Nick Offerman Guy Quotations

My uncles, who are farmers in Minooka, Illinois - I grew up with them and their pickup trucks and mustaches, and to me that was masculinity: big hairy sweaty guys who could pick up a bus.

Before people figured out I was funny, I got cast quite a bit as either a rapist or serial killer or the guy who catches those people.

When we think of an actor, we think of a tanned, frosted-tipped, model-looking guy. We don't think of a plumber.

Auditioning for television shows - to find a guy who has a lot of experience as a laborer is a bit of an anomaly. We do exist.I know several other actors who have made their living, instead of a waitress job, framing houses or blacktopping roads.

I learned in my early years in the theater that I would never become the guy on top. I'll never create a show; I don't have a brain expansive enough to see the whole picture, in a way that would behoove anyone.
