What does this Tony nomination mean to you
0:02
I can't be... Something went wrong. If something went wrong with the universe
0:10
I don't know what to say. Gobsmacked is the word, I think
0:17
that describes my feeling. I'm bowled over. I knew this part was a wonderful part
0:26
and a part I felt connected to, Shelley Levine. He is my age
0:32
When you're my age, it can be a little hard to see that you're entering your third act
0:39
Because you have still a lot of good energy, hopefully. And I'm playing Shelly with all of that self-belief that has not yet left him, but will leave him in the third act
0:55
That's why you were acknowledged for a Tony nomination. You are flawless in this show
1:00
Oh, thank you. The whole entire cast is. It's an amazing cast, and I think we're reinventing the play a little bit without changing the words
1:11
I think that because it's a comically bent cast, you know, we are all, most of us are from comedy
1:21
We've found the funniest aspects of the play, and we're bringing them to the fore
1:27
and the audience is catching that right away in the first act. They're like, oh, these guys, there's lots of humor
1:34
And of course, credit to Mamet, much of this is just simply written in
1:40
There are hilarious lines and we're making the most of them. Yeah
