How Acting Can Help a Writer
If you’re a writer, especially in the comedy space, you’ve probably heard the advice that an acting or improv background can help you be a stronger writer.
Donovan, who came up in a New York comedy cohort that included Nick Kroll, started as an actor and fell into writing through one of his connections. Although he was figuring it out as he went, he’s happy where he landed—not only because writing is more stable than acting.
