Interviews | James C Leary
Stand up and be counted

Picture Do you get much chance to bring your stand-up comedy experience into the show?

The writing on the show is so good that I don�t ever want to change the lines, because they�re so much fun. As far as I�d be involved is just being able to take the lines they give you and then just going 110 per cent to commit to them.

Clem is so goofy and it�s so much fun to get to play somebody that doesn�t care about their physical appearance, and can deliver lines about Knight Rider as if it�s the most important thing in the world. You know, "This will make my year if I get to watch Knight Rider and eat chicken wings". So it�s great fun to get to do that. As far as improvisation helping as an actor, it�s really teaching you to listen and react.
