Ty simpkins

I am very big into superheroes.

I belong to an improv group, I play cello, I have these phases - fencing, tae kwon do, baseball, ice hockey, boogie boarding in the summer, snowboarding in the winter.

I don't really watch a lot of TV, but I do watch 'Adventure Time', 'The Amazing World of Gumball', and 'Looney Tunes' and old classic cartoons.

I really want to meet and work with JJ Abrams. Everyone talks about what a nice director he is, and he has kids and stuff, so he sounds really awesome, not to mention he makes awesome movies.

As an actor, you act in order to make a living. Then, when you can make a living, you start acting because you want to do what you love to do. I need to remind myself of that a lot.

Coming back to 'New Girl' was a real reminder of how lucky I am to be on a popular network TV show.

Recess and lunch are the best.

'New Girl' is how I make my living, and if I'm going to do a movie, it's because I really, artistically, want to do it.
