Here's the clip.

That's a great scene.

I love that scene.

It's a great scene.

Was that supposed to be a parody of you?

Is that how you feel that you're a little bit of a fraud?

I want to talk with you about working with Stephen Sondheim and being like originating a role, originating a Stephen Sondheim role.

Wow.

Unfortunately, it was a show that never quite caught on and went through several iterations and even several titles.

So you were in Bounce as Addison Meisner, one of two brothers who was a Boca Raton that they helped build.

You originated a role, and before we talk about what it was like to work with Sondheim on a Sondheim musical, I want to play a song from it, and it's called Get Out of My Life.

And I chose this because it's a good song, and you're really great in it.

This song is part singing and part really acting.

Thank you.

Because you're angry with this.

And it really shows you off.

There's a song by Stephen Sondheim from his musical Bounce with my guest, Richard Kind.

So that was my guest Richard Kind singing Get Out of My Life from the original cast recording of the Stephen Sondheim musical Bounce.

So you worked directly with Sondheim on this, right?

I did, yeah.
