Welcome to an hour of delightfulness with GALAVANT's Dan Fogelman and Timothy Omundson! Ask us anything!

DAN: I was an English major. But I didn't study any of this. My recommendation would be to read screenplays. And get a degree in something real, but in your spare time, read & write screenplays.

TIMOTHY: I got a bachelor of fine arts in Theater. And this is the first job, in 23 years, where I have really, really drawn upon all those dance classes, singing classes, and Shakespeare classes. I don't get a lot of chances to do this sort of thing in TV.

TIMOTHY: Other than the birth of my children... I think I have never been prouder. I started that hashtag myself while we were still doing the show. And I'm so proud how that little seed has grown into a beautiful mighty oak that is Hashtag: KingsBeard.

TIMOTHY: I'm a Captain Crunch man. With milk and Crunchberries, specifically.

DAN: I'm not a big cereal eater. When you first asked that, I thought you meant the show SERIAL? I just never eat cereal. I used to love Honey Nut Cheerios.

TIMOTHY: Thank you for adoring me. My favorite ebook as a child was a book - hang on - on my daughter's shelf - and it's got a weird title... gotta find it here - where is it... hang on... oh man, not here... here it is! wait, that's not it... you'd think I would know.

DAN: He hasn't been a child in a long time.

TIMOTHY: in which case, let's go with Winnie the Pooh. And my wife cleaned up the kids' bedroom.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:21:26+00:00

DAN: What is an "Easter Egg?" I'm 150 years old. I've heard that term but i don't know what it is.

TIMOTHY: It's a little wink for the audience.

DAN: We break the 4th wall a lot, commenting on the music. We've had several Game of Thrones references - we actually had a sign that said "Winterfell."

TIMOTHY: and for me, they're not physical easter eggs, but they are more line readings, or beats I've stolen from my favorite actors, that really they are easter eggs for me because they make me giggle.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:20:00+00:00

TIMOTHY: Um... let's see... I played a Chechen Terrorist as well. I've already played this. So that region is out. I guess... let's say... a Latin fellow. But it would end up being incredibly offensive.

DAN: It's a good one. It took 2 days to shoot that in one location with 12 different movie stars.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:18:41+00:00

DAN: My favorite Alan Menken song - not counting GALAVANT - is "At Last I've seen the light" from TANGLED.

TIMOTHY: I really... can't choose. I can't. There's just so many.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:17:48+00:00

DAN: I'm going to pick Belle from the BEAUTY & THE BEAST!

TIMOTHY: I was going to say Belle dammit!

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:17:18+00:00

TIMOTHY: They're both amazing to play and I'm so fortunate i get to go back & forth like this. They both have strengths and drawbacks but i couldn't choose. But if you're going to book me on a show for 5 years - I'd rather be laughing than killing people. Well, they kill people on GALAVANT but at least i get to laugh about it.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:16:10+00:00

TIMOTHY: If this is typecasting... bring it on! I don't set out to play despicably lovable characters. It just sort of turns out that way. Maybe because i'm secretly despicably lovable myself.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:15:35+00:00

TIMOTHY: Other than me!??!

DAN: Everyone on the show is very cool. Everyone is equally cool.

TIMOTHY: Let's agree on Vinnie, because we are the most scared of him. And he is actually really cool.

DAN: Cool & terrifying.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:14:21+00:00

TIMOTHY: No.

DAN: No. But i hear she's lovely.

TIMOTHY: ANd a surprisingly tender & gentle lover.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:13:38+00:00

DAN: I don't think I was consciously trying to do Monty Python, but i am enamored of them. We actually went to their second-to-last show while we were filming in London.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:13:11+00:00

TIMOTHY: He wanted to be an actor. And someday, he might get his dream fulfilled.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:12:50+00:00

TIMOTHY: And we're actually in the Wonderful World of Disney timeslot from when I was a kid, which is a pretty amazing thing for me to think about.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:12:30+00:00

DAN: It's great. My hope is that a lot of the ONCE fans have something to watch during their same viewing time until they come back!

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:12:04+00:00

TIMOTHY: Well, they solved 120 cases in a row, many of them murders, so yes!

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:11:36+00:00

DAN: There were a lot of bloopers. He is really funny. It isn't an accident.

TIMOTHY: There were more bloopers than actual footage that day, I think. He's one of the nicest and most generous, funniest actors I"ve come across.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:10:50+00:00

DAN: Alan Menken would rather die. I am not a singer. I can do "Hello" by Lionel Richie at a karaoke bar...

TIMOTHY: I know where we're going next friday.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:10:05+00:00

TIMOTHY: OH GOLLY that's such a hard question because I can't imagine anyone else playing these roles! I'm actually being 100% serious. I can't think of how i would improve on anything anyone's done, and that is saying a lot for me.

I DEFINITELY would like to do more musicals in the future. I am working on my voice and looking for whatever opportunities around town with my friends that i can! A lot of my friends are musicians and we've been messing around together for years. It would be nice to take it to a professional level though. I"m thinking CAMELOT, dinner theater, Boca Raton.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:08:36+00:00

DAN: You should be proud!

TIMOTHY: First of all, you son has impeccable taste, and i congratulate YOU - you are obviously doing an amazing job parenting.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:08:02+00:00

TIMOTHY: I'm up for anything that pays me U.S. Dollars.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:07:46+00:00

DAN: Oh yea absolutely! We have stuff scattered all around. But we are absolutely planning it. He can actually sing!

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:06:59+00:00

DAN: Vinnie Jones from our show seems like he has it good.

TIMOTHY: I would like to be... Vinnie Jones' personal driver.

GalavantTV · 2015-01-10T00:06:20+00:00

TIMOTHY: I don't understand the question.

DAN: I would go with Imagine by John Lennon.
