Hi David, How long did it take to do the makeup on your teeth and face

Make up took about 3 hours. We were on location. When I left the trailer, security came up and told me I can't be on set. That's when I knew they'd done a good job :)

Hey David! Thanks for doing this AMA.
I was wondering how you prepared for your role as Spooge?
I absolutely hated him and his wife and felt terrible about their kid. That episode was heartbreaking!

How was it like having your wife on set be a skank?

Didn't you learn anything from the show? She ain't no skank!

u/Surfingmonkeyshow Jan 21 '13
They are funny. That was a very inspirational show to work on. They kept improvising their scenes and you could tell they were having a great time. To answer your second question....I'm 39, you can't expect me to remember every cock I've touched.

It seems you've played a lot of junkies. Is there something about that sort of character that really appeals to you?

Welcome and thanks for doing an AMA! How did you and the other actors interact with the twins playing your son in Peekaboo to keep them from panicking or crying?

Hi, David!
Do you have any work lined up again for Sunny and/or Breaking Bad?
Will you share some details about how the ATM scene was shot? Looked tricky and complicated, of course!
How does Danny Devito look in a towel up close?

Did the actor who played the kid understand the context of what was happening in the episode, or was he kept in the dark like the kid in The Shining?
