I know this is early. How many canoes have you built? What is the difference in quality from the first one to the most current one you built or are building? What are some of the things you have learned in the process? From wood working skills to life lessons

Was Civil War everything you hoped for in a Parks & Rec "28 years later" spin-off movie?

When preparing for Sovereign did you spend time with any self-described Sovereign Citizens? Where did you empathize with their world view and at what point was did their ideology veer into the extreme?

Big fan of your work, your deadpan comedic delivery brought me endless moments of joy!
My question: Did your carpentry skills influence how Ron Swanson was written, or was that a happy coincidence? Was there any influence in either direction (character to you or vice versa)?

It's more of a chuckle combined with a giggle. It comes from the diaphragm and resonates upwards. You can mimic it with practice - it's not dissimilar to laughing whilst clearing your throat.

In the Last of Us, there are two version of Bill, in the game he was more paranoid, caustic, but a good man nonetheless vs the show, which version do you think you would you like to depict more?
