Jay Harrington

Jay Harrington: Being a boy doing plays, there were certainly a lot more parts and a lot less of us, so I would get roles often. And it was not based on talent, trust me. When there are only six guys auditioning for something and 10 guy roles, you are going to get cast.

Jay Harrington: (on what drew him to be part of "Better Off Ted"; in a 2009 interview) I'd say it's the most original concept I ever read to date, where characters speak to the camera. I really like that [Ted] is a single dad raising a daughter in a corporate world that may not be in his moral agenda. But he had to do right [by his daughter]. And I was certainly attracted to that quality of the character and talking to the camera. Having the wackiness around was a lot of fun to play with each week.

Jay Harrington: (on what drew him into acting) Growing up my folks had a summer house on Cape Cod that was about a mile and a half from a children's theater. A lot of rainy days during the summer can happen and so there's no beach and there's no baseball or things to do, there was this theater that offered classes and did shows. I just kind of had a lot of fun doing it.
