So, our site, Decider, focuses on TV and movies that are on streaming, and you have a very impressive list of TV credits under your belt. Pre-Speechless, you’ve done episodes here and there of some really great sitcoms and other TV — Glee, Party Down, Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Happy Endings, Children’s Hospital — could you pick one or two episodes that you really loved doing, or you’re really proud of, to say “Oh, go seek that out and find it on streaming and watch it”?

I’m on my phone, I can’t look up my own IMDB page. I did a Curb Your Enthusiasm where my wife [actress Jamie Denbo] and I auditioned together, and we booked it together, and we played Jamie and John, who were neighbors of Larry’s. It’s a very interesting episode, and it was really funny, and it happens to deal with people in wheelchairs and our perceptions around them and how able-bodied people tend to congratulate themselves by being friends with people who use wheelchairs. It’s ten years old at this point, but in the context of my current job, it’s a really interesting episode to look at.

I’m completely and totally proud of my Big Bang Theory work; I’ve had a total blast doing that show over the years, coming in and out like — perhaps I flatter myself — like that show’s Newman. I’m in the very final episode ["Constance Carmell Wedding"] of Party Down which is notable because the cast was just a murderer’s row, I mean what a cast! And on top of that, it’s the only time I’ve ever sort of thrown a punch on TV.

Oh, very nice. Congratulations!

I am usually neither a lover nor a fighter, just a guy. And, so, I punched Ken Marino on that show, and it was very hard to shoot. I love Ken, he’s an old friend, I didn’t want to offend him. Oh, and I did a House of Lies episode in their first season where I had two great moments. One where I dressed-down Don Cheadle in this incredible monologue that they wrote, and I also play a foot fetishist who sucked on Kristen Bell’s feet. She was an awfully good sport about it, too. Not every actor would have been as cool about that but she was super game, and whenever I’ve run into her since then she’d, in a very friendly fashion, waved her foot at me.
