I didn't know whether Sam would come in and want to try to be funny or try to add to the comedy by creating a comedy version of the character people know him to play. He played it very straight, and that was his instinct and that was the right instinct.
I don't believe I've ever played a hip dude. I don't think I would have the wherewithal to do that.
