It's never good to just imitate somebody. That never works, because then you're not filling it with anything.

Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
Kurt Fuller
Image
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.

Image
Without being good enough, I started figuring out how to make my way through the minefield of a script, which is what it was to me at the time, and the rest is semi-history.

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.

Image
I had great affection for Dana Carvey, and I think we all thought, Dana's the guy. There's the comic genius.

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?

Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.
Kurt Fuller
Image
I just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.

When you're working, nobody's a star. We're all just actors trying to figure it out.

I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.

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.

I don't know: Why aren't people fascinated by air traffic controllers?

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
Image
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
Kurt Fuller
Image
I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. And when I started having kids, that doesn't work with kids. Kids don't understand sarcasm, and they certainly don't understand my humor.

Image
Paul Michael Glaser was very nice to me, and I was again told, Do less and less and less and less. And I still was bad! I can't believe I kept getting hired after some of these things I did! It's baffling to me. I'll go back and look at it, and I can't even watch it [Running man film].

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.

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.

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.

Playing Destroyo, who was sort of a 'Silence Of The Lambs' type character, I'd say I was wearing about 50 pounds of rubber and foam rubber and makeup. But I had no idea who The Tick was. I'm not a big graphic-novel guy. I don't even know if 'The Tick' was a graphic novel!
