“I've always loved the underdog characters.” — Jim O'Heir Quote

“I've always loved the underdog characters.”

“I've been an 'Office' fan from day one. I knew Steve Carell in Chicago back in the day, so I started watching to support a Chicago guy and immediately got hooked on that show.”

“I've always been a big guy, whether it's been a fat kid, a fat young adult, or a fat adult. I was always sort of... I guess the term would be 'popular.' I never dealt with a lot of name-calling or any of the bullying you'd think a fat kid might have to deal with.”

“'Community' is a great show. I love 'Raising Hope' with Martha Plimpton. And I love 'The Middle' - another Chicagoan in there is Neil Flynn, who used to play the janitor in 'Scrubs.'”

“I've always liked the downtrodden character on different shows. Before 'Parks,' I loved the Toby character on 'The Office.' I do like playing that type of thing.”

“I'm labeled a comedic actor, which is awesome. But I love getting the occasional dramatic role, too. Some of your best dramatic actors are ultimately comedians.”

“A playwright who limits himself - or is limited - to a handful of characters is forced to concentrate on the essentials of the situation that he has chosen to portray.”

“I've always just done characters and solo stuff. Like, before I even started working, that's what I did... I'll just go wig shopping and let God - you know, God provides.”

“If needed, I would have even given seven years of my life for 'Baahubali,' as such characters are rare to play in a lifetime for any actor. I consider myself very fortunate and lucky for it.”

“Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.”

“We all portray a lot of characters, and once we get into a shot, we have to come out of our skin and be a completely different person.”

“In rehearsals, you are likely to discuss intimate details of your emotions, as this informs the way that characters behave.”
