    Cool. As always, luck is everything. He said it himself: he didn't even really take an acting class. 😂 That's usually how you DON'T succeed. Usually. Unless you're truly fortunate. Which he was.

    Birbiglia! I knew you doing open mics back in the day! Great job! Great tease for the interview! You two would make a great team on a project. Is that a Mike Birbiglia custom skate deck on the back wall?

    Bob’ s conversation with Seth and Josh Meyers helps me be a better mom everyday. “I am where I need to be. “ Thank you Bob. I hope you got my letter of appreciation.
