Appearing onLate Night with Seth Meyersearlier this year, the actor looked back on his five years playing a high school football coach, saying he “had a ball” taking on the role he’d recently concluded at the time.

The actor went on to explain that playing a coach drew some parallels with his real life as he got more involved with his son’s athletic interests.

“It really helped, I have a 13-year-old son who is an athlete, so I was able to kind of use what I was doing at work with my son at his games and whatnot,” he shared. “It was a life-changing role, I’m very thankful.”
