Jacob "Jake" Kasdan is an American television and film director and occasional actor... (wikipedia)

In the time since I've done 'Bad Teacher,' I've produced an independent movie and directed two pilots. So I love to do all different types of things.
When you take on a project, you have to be certain that you can make the best version of whatever it is you're given.
Comedians want to be rock legends for a day - that sounds fun to them.
I had never worked in television before 'Freaks and Geeks,' and 'New Girl' is the first time since that I've worked on a series that is actually a series and not just a pilot.
I was really young when I was working on 'Freaks and Geeks.' In a lot of ways, that was the experience that informed a lot of what I've become, and I feel like every experience I have is in some way or another an extension of something that started there.
