Lets GOOOOOOOOOO!

No. Nobody got a delicious taste. But it was only one take (obi) Had to replace the entire carpet in the front of the office before the next day to get rid of the stains.

Least like. Me.

Most like. Probably John/ Jim.

Though for most similar and least similar I would indeed go with Creed.

I don't type well enough for a full joke. But just tell people I told you the one about "Dirty Johnny having sex with his grandma" and laugh real loud and they will think you are cool.

Well FOR me... my scene with Holly when she counts the coins in my hand and holds up the button and tells me "This is a button." Something about the look on her face and voice. There is still a smile on my face in the take they used.

For Everyone else- the one that everyone always talks about was Kevin sitting on Santa's (Michael's) lap.

I can always tell by the look in their eyes. They are looking at me- but really only thinking in their head "I can't believe this is the voice coming out of this guy." I have restarted meetings because it was clear to me people were NOT hearing the content of what I was saying.

Thanks. I liked that one too. OR the moment Kevin finds a girl he likes and might like him back (Lynn.)

One I just watched. When Michael drives across the country to move Holly to her new home, thinking they will commute every weekend to stay together. And then- after the full day. He leaves. Hugs her and leaves. The little things that show so much.

Carefully

Favorite Kevin moment- again something to do with the storyline with Holly. And also the turtle moment is so incredibly out there I loved it.

Don;t remember how many takes for that. BUT ONE FREAKING TAKE FOR THE CHILI. AND ALSO ONE FREAKING TAKE SHATTERING THE VENDING MACHINE WITH A CHAIR DURING THE FIRE. Proud of that if you can't tell.

Get it Fucking TOGETHER, man.

That's not a question. The people got fooled cause of the question mark. BUT THERE"S NO QUESTION HERE!!!!! Also: joke not at all funny.

varied by episode. Everything was written and had to be approved (It was NBC after all.) But also every scene was then messed with/improv- ed. Hah! Improv-ed is IMPROVED. Side note. Sorry.

Depended on the episode how much improv was in.

1) The best ever. (Like I'm gonna say anything else.) But truly the best professional experience of my life.

2) Having a deep bench full of talented people is way better than just having a star. (See: Dodgers.) My first Dodgers reference of the freaking day!!!!

yes. and no. Had a dinner later that night at a fancy restaurant and all I could smell was chili. Even after a good shower and scrub.

The Office. Hands down.

re: chili recipe. Suck it no way.

re: reunion. I'm in if it happens.

re: spinoff. Call NBC. I am easy to negotiate with.

It was a process. As kevin had more and more to say- I discovered exactly what his voice was.

Yes. A few. The "Kevin Malone" name plate is on my desk at home. And I still have the M & M jar on my desk as well.

eeeesh. Tough.
Shadow Creek in Vegas is unbelievable.
Pebble Beach- obi.
Edgewood in Tahoe has personal sentimentality.

I really want to play Augusta. Invite?

First- you misspelled his name. And I'm gonna tell him.

Second- He is an amazing man. Gifted, obviously. But incredibly loving and GOOD as well. It was incredibly difficult when his time was over on The Office- but I think we all were f-grateful for the 7 years we got to all work together.

obviously. Even little-er now.

She easily fools you, Little One.

At Marshall Faulk's tournament (So no gimmies/ everything putted out.) I shot 74. (Par 71.)

Amazing. Obviously incredible cast to work with. Especially me.

I'd love to. Haven't put the time in on that front because I've been focusing on other things- but I love it.

Could I do any fucking worse?

I don't really like doing it at all. I am currently going back right now and re-watching The Office for the first time since the episodes aired originally. And that's been fun to re-live so many of those moments. But unless I am going back to work more/ shoot more episodes of something- I often never watch stuff I have done. I know how good it was.

I love sports. Love. Love. Has been incredibly fun for me to be a part of ALL or NOTHING with the Rams this season and to do a podcast with the incredible Dave Dameshek. Anything having to do with sports I will almost always say yes. Cause whats better than being able to do something you love. As for future- we will see.

yes.

WHAT DOES A BEAN MEAN?!?

I'd love to. Especially if the Dodgers, Lakers, or Packers are playing there.

Don;t even BRING that question up in here.

12.

Angela would play dirty. But I would still take her down. And Oscar?!? Come on now.

Sounds dumb- but I went to school for it. Some people learned math and science and stuff... I learned how to pretend to be someone else.

genius writers. I couldn't possible have come up with something that strangely stupid and yet made sense character wise.

It is what it is. And I am a fan of The Office as well. So I get it.

Shek is incredible. Very smart. Great at what he does. But don't tell him I said that.

See the world? As in SEA WORLD?

Aaron Rodgers.

that secret dies with me

the pool episode at (supposedly) Spader's pool. LOOOOOONG LOOOOOONG days in that pool.

Also- The Fire episode. It was Really really hot outside in LA in August. And we were in the parking lot almost all week.

Thank you very much.

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!????!!?!?!?!?!?

Best organization in all of sports. Owned by the fans. Iconic stadium. Historic team....

Wait what was your question?

Kinda answered above. re: Improv. But thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I could;t keep a secret like that in real life.

My sports skillz. Beating Hall of Fame athletes in Golf.

The people. And being apart of one of the all time greats.

Thanks!

Wow. Love the reference.

Fun tidbit. I was given a gift from the casting director at the end of the show- it was the original piece of paper from the casting session which had the 3 names the producers were considering for Kevin. Eric Stonestreet. Jorge Garcia and me. Either of those guys would have been great.

above!

Holy Fuck what an absolute shitty question!

No everyone was nice.

I don't mind. At all. But if you ever see me in a crowded place- I would prefer you not YELL "Kevin! From the OFFICE". I am wearing a hat and sunglasses for a reason.

I don;t mind it - but I also am not one who loves or needs attention constantly.

We still do meet up. Not as much as a group anymore but occasionally there will be an important event that a bunch of us attend.

Dodger Stadium or Lambeau Field. Or Tuscany.

TE for the Green Bay Packers.

Truth?

Not much of one. Craig Robinson and Ed Helms are true musicians. I am a pretender.

Dammit thats hard and trying to answer a lot of questions!!!!

Changing the rules-
The Godfather
The Office Complete Collection
Fargo/ Shawshank Redemption/ Wonderful Life/ Goodfellas

I FREAKING LOVE THE LUCKY BEAVER!!!!!

I'll be in next year. At least once. If you are there- come say hi!

2 questions for you:
Did u freak out at all IN my burger? Cause that would be weird.
And 2) You could have bought my food for me, no?

stats please?

Bryson DeChambeau (SMU GUY!)

I'm a Rodgers guy.

Packers/ Pats finally.

me. Obvi.

yes.

10 years.

Nothing at all.

Love hockey as well.

trees I think?

Great questions. I think that anything that moves in a circle in the bathroom is generally a bad idea.

Yes I will absolutely be your mentor.

Advice- joking aside- is watch/ read/ know as much as you can. Watch TV. Watch movies. Know genres and how shows are being produced. Quick example: imagine going in to read for the Office and all you knew was Big Bang Theory. Knowledge in this business is power.
