Miller Timing: T.J. Miller Talks Music and Mirth

We interview the fan-friendly funnyman in a very unusual locale...

With a new music CD and comedy DVD out, plus a stop-motion animated feature on the way, T.J. Miller needs time to decompress. We wanted time to talk. So we met him in a sensory deprivation chamber...

GeekChicDaily: You have a big 2012 coming up, you had a great 2011; a lot of stuff going on.

T.J. Miller: I found out that I had been living as a woman for 12 years and no one had brought it up. All my girlfriends had been too polite to mention it, but I am a man. So I've been sort of doing comedy as a female and I really have to switch gears in 2012.

GCD: On the bright side of that, it does make most of the roles that you have tried to play as a man that much more impressive.

TJM: Well, exactly. A lot of people didn't even know that, I was coming into all these roles, I kept getting cast as a guy, and then, now of course it's obvious. Egg on my face. But literally and figuratively. I just ate an omelet, and I also felt embarrassed.

GCD: What made you want to make The Extended Play EP?

TJM: Look, I'm not a musician, I don't have any aspirations to be a musician, I think music is weird and I don't really know anything about it, but I see these other people doing it. So I made a 41-track EP.

Don't deprive your sense of humor; check out our full-length talk with a trapped T.J. Miller.
