Malin Akerman

But I don't know.

I do not have training as a comedic actor.

I think...

Growing up and my mother went through bouts of depression when I was young.

And so I think trying to get her to laugh and be silly and be a clown was sort of my role in the family.

Same with us.

And having...

Being the clowns of the family?

Yeah.

And I just think that was like, I was happy to embarrass myself and had no reservations.

And I think that just helped out with the comedy.

But I'll tell you this much that when, so the comeback is comedy, but it also was so true to life.

Like, it's like, here, play this character who adores this other character who they've been watching their whole lives.

I'm like, well, it's true to life.

I mean, I'm watching...

Lisa Kudrow on Friends.

So that's not far from reality.

So that wasn't a huge undertaking.

But then when I went in and did the next role that I got was the Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller.

And that audition process was wild because then all of a sudden it was like, oh, you're in the comedy world.
