So then 1999 comes around and everything changes for you.
Obviously, the script has become a phenomenon.

I think one commonality between all of us who got famous in the 90s or the 2000s is that at some point we all found ourselves in completely insane situations as new celebrities, whether it's Shaquille O'Neal deciding to hold me over his head or Ryder being on the Oprah Winfrey show talking about fan mail or Will writing Tower of Terror with Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Is there any insane situation that you can specifically remember yourself being in after American Pie came out that you'd like to share with us?

I mean, here you are, a daytime Emmy nominated actor, a seasoned Broadway actor and a Pulitzer Prize finalist play.
