Once You Have A Phd,

I Have A Very Healthy Growth Of Both Head And Facial Hair. People Always Want To Attribute Further Superhuman Powers To Me. It's Funny The Way The Audience Really Seems To Want Me, Nick The Actor, To Exhibit The Same Machismo As Ron Swanson.

The Fact That I Have A Job That People Even Watch Is An Incredible Gift.

I Don't Know What It Is On An Elemental Level, But A Beard In General Evokes Hedonism. It's A More Lush Personal Grooming Style. It's More Comfortable And Cozy; It's Less Sharp And Angular And Businesslike. I Feel Like A Beard Is More Hobbit-like, Even Though Hobbits Themselves Are Clean-shaven.

I Come From The Theater, Where I Got Into Acting Because I Love Transforming. I Love Nothing More Than To Be Unrecognizable.

Technically, We're All Half Centaur.
