That happened literally years later.

It was a complete surprise to me.

It hadn't been an ambition of mine.

And I'd just been an enormous fan of Dave, and so I had great respect for what he had built.

But

When they called and said, okay, how about you?

I was shocked.

Oh, I don't know.

Go be an actor, I guess.

Yeah, because I'm an actor.

And that's how I started and that's what I was doing for 10 years.

I was acting.

Well, yeah.

I mean, you have to give that some thought.

But I also knew that if someone wants to hire me or if I can get my own production company together or create my own project, you can act anytime you want.

This opportunity will never come again.

And I love a live audience.

And I love the grind of every day.

And I love the people I work with.

And it gave me all the things that I loved.
