Q and A with Jason Gann, Star of Wilfred

What's the main differences between working on a Tropfest production, an SBS production and a US series?
Now people regard me in a slightly less "You look like an idiot dressed like that" way. I also don't have to draw on my own black nose now. I have an entourage of dog handlers and fluffers (yes, I said fluffers).

What's the essential trick to being a dog?
Being flexible enough to clean one's own genitalia with one's own mouth. It's the ultimate act of self-love.

Is Elijah a dog person?
To my face he is.

Do you have any pets?
I do have a couple of pets, but I am determined to keep them out of the media spotlight. At least until they are old enough to make that decision on their own. So many young pets burn out in Hollywood, it's crazy.

Would you ever play a cat, let's say in "Cats", the musical?
Yes, I'd love to!! Hang on... Oh, I thought you meant 'play a cat' as a musical instrument! How embarrassing. Um, I guess then the answer is no. But I do love all animals (not sexually).
