I’m 49-years-old and I’m cautious of the fact that very few people in comedy have careers after age 50. I think there’s a notion in our society, and it maybe valid, that people aren’t as funny when they get older. It’s a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth. I do believe that sooner or later I’ll get those great roles like Gary Sinise’s part in Forrest Gump (1994) or Tommy Lee Jones’ as Two-Face in Batman Forever (1995).
