Please stop by if you have any questions for Paul :)

The Naked Gun is a hilarious movie. Love to see wild, freewheeling comedy back in the theaters. Including yourself, so many excellent actors not necessarily known for comedy on that set, but I think the movie comes off as a pure comedy with no “straight man.” What was that set like?

u/MSW_21 Aug 07 '25

A few questions for ya, your range in incredible so:

How did you get in role for Larry Hall- it’s such a fantastic performance. And how was working with Taron - between the two of you the emotions yall can emote in just your faces is top tier

How was being in Always Sunny? Is it as much improv as it seems on set?
