In less than a month, Danny Pudi will be flying from New York to Los Angeles to begin work on Season 6 of Community, which was canceled, then resurrected by Yahoo earlier this year. He's excited for the opportunity to make another season of the series for which "six seasons and a movie" went from farfetched rallying cry to real possibility. (The movie is still up in the air, but Pudi says there's talk.)

But for now, he's focusing on Found, the off-Broadway musical that marks his theatrical debut.

Pudi considers himself a "very singular threat, and that's even debatable," but the show has forced him to improve on two passions he admits he's never excelled at. "The singing and the dancing I'm still scared of every night," Pudi told BuzzFeed News in an interview at Chelsea's Le Grainne Café, not far from the Atlantic Theater Company where Found is currently running. "Those are the two things that are still a challenge for me. I can see when we're doing rehearsals or making adjustments, it just takes me a little longer to figure out what they're talking about… This is my chance to do stuff I'm not capable of doing. I want people to know that."

Pudi is being humble: While not the star of the new play, inspired by Found magazine and the found notes it contains, he holds his own on stage. At the same time, it's an interesting choice for a TV star with cult appeal. "It is physically challenging but I love it because I never really thought I'd be able to do it, but who doesn't want to be singing and dancing with the cast of Les Mis on stage?" Pudi said. "When I read the script, I was like, This is a show that I'm scared of doing, but I can kind of have some fun moments here and feel like I'm not just gonna be just totally failing the whole time." He paused to reflect before adding, "I only feel like I'm failing 40% of the time."
