Does he have formal improv training? And if so, where? (if that's too much of a "read my bio, asshole" question, you can ditch it)

How does his improv experience influence his stand-up performances/material?

What was it like working with all those kids on "True Jackson, VP" - any stories?

What's it like doing the voice-over for the Wii game "MadWorld" - do they tell you what you're reacting to?

How did you get to be in Star Wars: the Phantom Menace and did you get any backlash?

You've voiced characters in mature video games. One of these characters was a play-by-play announcer in the ultraviolent gladiator game Madworld.


Were there any notable differences in your creative process when virtually anything you said could be published in the final product??
