1. I am a cereal addict. My favorite is Golden Grahams mixed with Cheerios.

4. I’ve never broken a bone.

5. My first concert was Guns N’ Roses at the Hartford Civic Center [in Connecticut].

6. My single biggest honor was getting to do a voice on The Simpsons [in 2008].

8. My hobby is editing [film].

10. I went to boarding school for five years.

11. Each year, my wife [Ashley Hinshaw] and I host the annual CASA gala to support youth in the Los Angeles foster system.

12. I collect fake movie posters that are in [real] movies, like Jaws 19 from Back to the Future Part II. I’m currently hunting for Scorcher VI from Tropic Thunder.

13. Growing up, Chloë Sevigny was my babysitter.

14. Before I had kids, I had a Monopoly group, the way some guys have a poker group.

15. I got to be part of casting Home Economics, so I am fanning out on set every day.

16. I’ve only done one professional play, Lonely, I’m Not by Paul Weitz. It taught me more about acting than anything else I’ve done.

18. I used quarantine to binge Breaking Bad.

19. I was freaked out to do Irresistible [in 2020] because Steve Carell was starring in it [and] Jon Stewart was directing [it]. My all-time favorite show remains The Daily Show when they were on it.

20. In [2014’s] Interstellar, Christopher Nolan didn’t tell me that Jessica Chastain was going to kiss me in the last scene. My reaction is the one they used in the movie.

21. I’m on a group text with the cast of That ’70s Show.

22. I am the world’s worst cook. Fortunately, my wife is amazing at it.

23. As a teen, I got a job at Suncoast Motion Picture Company because I thought I could watch movies all summer. They only [played] one the whole time… and sadly [it] was Space Jam.

24. I [took] ballroom dancing classes with Julia Roberts for [2003’s] Mona Lisa Smile. Her greatest acting challenge to date was [pretending] like it didn’t hurt when I stepped on her toes.

25. I dropped out of college to take my first acting role.
