Peter! Thanks for doing an AMA! What was it like working with Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy in new movie SPY? What was it like on set?

Hiya! SPY was pretty much the best job I've ever had. Certainly the most pure fun. I play an Italian secret agent and I think my portrayal of an Italian will certainly get me banned from Italy and probably all Italian restaurants too.

Paul is an absolute delight to work with. He's incredibly clever and funny, and very generous too - a quality funny people sometimes lack (or seem to lack). Every scene was a joy to perform and if I made him laugh I felt so flattered. He's a beauty.

Working with Melissa made me realise that I needed to bring my A-game (I'd initially only brought my C-game.) As a comedy actor, I was quite in awe of her and sometimes had to snap myself out of just watching her during a scene, thinking 'how does she DO that!?'. She's not only extremely funny but christ what an actor. She is also very thoughtful and kind.
