(How he got the role in Randal from "Clerks"): "I knew Kevin from high
school. We graduated the same year. After high school, Kevin used to
work in the video store from Clerks, which is just as dismal in real
life as it is on film, therefore it was a great place to rent videos
because nobody would go there. Kevin was an awesome video employee. He
was the anti-Randal, never charged late fees and always had a
recommendation for good flicks to rent. It was my coming to the video
store, which eventually got me the role as Randal. He'd be pecking away
at the script for Clerks while he worked and we would talk about it and
when he was finally holding auditions, he invited me down to watch. I
watched the auditions, which were less than stellar, then got up and
did my own less than stellar audition. Somehow, Kevin saw something he
liked in it and came to my house a few nights later and read me for
Randal."
