Sometimes, an actor is so thoroughly entertaining that we truly believe they can do anything.
Weisberg has been acting on the stage for years just as he has been on the screen.
Luckily, we got the chance to sit down with Weisberg recently.
Well, it keeps getting crazier and more intense.
We’ve already seen these laws that these guys have broken to get this company off the ground.
I always venture to think, “Okay, did they start with good intentions?”
We want to make money and create a thing, that’s fine.
Was it always malicious?
That will change the world, and then you get carried away.
To watch her work was incredible.
There’s some really crazy twists and turns coming.
I can’t wait.
What can you tell us about your story arc on this season?
There’s more of that to come.
What was your reaction when you first read that and filmed it?
It wasn’t an apology for being it, it was pride.
What a weird thing.
I get it, the pressure, like, “Yes, I’m in this fraternity now.”
It was this really great moment.
I don’t think so.
Everything’s backed against us.
Not intentionally, [but] everyone wants to do this awesome, crazy business.
I always think, there’s not actually competition against anyone else.
I can’t physically out-sing some guy.
I can only be the most prepared I can be.
My throw in, handsome leading man, is either going to be what they want or not.
I never really got that cutthroat competition feeling.
Everyone’s like, “hmm,” and then, “Look around, look around.
All the other stars are also sitting next to you, so get over it.
We’re all going to start from scratch.”
I like that mentality of, you’re really competing against yourself.
What was working with him really like?
He’s such a great guy …
Unlike anyone else in the show, he’s got 9,000 lines per scene.
Were you a fan of his before the show or was this maybe your first introduction to him?
No, I was a fan.
It was nice to get to see…
This feels great when you look up to people and they’re just as kind as they are talented.
I wanted to touch on “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” which I love.
It seems like “Glee” really paved the way for more musical series to come out.
On that show, what was your experience?
That show was a gift to everybody involved.
The dad was his dad, basically, in the show.
[It] was a real gift.
You got to perform some amazing songs on the show.
I know you did Nicki Minaj’s “Starships,” which is so fun.
I’m curious to know if you have a favorite song that you performed on the show?
I had some little monologue about like, “This isn’t how I thought it would go.”
Do you have a favorite song performed by another cast member?
Oh God, it’s really hard.
I really like Alice and Skylar and John.
Oh that’s … You’re so talented."
That’s like saying, who’s your favorite sibling?
It’s my younger brother.
Oh no, I’m kidding .
It’s really hard, but … Not because I was in it, but I love that cast.
I thought they were so good.
Switching gears to another very close knit family of a show.
You are on “Modern Family.”
How was that, portraying that diversity almost a decade ago?
This is an ongoing conversation for me with friends.
It’s a comedy, so there was a heightened element to it.
I’m a musical theater guy, [and I] happen to be a very liberal person.
I am surrounded by beautiful queer friends that are more like family than friends.
I feel surrounded by it, but it’s not me.
You’re a murderer on “Law & Order,” you’re auditioning.
Do you have to murder somebody?
That’s very different, but that’s sometimes the argument.
Do I have to be exactly the character?
I don’t know the answers.
That was a great answer, and it was great to see that representation almost a decade ago.
Look him up on Instagram.
For Disney to produce it, there’s progress I’m very proud of.
[I’m] really proud of Rueby [Wood] for bringing himself to everything he does.
I can’t wait to see it!
What can you tell us about what’s next for you?
[It will be] so good to finally get that out there.
For now, I get to enjoy week by week watching “Super Pumped” with everybody.
New episodes of “Super Pumped” air on Sundays at 10:00 p.m.
ET every week on Showtime.
