“Before I had kids, the entire spectrum of human behavior and emotions were my palette. And now that I watch my kids consume content, I really do think more about, ‘What does this project say?’ It doesn’t mean you have to be serious all the time, or that everything has to be a message piece,” he explained. “But I do think about, ‘What kind of behavior am I modeling?’ I still like to be silly and goof around and I still like to laugh. I don’t have to play the good guy all the time because great stories need villains.”
