You've been in everything. Is there a role you're most recognized for?
You know what, if I get in a bad car crash today, Variety will report that Professor Lasky from 'Saved by the Bell' has met his early demise. I hope not, but without a doubt, that 'Saved by the Bell' has been running nonstop for 15 years since we did it. So there's a real base out there that knows me as Professor Lasky, especially. I tend to think that that's a show that hits kids in high school, when they are sitting with a bag of potato chips before and after school sort of doing nothing. So I get recognized for Professor Lasky a lot. Also with 'The Last Exorcism,' you know the movie that came out last year, I'm getting a lot more heat for that as well. And then weirdly enough, I did some stuff for Disney, and there's a whole sect of 8-to-12-year-old girls who know me as Thantos. I kind of cover the gamut.
You really have. You've got adults, teens, tweens and horror fanatics.
It's funny because in aiports and fast food joints, it's almost always 'Saved by the Bell' because that's that pocket of kids, working those jobs, who all of the sudden look at me and they go "Hey." I'm like, "Right. I kissed Kelly Kapowski. You're gosh darn right."
Is it annoying at all? Do people call you Professor Lasky?
They do, absolutely, because that's how they know me. They're like, "Hey Lasky," and I'm like, "All right, whatever." No, it's a real compliment, are you kidding me? Anyone who recognizes the fact that I've been working and stuff like that. Rarely do I get, "Hey Lasky, you're an a**hole." It's usually people who are fondly remembering their own youth. So I have no problems with that whatsoever.
