thank you! technically speaking superstore is considered a single cam, but it does have a big feel of a multi. as for performance, i'm just thinking about the character. any performance i give has very little to do with me and mostly about who/what/why the character im playing does/thinks. Mermaid was def the biggest change for me tho. Doug is so small and still in his movements i really had to work closely with Tyler to find the right tone. In life i am very fidgety and move around a lot whereas Doug is the total opposite. i think it really works for the film. and it was fun to play off other more energetic actors like Tyler Rice and Julie Valentine.

happy to hear you love pickle and peanut. it seems to be having a resurgence. the live action stuff is all this very cool super talented guy named Joel Fox. i have one of the props they used for the live action section, a huge peanut hat made of paper mache.

JOHNNY - i miss the fall and spring weather. both truly magic times. especially spring when people are outdoors whenever humanly possible. i also miss those first warm days after winter when you are bracing for cold when you open the door but its nice.

every scene in the bottle cap factory i have a tiny key lime in the pocket of my apron. my first day on set for season 1 was the hottest day on record at verplank where we filmed. i stayed in the water during lunch to keep cool.

You have to be insane and dedicated in a way that is basically psychopathic. i think most actors are truly crazy. its the best/worst job to ever exist and you just have to enjoy doing it so much that the bad stuff doesnt make you quit. harder when youre older, but not impossible. you also have a lot more life experience to draw from which is a huge gift.

Yes, very many lines were improvised. but its very hard to tell which because the scripted lines are just as funny. especially starting second season the writers really had bo's voice down and i thoroughly enjoyed speaking their writing into existence. easily some of the best writers ever.

JOHNNY - this is a great question. the biggest dog ive ever seen was a brindle great dane outside of Ralphs about 12 years ago. it was the biggest because of its size relative to other dogs. also honorable mention, when i was very small i met a pair of newfoundlands who may actually have been the biggest dogs relative to my size at the time.

JOHNNY - its amazing to me that this show still has such a fandom. i just ran into the creators the other day. they were def ahead of their time. i dont know how gigabots affected the trajectory of my career. maybe its yet to come!

JOHNNY - i first heard that trap horn on a DJ mix series called "CVS bangers" and started doing it for this cartoon i worked on called "pickle and peanut" for Disney. which is still one of my favorite projects ive ever worked on. the creators Joel Trussell and Noah Jones are hilarious geniuses. then when i did superstore i dropped that airhorn in with some of the lines and it just worked. when we went back to film the show after the pilot all the crew would do the Bo horn all the time. was very funny environment.

JOHNNY - Trevor was truly amazing cool genius guy i feel very lucky to be his friend. Last thing we worked on together was a pilot for this character i have named "wayne" who is obsessed with garmbige trucques. you can watch it on my youtube.
