I went to New York out of college, and in my day, we were told that was the way you became a good actor. You don’t go to Hollywood, you go straight to New York and work in the theater. So that’s what most of the people I knew did.

BRENT SPINERI’ve gotten some feedback on it from people who’ve seen it and really enjoyed it, but I don’t know.
BRENT SPINERI had a really nice time on [Alphas]. It was a bunch of really good actors, and I was particularly thrilled to be working with David Strathairn.
BRENT SPINERI mean, what a man. Someone who’s done Preston Sturges movies, and I actually got to work with him? And he was great.
BRENT SPINERI assumed, “Well, I must’ve sounded like Conan O’Brien, or a reasonable facsimile or something.” And there I am in the movie [South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut ]. I was very lucky.
BRENT SPINERI’ve toyed with this idea [of Fresh Hell] for a long time. I actually wrote a feature years ago with this sort of concept in mind, and it’s gone through several incarnations, and…
BRENT SPINERI always refer to [Stardust Memories] as Sharon Stone’s and my first film.
BRENT SPINERI think honestly, believe it or not, that Dude, Where’s My Car? in a way represents its time better than almost any film made around that.
BRENT SPINERI didn’t really watch the show [Star Trek]. I still haven’t seen about 150 of them. So I didn’t really think of them too much in terms of episodes. I thought of them as kind of one long seven-year episode.
BRENT SPINERI think I worked an average of about 10 minutes a day [in Big Bang Theory series]. It took longer to get to the studio than I actually worked. So I regard the driving there as the actual job. The work itself was just fun.
BRENT SPINERGenerally, I have to be able to get the lines out of my mouth without making a mistake before I go to sleep.
BRENT SPINERNeedless to say, I was impressed by Felicia [Day] and her moxie with how to do a web series. I mean, she’s the queen of the web.
BRENT SPINERIm thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
BRENT SPINERPierre [from Dude, Where’s My Car?] could be the best thing I’ve ever done. When you distill it down to a minute and a half of work, that may be my finest effort.
BRENT SPINERI’ve actually only seen it once, and it was in Hawaii, in a little theater in Oahu shortly after it was released. But Roland Emmerich is a really smart guy, and he makes really fun movies to watch.
BRENT SPINERAnd I was, like, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I’m performing a musical number in front of Donald O’Connor,” who’s one of the greats of the silver screen. But it was a thrilling experience, it really was.
