David Hornsby claims that a lot of comedy originates from a place of anger.

“I've often said that I think a lot of Comedy comes from anger”

Comedians can excel at dramatic acting because they often harbor an underlying sense of sadness or darkness.

“when you think of like Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, those guys were like incredible comedians, but they have this darkness and sadness within them which I think lends itself to dramatic acting”

Comedians transitioning to acting struggle with the lack of immediate feedback they receive compared to stand-up performance.

“It's hard to use you don't get feedback. When you do stand up people laugh. When you do when you act people go all right, that's fine. Keep going. Is that all? Is that the best or like what what are we doing here?”

Comedy requires taking risks and putting one's work out into the world.

“that's what comedy is. You got to take chances. You got to put it out there. And yeah, we got a little bit of blowback. Um, but as long as you're clear, you know, where the where the joke is and that you're you're clear about your intention, you can, you know, then I think you can hear criticism”
