Uh well I I I uhm all I know is when I first read it, it made me laugh out loud and that’s why I wanted to do it you know and I thought it was well I think, the first thing I read in the script that made me laugh, that really made me think I know who this guy is was where it said he was putting on a stage production of Erin Brockovich and that made me, when I read that I kind of thought I know who this guy is, I know exactly what he’s trying to do. Uhm and why I thought it was interesting was all of the, he’s kind of a fool, he makes dumb decisions uh what was really important to me was I do is I did someone who was kind of like it wasn’t just a satire, it wasn’t just a characture I did a character that people cared about and rooted for and wants to succeed that was the most, clearly the most overriding important thing, apart from getting the funny stuff right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah the the the the ? roots to success uhm yeah there are a lot of Shakespeare devises used within it and there are I think all the best comedy sort of satirizes the thing that then becomes and and laughs at the thing it becomes and it laughs at inspirational teaching movies and yet becomes one and it satirizes the Shakespearean elements and uh devices that uh, it sort of, it mocks and loves things at the same time in a strange way.

Uh well the rock me sexy Jesus thing when I first saw it I was a little nervous about it, not sure about it, I didn’t want it to be shocking just for the sake of being shocking, its just that I don’t like that kind of thing, there’s gotta be a point to it and the whole tone of the script is not mean spirited or or or uh anyway kind of antagonistic or or angry its kind of a love behind it so that to me was the important thing. And part of the joke is that its not entirely appropriate for him to play Jesus on stage in a school, its just, its like the off sense, its about a slight lack of judgment but its done from a good place and he’s got a good heart and he’s trying to do the right thing so many people…part of the thing is laughing at the kind of, of him making a slightly inappropriate decision and then forgiving him because you know he’s doing it from a position of love.
