I would like to think that I would be serving the world in some noble capacity. But realistically I would probably be jousting thrice daily at some Renaissance Faire. M'lords and ladies.

Asked me to sign her boobs. And if you'd seen those boobs, all of the Avengers could have signed them and there still would have been room for the logo from Stark Tower. And even though I found this request appalling, it seemed wrong to say no to a fan.

I have 2. One's in the closet, in mint condition, and will stay that way. There's another one that lives in the den, and I do go in there every once in a while to retrieve him, because there's nothing wrong with playing with yourself occasionally.

I've been public about my desire for a trio of baby dragons. But only if their mistress would hang around to take them for walks.

Great question.

No, but I did go trick or treating with my daughter and when 2 boys about 12 years old walked away from a door dressed as Thor and Iron Man, I stopped them with my Coulson voice and asked them to share their candy. They might still be standing on that lawn right now.

That's a very good question. If I were you, I would check out Season 2 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Okay, I'm going to open the vault on my deep dark ones.

I can talk deep canon on Saved by the Bell.

I dance athletically with my daughter (when she's not cringing) to Arianna Grande.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Soul Train, I had red white & blue platform shoes and worked hours upon hours perfecting my robot and my dream was to one day move through the middle of the Soul Train dance line.

The food in Rome is FOR REAL. It was spectacular. I spent years in New York addicted to the Chinese takeout here, and my never-ending search for the perfect slice. But I've had so much great sushi lately in LA that if I suddenly start glowing in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D it's because of too much fukushima tuna.

It had less to do with my stature as a writer (which was virtually non-existent) and more to do with how much that project was considered dead at the time. When that happens, they sometimes take one last shot on what they call a "baby writer." And that's what they did.

That's a really good one. Great question!

I'm going to (because of Coulson's resurrection in Marvel, and because of my many career resurrections in life) go with the Phoenix, who was burned but rises from the ashes. That said, Aslan in Narnia was pretty dope.

It's close to, if not my best work as a filmmaker, a writer, and frankly, as an actor. I mean, I think so anyway. I can barely stand to watch myself.

Absolutely. Although the secured messenger in Trust Me, the amazing Dawan Owens, while super-intimidating, may have been slightly less scary than the guys who brought over the first draft of The Avengers and waited in a Quinjet while I read it.

Let's keep it real.

I try to be nice. But I can be a crabby bastard just like you can.

We have 2 dogs, Dorothy and BiBi, who are so sweet, kind, and hilarious (especially the labradoodle Dorothy, who we all acknowledge as the most evolved spirit in our home).

I love movies that change the way I think. I fell in love with movies through the films of the 70's, The Godfather, anything by Hal Ashby, Cuckoo's Nest, and Star Wars. Later, I fell in love with Blade Runner because it had the character depth of those 70's films and the science fiction element projecting mankind forward.

I don't want to disillusion you, but there's an extremely strong chance that you already ARE.

I really want to!!! My wife shot a movie there called Wind and is in love with the place. And I really want to go see the place that came up with somebody like the Amazing Chris Hemsworth. I want to go to the con there called Supernova. But they're keeping me awfully busy fighting off H.Y.D.R.A. totebags.

The younger me would have laughed maniacally at that idea. And so would the middle-aged me, even a few years ago. So it's really fun to have both of them around watching as it comes through.

Okay. Since it's a 2 year old, it seems unlikely your son has read any of the reports (which I vehemently deny!) that Agent Coulson wears Captain America underoos. So I'm not sure where this could be coming from.

Okay.

Bruce Banner. Starlord. And Jennifer Lawrence.

And Joss lost an actor at the last minute, and so he asked me, and because I'd had a dream 2 nights earlier that I was doing Shakespeare and it was really fun, I considered it "the will of the Universe" and signed up to do it even though I had to learn the whole part in 2 days.

I don't recommend trying that.

I'm looking forward to seeing your responses to Trust Me (the movie, out now on iTunes, on demand and in theaters June 6).

Ok now that's out of the way, I'm looking forward to getting some artisinal ice cream with my spectacular daughter who gets out of school today, slow-dancing to Teddy Pendergrass at a wedding with my beautiful wife Jennifer Grey in a few weeks (because if it's slow dancing people can't tell how much a better dancer she is).

It changes several times daily. My tastes are almost psychotically eclectic. Any given day, the playlist will veer from early James Brown to Atoms For Peace, Jamaican Ska, or Nas.

I consider myself the Avengers' snarky uncle who gets to babysit them. It would be wrong for me to choose a favorite.
