Seth Green has admitted that he was inspired by funnyman Robin Williams.
The actor feels that the pair have gone down the same path as well as having similar opportunities before working together on Olds Dogs.
Speaking to Chortle.co.uk the actor said: "There were people that were heavily influential to me. I just got to work with Robin Williams.
"He was a guy that I always grew up looking at because I felt like we had similar opportunities.
"He was a heavily comedic actor who made a huge splash as a dramatic actor and has enjoyed that versatility. Even though his style of comedy is broader than mine, I've always felt like we had similar paths.
Seth Green will next be seen on the big screen later this year as he lends his voice to Gnomeo and Juliet as well as having already completed work on Mars Needs Mom!
And Green reveals that he is not the type of actor that sits around and waits for roles because you just can't do that in the current climate.
"It's really impossible in today's climate to just be an actor waiting for the next gig. Plus I'm not that kind of actor. I've never really been the guy everyone's like, 'Get me him for this lead in this romantic comedy'.
"That's just not what I really do. I put way more emphasis on self-generation and just collaborating with superior talent and trying to find things that are appropriate for me to perform and also finding ways to actualise these crazy ideas that my friends and I have."
