SCHWARTZ: I think that’s absolutely correct. Or if I go on Twitter, it’s over.ĬRYSTAL: It sounds like an addiction to the phone. I get too curious about who’s emailing, and texting, and why. If I see a text or an email, my brain starts and I can’t go back to sleep. SCHWARTZ: You know what it is? The second I look at my phone, I’m up. So as a kid I liked making people laugh, and when I moved from the Bronx to Westchester, the way that I made friends was by making people laugh.

Earlier this month, they reunited over Zoom for a casual chat about food, sleep, and other essentials.īILLY CRYSTAL: Why are you in New Orleans?īEN SCHWARTZ: I’m filming a movie called Renfield. They became good friends, staying in touch as Schwartz went on to voice the lead character in Sonic the Hedgehog and its upcoming sequel, and showed up in everything from the Netflix comedy Space Force to the Apple TV+ whodunit The Afterparty. Schwartz’s origins made him a natural fit opposite Billy Crystal, another Jewish kid from the Bronx who could make people laugh, in the 2019 comedy Standing Up, Falling Down. That skill came in handy when his family relocated to Westchester, and even more so when he embarked on a comedy career that eventually led him to his breakout role as the lovable blowhard Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on Parks and Recreation. As a Jewish kid growing up in the Bronx, Ben Schwartz relied on humor to make new friends.
