00:00 How did your involvement in this movie come about? Did Jerry call you up?
00:03 Yeah, Jerry just called my agent and said, "Will he do it?"
00:07 And I said, "Of course, it's Jerry Seinfeld, why wouldn't I do it?"
00:10 And that was it. That was it.
00:13 And the funny part was that I got the script and my part's all in Russian.
00:18 And he's like, "Jerry, I don't speak Russian."
00:20 He's like, "That's cool, just make it up."
00:23 [laughter]
00:26 - How are you, sir? - Hey, brother, good to see you.
00:28 - Hey, what's going on, man? - Good, good.
00:31 So, that was it.
00:33 There are so many reunions happening on this carpet. It's a stacked cast.
00:38 - Have you seen the movie at all yet? - I haven't seen it yet.
00:41 So I can't wait to see it, but I know a bunch of people that are in it.
00:45 It's so good to see them all, and it's going to be fun.
00:49 What was it like working with Jerry Seinfeld as a director?
00:52 He was amazing, man. He was very precise about stuff,
00:58 but at the same time he was very laid back and allowed people to just do what they wanted to do.
01:04 And he would just throw in some great lines or things you should say.
01:10 A lot of improv going on with him, so I loved it.
01:14 Which do you prefer, a comedy like this or a drama, which is what we kind of know you for?
01:19 Yeah, you know both of them, and it depends on which one I did last.
01:24 So it's great to mix it up, and this was just a great experience.
01:30 Kind of a silly question. When it comes to Pop-Tarts, do you prefer toasted or untoasted?
01:35 Toasted. I like them nice and warm.
01:39 Awesome. Thank you so much. It was so great meeting you.
