Poulter discusses playing his awkward character:

I was never the cool kid at school, but I guess no one is quite as dorky as Kenny. I have some similarities to him; I went through an awkward stage when I was younger, as a lot of people do when they’re not comfortable in their own skin. I can also relate to the way Kenny follows David, played by Jason, like a lost puppy. It’s slightly how I treated my older brother. I totally idolized him and followed him around, so I can relate to that for sure.

Poulter discusses We’re The Millers and whether acting takes courage:

I suppose so, but it was always less scary to me than school. I’ll just say it: I’m not the sharpest tool in the box. Being forced to go back to school is still a fear of mine.
