When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust. I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.

There are so many things I'd like to change in the industry. Everything from the reliance of style over substance to their reluctance to hire me for big budget blockbusters, but the thing I would love most would be if they understood people don't have to be Hollywood beautiful to be sexy or interesting.

I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.

Onstage I do all the stuff I'd never do in real life, like lashing out at people who make me mad or freaking out in a long bank lineup. Performing allows me to fulfill all the sicko fantasies I've ever had.

Colin Mochrie
Colin Andrew Mochrie was on born Nov. 30, 1957, in Kilmarnock, Scotland. His father, an airline maintenance executive, moved the family to Montreal, Canada, in 1964, and finally to Vancouver in 1969. When asked about his childhood, he said he tended to be a bit of a loner because of moving around so much, but other then that he was a pretty typical kid: "I fought with my younger brother, was protective of my younger sister and didn't get my parents". After he dropped out of school in BC, he did theatre sports and there he met Ryan Stiles, with whom he has remained friends for more than 20 years. In 1989, he married comedienne Debra McGrath and they have one daughter, Kinley Mochrie. He worked at Second City in Toronto before joining the British comedy improv show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? (1988) (and he also stars in the American version, Whose Line Is It Anyway? (1998)). Colin and his family once resided in Los Angeles but moved back to Canada. He had a recurring role on The Drew Carey Show (1995) as "Eugene Anderson". He won the Canadian Comedy award as Male Improvisational Comic. In addition to his TV work, Colin has been busy on the stage, which is where he actually began his career, the early part of which he spent touring with The National Touring Company, and has starred in such popular stage productions as "She Stoops to Conquer" and "The Brady Bunch". He also writes, as well as stars in, the Canadian comedy series, Supertown Challenge (1998), as well as the sitcom, Blackfly (2001). He has also appeared in such films as John Woo's Zong heng si hai (1991), Love and Other Disasters (2006), The Campbells (1986), The Real Blonde (1997) and The January Man (1989).
