Amazingly you were directed by Oscar winning director Errol Morris on the KFC Commercial – what was that like?

Working with Errol was actually a very pleasing experience. First of all, he uses a camera where you look in the lens and you see his face. It was my first time working on that kind of camera, so it threw me off at first. But he has a great sense of humor and was very easy to work with. He allowed me to be myself and that’s key for my kind of personality. Hopefully, I’ll get to work with him again. 3. How much of the commercial is off-script? Was the “Whoa” or “Colonel You’re On A Hot Streak” improvised? Actually, a lot of improvisations weren’t in the final version. I ad-libbed a lot during the shoot, but the stuff they left in were the lines Errol would feed in to us from behind the camera. I would say things like, “Colonel, you put some stank on these wings!” Just to get the crew laughing and lighten up the set. It was mainly about facial expressions that seemed to pop out on camera. At one point they strapped my head in so they could zoom into my eye. It felt freaky, but it worked.
