Brian: (on being comfortable with the improvisational aspects of The Office) Yeah, with my background in theater in terms of ensemble and creating material, I'm totally comfortable with. The show is a hundred percent scripted, but in all of the scenes we are given some freedom. We can change certain words, to extend scenes longer.
Brian: (on The Office and his future plans) The show has been great. It is taking up a lot of time. I have a couple of irons in the fire here for the hiatus. I would love to work in films and certainly there are people I would love to work with, but at this point, I'm taking it step by step and enjoying my good fortune.
Brian: (on being recognized in public) Yes, it's happening a lot. I think part of it is, let's just say that I'm distinctive looking. I think that here in Los Angeles, I potentially stand out a little more maybe than some of the other people. People are very kind. It's certainly been an adjustment for me to make.
