\n Glenn Howerton knows his way around self-involved characters.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s currently pulling double duty starring as sociopathic Dennis Reynolds on \u201cIt\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,\u201d and as disgraced Harvard scholar turned teacher Jack Griffin on Peacock\u2019s \u201cA.P. Bio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always had a fascination with characters who have very large egos,\u201d Howerton, 44, tells The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find people who are extraordinarily narcissistic tragic, quite frankly. And the tragedy of it is funny, to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA.P. Bio,\u201d now in its third season, is a comedy following Jack after he loses his Ivy League dream job to his rival Miles (Tom Bennett) and must reluctantly take a position teaching high school biology in Toledo, OH. There, he uses his students for revenge schemes on Miles and for personal betterment \u2014 while Principal Durbin (Patton Oswalt) struggles to maintain order.<\/p>\n

But Season 3 sees his attitude shift slightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to me that you can see him warming to the students and the teachers,\u201d says Howerton. \u201cThere\u2019s a fine line between being an unlikable jerk and a likable jerk. That\u2019s the line that I\u2019m trying to ride with this character, and it\u2019s quite true to the situation \u2014 which is that I think he\u2019s starting to like these kids. But he wants to be this Harvard intellectual, and he\u2019s terrified that he\u2019s really just a hometown boy from Toledo. If he admits too much that he likes this place, he starts to skew more towards the \u2018I\u2019m just an average guy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The show has had a tumultuous journey, initially airing on NBC before it was axed after two seasons in May 2019. One month after its cancellation, Peacock picked it up for a third season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t expect anything that I ever do to be a giant hit, just because I feel like my comedic sensibilities are strange\u2026But the thing that was frustrating about this was that the show was doing so well on Hulu, I was going, \u2018Our audience is a streaming audience,\u2019\u201d says Howerton. \u201cHulu was like, \u2018If NBC\u2019s not [making] it, we\u2019ll syndicate it,\u2019 but they didn\u2019t want to finance it. We had this huge streaming audience and nowhere to put [the show].\u201d<\/p>\n

But when NBC streamer Peacock set its line-up for original programming, \u201cA.P. Bio\u201d was able to continue.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Howerton\u2019s other role as Dennis Reynolds is still on the horizon, as long-running sitcom \u201cIt\u2019s Always Sunny\u201d has been renewed through Season 15 on FXX, even though the pandemic has made it unclear when that will go into production.<\/p>\n

Rumors were circulating that Howerton would depart the series<\/a>, which he also executive produces and writes, but he has no plans to leave, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few years ago, I made the decision to step away from \u2018Sunny\u2019 and it was just a personal thing\u2026 After 12 years of spending 7-10 months of my year doing one thing, I started to feel a little bit of resentment that it was taking me away from doing other things. And I was like, \u2018I shouldn\u2019t be feeling this way about my own baby, my own co-creation.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThen [Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day] were like, \u2018We can\u2019t figure out how to write you out of all ten episodes, would you be willing to come back?\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Just an actor? That\u2019s the most fun part!\u2019 And I got roped back in. I spent two years not really in the writers\u2019 room. My intention is to go back next season and be full-time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
