There are many actors who have inspired me: Spencer Tracy for his incredible elegance and, of course, Cary Grant. But, there's also an Italian actor I admire a great deal: Alberto Sordi.
I've known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was 'Along Came Polly.'
I started off first doing a TV series called 'Boston Common.' That was my first big job, and then I went on to do another half hour comedy show, and that was with Tom Arnold, called 'The Tom Show.'
I had seen Cheers twice, I think. Ted [Danson] had so much hair in his widow's peak that I remember thinking, "That dude looks like Eddie Munster."
I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.
Armando Iannucci is one of my heroes. As I was growing up, he was probably the most influential comic voice that I had.
He's a very funny and very nice man. When you read the script, you want to stick with it. But when you're with Eddie Murphy you've got to improvise. He's always making jokes and making me crack up when the camera's on.
Jason Alexander is a committed actor, he went from working on a show about nothing to actually doing nothing.
Not long after 'The Pacific,' I began shooting the comedy 'Larry Crowne,' which was also with Tom Hanks, who also directed and plays the title character.
Perhaps I've been perceived more as a romantic comedy actor, but overall, I enjoy acting in any shape or form.
Will Ferrell is a dangerous man. If he thinks you're in his way in show business, he will crack your head open. He's the Jeff Gillooly of comedy.
I remember when I did 'Click' and I'd see Adam Sandler's fan base. He's the guy that people feel that he's their best friend, so he's walking down the street and people sort of high five him and want to tell him a joke or invite him to come home and have a sandwich with them.
I wanted to be the female Jim Carrey.
Hugh Grant is the main man. He's the number one romantic comedy man in the world.
Theres always next year, ... except, you know, for Ray Romano.
Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.
I was obsessed with Jim Carrey growing up. It's why I wanted to become an actor.
It's a strange old thing, but I think an awful lot of 'Inbetweeners' fans still don't realise I'm a stand-up.
Steve Carell, we’ve been nodding at each other for years now.
My first year on 'SNL', I made $90,000 dollars.
Nick Offerman is my hero. He just cracks me up. He's so funny, but he's a true actor, too - he's bringing so much when he's onscreen.
Adam Sandler is a remarkable movie brand.
I saw Danny Kaye in a movie, and he was doing voices and faces on that big, big screen and making whole audiences laugh. It was just an instant hookup.
I'm a huge fan of Adam Sandler and used to have Adam Sandler nights when I was younger. And he's so funny on the set.
I'm not trying to be an action star, and I'm not trying to be a romantic-comedy guy.
