- The summer before his senior year of college, he went to New York to audition for "Godspell". He landed the role of Herbie Clown in the national tour, and never returned to college.
- He took acting lessons at the Cleveland Play House as a child. He performed in high school productions, Lakewood Little Theater, and the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival.

- I'm a Big Fan.
- This character ["The Big Fan"] really is me. I'm a guy who loves sports, have always been loyal to my teams, and always rooted for the Cleveland teams here in New York. They were looking for a guy who's truly a sports fan, but not the stereotypical guy who's going to drink beer and pass out at halftime. That isn't me, either. They had no idea how it was going to go, but it got great response.
