Harland Williams

Canada has been a breeding ground for great comedic actors, sketch artists and stand-up comedians. We grew up with a different perspective on the world.

I hate when you go into a nice restaurant - someplace where you're going to spend good money - and there are kids in there crying.

I'm an American citizen now, but I will always have Canadian pride.

I sort of write onstage. I'll throw an idea out there, like Home Depot, and just start talking about it.

If you were to come out and hang out with me, just having fun at a nightclub or a party, that's kind of the version of Harland you'd get - silly, kind of always saying wacky things.

I think a lot of people think I'm doing kind of a character onstage, but what you're really getting is just me.

In 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Dumb & Dumber,' I ended up improvising quite a bit of my scenes, and later I didn't even remember what I'd said because I just winged it. When I went and saw the movie, I was as stunned as everyone else was.

What's interesting about Stephen Baldwin is that me and Dana Gould were originally cast for 'Bio-Dome' - but Pauly Shore and Baldwin ended up doing it. So there's a little movie trivia for ya.

The thing I love about sketch is sometimes it leads you as opposed to you leading it.

If you're going to take a jab at someone, you should at least have a bit more of a personal relationship with them. I feel like you can be funny and clever, as opposed to just outright vile.

I love seafood. Whenever I'm in Las Vegas, I love going to the Bellagio buffet because they have these great king crab legs.

The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life.
