Your character Ryan is a radio host. Do you have any favorite radio stations or shows?
I grew up on Howard Stern back in the days when he was just in the New York and Philadelphia and Washington markets. [I listened to him] every day back in high school.

Did you study any particular radio jocks for this role?
Actually I called up Seacrest when I got this role and he was kind enough to let me come in and observe for a day. I got to see what he does when he's on the mic. There's something he said: "Even if it's just five minutes, you just experience what it is your character's doing and whatever situation they're going to be in."

Did he have any specific tips for you?
Coffee. And lots of it.
