It is that presenter persona, I think. They say many actors are introverted and shy, which is why they're good.

He said that folks are always after shy people to "get over" their shyness. He's not sure it's something that needs getting over. In fact, he says, many people in this world could use a lot more shyness than they have. More seriously, it helps me to think of "shy" not as who I am, but how I feel in certain situations. In the right public setting, like a conference, I can choose to act in an outgoing or receptive way; sometimes, I feel myself putting that on, the way I used to put on my suit jacket at work to go to a meeting. it's the prayer shawl of corporate life.
