Q: What advice would you give to actors starting out today?
Create your own content and be part of a creative team, while staying off the results to focus on the process.
Jeremy Luke
Q: Where did you grow up?
Jeremy grew up in Staten Island, New York.

It's important to hone what makes a story returnable, instead of writing a pilot script over and over.

Q: As someone who's been on a lot of long-running shows, do you feel like you've kind of learned about the writer room process?
A bit, but I was a complete idiot. I thought I could write one script, therefore I can write a series, which is not the case.
Ryan Sampson
Q: Was there a moment... that you started to kind of think about this as a career that you could see yourself pursuing?
I was obsessed with Robin Williams, especially his performance in Mrs. Doubtfire, and I thought, I want to do that.
