Norman Lear was the first person that got me.

I mean, I was playing Jax with his daughter.

Norman says to my dad, you know, this kid is really funny.

My dad said, well, that kid, that kid, he's sullen.

He sits quiet.

He doesn't, you know, he's not funny.

He didn't think I was anyway.

When you first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction to it?

Well, horror.

Absolute horror.

And I unfortunately saw the video of it, and it's...

It's beyond belief what happened to him, and that should never happen to anybody.

I don't care what your political beliefs are.

That's not acceptable.

That's not a solution to solving problems.

And I felt like what his wife said at the service at the memorial they had was exactly right.

And totally, I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but I...

I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in doing to others, and I believe in forgiveness.

And what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know, she forgave his assassin.

And I think that that is admirable.
