I laughed from the time I got there until I went home, which is so healthy—and I got paid for it. There was a lot of improv, and the cast would constantly surprise me. My challenge was not to break [character].I was really into MTV's Jersey Shore. Oh my God. I got really obsessed. I would count down until the next episode—literally, like, "OK, four more days...." I was that into it. I'm from the East Coast and I knew guys like that growing up, so it was fascinating. I could relate to it in some strange way. The most entertaining character is The Situation: There's so much insecurity going on there. But we don't need to analyze the cast!Do something—anything—to make me laugh. If a woman is funny, that will leave an impression and stay on my brain. I like dark, intellectual wit. But no jokes about bodily functions. That's not a turn-on for me.Unconditional love and patience. A lot of times, people are in a relationship with someone they'd love to grow old with, but things become tumultuous, and there's so much that can divide you. That's the challenge. I got married when I was 23; I'm 35 now [and divorced]. A lot of change can take place in that time. And actors are slightly handicapped by their lifestyle: Couples spend time apart and with other people, and we deal with public scrutiny. It's hard.If you're not laughing and mentally stimulating the other person, there's nowhere to go. You can resuscitate it by drinking [laughs]. I always have the perfect excuse: "I have to put the kids to bed."I rap really well. I can sound like Lil Wayne or Ludacris. I'm dead serious...I can spit!
