I caught up with comedian and actor Bryan Callen recently and had a chance to ask him 5 Questions. With roles as Eddie Palermo, the Love Chapel minister from the 2009 breakout comedy The Hangover and having been on shows like Entourage and How I Met Your Mother, his career is hot. His comedy is also high energy, abstract and funny.

1. Three influential people.

Springsteen, My Dad, Joseph Campbell

2. What's better, acting or stand-up?

Two different animals. Both are difficult but acting you can fake at times. Stand-up you can never fake. Either they laugh or they don't.

3. Seven words about fake tits?

Seven-grand and they feel like my car seats.

4. Is NOW, as good as you thought it would be 10-years ago?

I try not to think about where I was SUPPOSED to be by now. I had visions of speech making and accepting awards for my artistic heroism. Now I just grind my teeth. A lot.

5. What are you working on now?

Being in the moment... Just fucking kidding. Working on being original, un-diluted - honest and above all, fucking funny. Oh, and a one-hour special for Comedy Central.
