Rob Corddry

I've learned over the years to like not be

Right.

Right.

I wish I knew.

I wish I knew what that thing was, because there is a great power in no.

You know, and really there's no power as an actor.

And it's your only power is to be able to say no.

But we're just brought up to like,

always be saying yes and always just do whatever they give you and whatever they want you which is what you've dreamt of people wanting you to do their thing and to pay you and and so it is a hard adjustment when you can when you realize that like some things i just shouldn't do you know uh and some things it's better off for everybody if i don't do it you know um because i will watch

the movie, say, afterwards, like it was 40-year-old Virgin.

I had a great audition for that, right?

And I was like, I'm not going to get this.

Which role, which part?

It was for Jane Lynch's part, Steve Carell's boss.

The manager.

Like the best buy, right?

Yes.

And I was like, I thought I had a good audition, and I was like, I'm not going to get this.

And I couldn't really put my finger on why, but sure enough, I did not get it.

And, uh, and Jane Lynch got it.
