He was once kicked out of jazz class.
"I'm an okay dancer. I remember attending modern jazz classes in New York when I was a teenager, and instructors stopping the class and asking me if I wouldn't mind leaving."
He's worn his Chaplin costumes to theme weddings.
"I remember after doing Chaplin, 12 boxes arriving from the studio, I think there were 56 outfits. I'm sure I have 3 or 4 left. I donated some, wore some for theme weddings...I wish I'd kept 'em all. It would be fun to do a retrospective."
He'll be releasing his next jazz album very soon.
"Somebody asked me that the other night. I guess I'd better get back in the studio. And it would be fun to make a more orchestral attempt at songwriting...Now I guess I should go directly to the studio from this AMA. The next album will be out tomorrow morning, if I get crackin'!"
His greatest accomplishments are...
"In order of occurrence: Indio, Exton, and the daughter we're having in November."
He really wants to hang out with these three people:
"Elon Musk, [Indianapolis Colts quarterback] Andrew Luck, Anderson Cooper."
You'll be surprised to learn that...
"I require at least one bath per day."
He finally picks his favorite superhero.
"My two-year-old is fond of Hawkeye, so just for today, he'll top my list."
He'd love to be on Drunk History, and this is who he'd portray.
"Probably our hemp-headed forefathers. I guess they'd be called Founding Fathers. I'm pretty sure Jefferson grew a bunch of weed..."
He doesn't understand why Downy hasn't contacted him to be a spokesperson.
"I'm incensed. There's no E in their Downy, so if they wouldn't mind a rebrand with an additional vowel, I'd meet them halfway."
He's joining Instagram. Expect cat photos.
"If he'll sign the waiver, it should be quite a barrage. I haven't cleared it with his agent yet. By the way, we have two cats. Both extremely photogenic." (Reddit)
