I wanted to see the part where they tortured people, but it was cool, though.

Office
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's good to do something different than the subtleties of 'The Office' all the time.

Political
|
Nov 07, 2020

A bunch of comedians have gotten in 'trouble' for sharing their views. When an actor or an artist or might come out saying something political or whatever, then it becomes about that view.

Character
|
Nov 07, 2020

Even in comedy, you have to be real. It's all about being real. It's how real can you be? That's the challenge. How much are you willing to take on for your character?

Paint
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nick Swardson used to have birthday paint parties. They were phenomenal.

Parent
|
Nov 07, 2020

You've got to talk to your kids as both a parent and a friend.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I understand the importance of mentorship for young people, even outside their parents. That's more important now than ever. You gotta have that support system everywhere you can.

Other
|
Nov 07, 2020

That's the most gratifying thing in the world, helping each other.

Made
|
Nov 07, 2020

We even did a re-imagining of 'Spider-Man' that James Franco starred in that didn't make it into 'This Is The End'. That didn't make the final cut, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made the DVD.

Different Genres
|
Nov 07, 2020

You know Seth and Evan, they were lead writers for 'Pineapple Express', and they are great at mixing things up. Taking different genres and mish-mashing them up to create something dynamically new. They'll throw comedy at you, but with a dash of horror and fright that is supposed to make you shocked and scared.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I, and the audience, would enjoy a kissing scene with me and Rihanna. That would've been cool for me to see, rehearse, practice, and all that. Me and Rihanna.

Funny
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's funny to see how people react to the project, to read their thoughts, and I wonder aloud, 'Did they even watch the movie? Did they even get it?' I know we, myself and the entire cast, put a lot of heart, love and humor into 'Meet the Peeples'. I'm very proud of that film and what we were able to accomplish.

Office
|
Nov 07, 2020

Anything to do with 'The Office' I would revisit.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have a phrase I say: 'What the damn?' It's my favorite. It just came to me one day.

Hug
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's a farmers market. You can get whatever - peaches, a sandwich. There might be a little band there. I'd sit in with the band. Yeah, that's what I would do. Sit in with the band at the farmers market. Sing a couple of songs, eat a peach, and hug people.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

My father tried to discourage me from going into comedy, mainly because he felt like it wasn't promising. It was pie in the sky.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

My parents did the whole good-cop/bad-cop thing - Dad was the bad cop, and Mom was the good cop. I remember my father saying, 'I'm his father, not his friend.' That kind of stuck with me.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Look at the laws: you can't spank a kid without getting in trouble. That kept me in line!

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being on 'The Office' prepared me for drama. Comedy got me ready, but once you get down to it, they're two sides of the same thing. I mean, the delivery has to be different - in drama, there's more time to breathe, and comedy's all about hitting the joke.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never wanted to do just one thing. There's even other things in comedy that I want to do. For me, it's always been that I have to have the vision first.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I got a call from my manager saying, 'Howie Mandel wants to talk to you.' And I'm a comic - big fan of all he's done. He was pitching me 'Caraoke Showdown', and I was just excited about it.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have done my share of karaoke. There is a karaoke place right around the corner from me, and I have been there maybe 800 of 1,000 days I've been in L.A. A lot of songs I know now because of that place. I dig karaoke and have fun with it.

Nov 07, 2020

I love the deadpan. It's such a strong go-to. It lets the audience make their own decisions about what you're thinking.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's something about seeing somebody who thinks they're great and is so wrapped up in their moves, voice, and performance that makes it so wonderfully charming that you can't take your eyes off. That's why we all remember William Hung from those first years of 'American Idol. It's the William Hung effect.

Beautiful Thing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've seen some beyond-amazing performers do karaoke who should be on stage somewhere, and I've seen people who you rather didn't enter the bar. That's the beautiful thing about it; it's for everybody.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

The thing that makes you a good 'Caraoke Showdown' singer is you gotta have some knowledge of these songs. You gotta be ready to attack. You gotta shut your brain off and just go.

Crowd
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can bring a crowd down. There should be a contest for that.

End
|
Nov 07, 2020

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love hip-hop, but hip-hop is a way of life.

Hearing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I so respect Sundance. I'd been hearing about it for years.

Mother
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I said something mean when I was little, and my mother snapped on me. I was just like, 'I'm sorry!' I could relate. If I had cursed out my dad, I probably would be just waking up.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've had some good moments at karaoke. Back in the day, oh my gosh... before, I was more in the public eye. Nowadays, I don't do it as much because if you do, it's going to be on the Internet.

Easy
|
Nov 07, 2020

Coming up with comedy is hard, man. Those bits aren't easy to think of!

Everybody

Nov 07, 2020
