David Cross opens up about his painful childhood and why he's terrified of becoming his father
David Cross has been a fixture in TV and film for more than 25 years. Along with longtime collaborator Bob Odenkirk, he's half the duo behind HBO's "Mr. Show," which earned him three Emmy nominations. CBS News contributor Jamie Wax sat down with the actor and comedian to discuss his comedy career and its painful origins.

I can definitely believe it. If you or anyone else hasn't seen David talk about the time he met Jim Belushi, I recommend giving it a listen to see just how polar opposite two Hollywood "stars" can be (I put the word "stars" in quotation due to it referencing Jim, who was far from being one even when he was still getting work).

I get what he's saying about the gene thing. My dad was a meth addict, had the empathy level of a serial killer, and was abusive both mentally and physically. I'm glad he abandoned me while I was pretty young, but I always worried about turning into him. I thought it was hereditary and that I was doomed to be coming just like him. It's still in the back of my head to this day, but I'm nothing like him. I'm raising my daughter as a single dead and I don't touch drugs.

I love David Cross (Mister Show and his stand up are my favorite), but Jessica Walter’s character was the best, followed by Buster. I think Cross would actually agree.
If you worry about being a good parent, you're probably a good parent.
Met him at a World Series game in Atlanta in 1999... he definitely knew I recognized him from Mr Show. One of the best shows ever made! And his stand-up is brilliant!
You could see the pain in his eyes when he said "you really want to go there?'
The trauma of abandonment can have real, lasting impact. The pain never subsides. But making sure you don't pass it along drives your relationship with your kids. At least, it does mine. It's not a gene. The part that holds the pain and amplifies it, however, is. I've struggled my entire adult life, never realizing the cause of the struggle were the events I'd blown off years before.

I've always wondered if there's a switch in my mind or a recessive gene that's gonna 'activate' somewhere down the line and make me want to leave. Subjecting a kid to 18 fatherless years and being thrown into adulthood as confused as I am now. I honestly can't even bare the thought. What I _do_ know now %100 is that I'm definitely not ready to have kids. I'm just going from there and hopefully one day I do feel that I'm ready to bring another me into the world.

Slow Donnie. One of the best sitcom episodes ever!!
He was a guest at a hotel I worked for, and I was excited by the idea of meeting him -- even if only briefly, and with a firm, professional LACK of fanboying whatsoever. We really have to restrain ourselves in that industry. When he came through the lobby, we made eye contact briefly, but it was clear that he was NOT in the mood to talk, so I respectfully went back to browsing on the computer as though it was no big deal. After seeing this, I'll now always wonder if he would have known I was a Mr. Show fanatic.. I probably would have given it away with a sly little "Terra-daloo" added to some innocuous hotel-speak.

The most difficult part of being a kid whose parent up and left is seeing that it had nothing to do with anything about you and your worth as a child and a person, but was about the abandoning parent's inability or desire to be a parent or to be a person in a family, period. Not so much running from being a parent specifically to you, but from the dedication to fulfilling the role of parent. Not that this intellectual realization will fill the longing for a dad or eliminate any hurt and or anger for this missing person not being there, but hopefully it can be a first step to rebuilding one's self-esteem and feeling of worth. And maybe it can be the root of the rebuilding of understanding, empathy and sense of redemption to realize that although the missing person's act left an emotional mark on you, you are your own, separate person who can see how the dynamics of this whole thing went down.
I've loved the genius comedy of David ever since I first saw him on 'Just Shoot Me'.

It seems I blue myself prematurely...
My dad did the same thing. Even though 30 yrs later he apologized for it, he still felt justified in doing it. I disagreed and told him so. He said: well that’s your opinion. So I told him he missed out on so much that he will never get back, including a trusting father/daughter relationship. I’m glad I got him back in my life before he passed away, but that broken trust that does have a tendency to make you doubt yourself because I am more like him that I am like my mother. But having him back in my life sort of gave me a look into his thought process that I could clearly see was not mine. So I think my years of loyalty to others in difficult conditions, including to him through his death, help me prove to myself that when things get tough, I would never abandon my own children. No matter how tough it got with them. And I’m much older now than my father was when he left us. So I have that sort of peace regarding that business that would have been left unfinished if he hadn’t come back in all his messiness.

Beautiful story
I recommend “Run Ronnie Run”. Hilarious!!!
i saw david at bumbershoot in about 2005 or so. He was in the beer garden. When he realized someone recognized him he bolted in a cloud of smoke, lol. I never got a chance to say hi.

Is that stage they shot the interview at the Bell House? I was so lucky to go see Eugene Mirman do a live podcast recording there a few years ago and he interviewed H. John Benjamin and David Cross. Was an awesome experience
David is the living meme of his character from Arrested Development crying in the shower with jean shorts on...

Hey! Never nudes are people. It’s a real thing
It was just one episode, but he did a guest spot on Just Shoot Me! that absolutely hilarious! Funniest thing in prime time in years.
Wow I can see the pain in his eyes. I feel so sorry for him.
I think the first time I ever saw Cross was on Just Shoot Me when his character pretended to be mentally challenged so he could get away with stuff. To this day, if I eat pot pie, I sing, “Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie!!” kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6Sh2KaOZbXTqbw.html

Me too!
My favorite Cross role was a bit role on Newsradio. At the time I was real into his standup so I loved seeing his cameos in tv shows
“Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie!!” “Green quarter?”
I knew he was an awesome human when I read his book and, in it, he professed his hatred of Jim Belushi.
I love these guys

Donny thinks it's vaccuum
Is it just me or are his pupils enormous in the interview
Never heard of him. Till now. Childhood determines your adulthood. Glad he survived.
Been saying that about parenthood for 20 yrs.
Gotta love David Cross
His daughter is so cute!
My very first introduction to David Cross was his character as Slow Donnie........Chicken Pot Chicken Pot Chicken Pot Pie!
Both David and Bob are the funniest guys alive right now and also the nicest guys I've come to watch.

So glad to hear this scumbag had it rough, look up what he said about hoping Jim Breuer would die! David Cross is a bitter, unfunny loser of epic proportions!
