I was probably 34 when I got my first on-camera acting job, and it was through a friend of mine, who was working as a writer on the show, and I've never been more frightened in my life.

More quotes by Kurt Fuller
I also remember that Snoop Dogg visited the set in New York, with a joint in his mouth that looked like a cigar. There's your anger management. I thought, Isn't he going to get arrested? It was like he lived on another planet. God bless him, he was very nice. Who wouldn't be nice when you're that stoned?

When real actors are approaching their work, we could be on a little stage somewhere, doing community theater. It's all the same. They're just trying to make the scene work. They're just trying to do the best they can and figure it out.
Kurt Fuller
I started out old, but I have to say that I've been very lucky to work consistently since I started. I've really never been out of work.
Kurt Fuller
Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.
Kurt Fuller
To be an actor, a lot of times it's a strange combination of high confidence and low self-esteem. Which is a weird combination to have, but I think it's sort of very common among actors.
Kurt Fuller
I didn't watch the Emmys because - well, for one, I have been to awards shows, and I understand how it works. For another, sour grapes. Actually, that's probably number one.
Kurt Fuller
I had great affection for Dana Carvey, and I think we all thought, Dana's the guy. There's the comic genius.
Kurt Fuller
I grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up.
Kurt Fuller
Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.
Kurt Fuller
I just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.
Kurt Fuller
You don't go to Berkeley to become an actor. In fact, I don't think you go to any school to become an actor. You've just sort of got to go out there and act.
Kurt Fuller
There are some things you can't unsee, and there are some movies you can't get off IMDB no matter how hard you try.
Kurt Fuller
I was selling real estate at the time, in Pacific Palisades, California, so imagine that: getting a note and a bottle of champagne from Jack Nicholson when I'd barely made a dime as an actor. It really kept me going.
Kurt Fuller
I just don't feel like - I've never felt like - part of the entertainment industry. I still just feel like I'm trying to work my way in. And that's weird.
Kurt Fuller
I am not a member of the chamber of commerce for show business, believe me, but there are some really good people in the business, and [Tom] Hanks has this everyman decency onscreen, but he actually is that guy.
Kurt Fuller
I guess show business is a lot like baseball: Wait until next year! You just never know. Some of the shittiest shows I've ever seen run forever, and some of the best things never get a chance.
Kurt Fuller
If I had not lived the life I had lived and did not have the wife I have and the children I have, I would never know how to play that role [of Dr. Bedsloe], and I wouldn't have any of those qualities. It's a real example of how it is true that the camera catches everything. Even the stuff you're trying to hide.
Kurt Fuller
I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.
Kurt Fuller
I was lucky enough to be a type. Sort of a bad-guy type at the time, because I was tall and I had dark eyes. A lot of times, you don't have to be good you just have to be the right type.
Kurt Fuller
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
