My chat with Jack McBrayer of “30 Rock”

A great part about my new gig writing some stories for Fancast.com is that I get to talk to some performers who might not otherwise be on my radar.

One of those people is actor Jack McBrayer who plays Kenneth the page on NBC’s 30 Rock.

His character is always in a damned good mood. I had to know if maybe Kenneth had a really dark side that is waiting to come out.

“I always wonder what the writers have in store,” Jack said. “Half the time they don’t even know what’s gonna happen. Already we’ve seen a few glimpses of Kenneth’s world where something is a little off; he sees the world as Muppets and in front of high def camera, he is always seen as a Muppet. I go to the writers and ask, “Is Kenneth human?” That all is so fun. Anything that is in the script, we all eagerly looking forward to playing. That has made the whole journey so fun and easy when you trust the people in charge. Tina sets the tone and that lays the ground work.”

I also asked Jack if he was looking forward to the Golden Globe Awards this Sunday.

“I gotta admit, I get a little thrill sitting with all the big stars and stuff but I don’t like getting all dressed up and doing that red carpet stuff and having people yell at you. It’s different from the first two years, you have a publicist shoving you out there and nobody knows who are.”
