My dad in particular I tend to use - I call him 'The Brain.' If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain. My wife, Melissa, maintains that the closer he is in proximity to me, the less I think for myself. And I think she's actually correct.

I'm incapable of truly relaxing. I remember when I was younger and less wise or experienced, actors that I knew would always talk about jobs ending and wondering whether they were ever going to work again. Now that's my life. Joshua Malina actorendexperience share on social
Aaron Sorkin has been incredibly good to me; I don't know that I would have an acting career without him. Thanks to him, people think I'm smart and nice, but I'm neither. Joshua Malina aaronactcareer Change image and share on social
For better or worse, I have a lot of vaudeville circus skills that you just can't showcase in Aaron Sorkin's work. Joshua Malina aaronbadlycircus Change image and share on social
