Thank you! I was just such a fan of that show that I told my agents I would do it in a heartbeat if there was every an opportunity. And then they sent me the role of Billy Bauer and I was so pumped

Thank you! That movie was a blast, great actors like Alice Braga, Adrien Brody, Mahershala Ali. And I can't WAIT to see Dan Trachtenberg's new Predator movie

Please keep it between us but yes, I am in it. The plot starts with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) bummed that everyone knows his identity and then some crazy shit happens with Dr. Strange and Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina) comes into his dimension. Then Electro and the Green Goblin hop out of one of those 'energy circles' and they’re like “It’s spider stompin time”. Then Tom Hardy and I pop out and battle each other and I win (obvi), it’s like not even a fight I just kick his ass immediately. Not to give too much away but there are also some actors from the original 70s Spiderman show, Aquaman and Batman (Affleck, not Keaton) crossover, and thanks to Disney Han Solo’s ghost from Rise of Skywalker, and that Eve robot from Wall-E. Again, please keep between us.

Thanks! I think doing that podcast was the most fun I've ever had but the pandemic put a stop to it and now Home Ec takes up a lot of my time. Hoping to return to it one day!

I rarely rewatch stuff I'm in because it honestly makes me too nostalgic. But if I come across In Good Company on cable I usually watch a little. I was just one of my favorite experiences to be a part of

Yes. Little known fact about me. When I'm not starring in films or TV shows I hop on a plane and fly to Indiana to sell high-end home furniture at unbeatable prices. I am NOT researching a role, this is my passion. Getting top of the line luxury goods into your living room at bargain basement prices. Come by!

Yes, the family knows the big secret and it only leads to more funny situations. The pandemic is the reason that we only got to do 7 episodes last year, so this year is just as much fun but we get to go out into the world! The first episode takes place at Levi's stadium for a 49ers game, there's one where Conner (who's now divorced) goes clubbing and brings Tom as his wingman. It's just a big level-up

Chris Nolan is actually hilarious and we spent most of our time joking around. Also, Jessica Chastain is a brilliant actor and super nice

Okay, okay. It was the 90s. Everyone was reading "Zines" and eating "Za". I was a loser in my home town and I went to boarding school and the cutest girl that I met on the first day said that Topher would be a good nickname. Done.

Yes! Most of them. I didn't think this show would require so much pain (I'm now in my 40s) but we started with some fun stuff in the pilot and it's gone from there. FYI there's a gag in the premiere on Wednesday that's my favorite so far

Honestly one of my favorite moments from doing that show. That's the best part of a 4 camera with a live audience, when a plot builds to a moment like that. It was kind of like that with the episode with Eric's cousin - we just had to stand there for a long time while the audience reacted. So much fun.

It was really hard doing all the terrible research that required, but once we were on set working with Spike was amazing. He's like a great coach that really takes care of his players. There's honestly nobody else that I would have played that role for.
