As Much As I Loved [al] Pacino

At Home In L.a., Sunday Is Lazy. It's The Wife And Me Lying In Bed With Coffee, Watching 'the Soup' Or Something Funny On Tivo. The Kid Will Occasionally Join Us. Eventually, Breakfast Is At A Place Down The Street Called Paty's. And We Always Have Some Kind Of Great Dinner - My Wife Makes A Great Roast Beef.

I'd Never Been To Africa. This Really Was My First Film [the Lost World]. I'd Done 10 Years Of Stage. I'd Done A Little Bit Of Television. But This Was My First Film.

Rachael Leigh Cook Was My Leading Lady. She Was Awesome. We Loved The Show [perception ]. Again, It Was More Of A Tnt Show, Because There Were Crimes That Got Solved, Which [going] Back Five Years Ago, Was A Mandate. But There Was Something Innovative About The Mental Illness Side Of It.

Brad Wright, Who Created Grant Maclaren, Had Me In Mind. We'd Actually Worked Together 20 Years Ago. He Wrote An Episode Of The Outer Limits That I Was In In '96 Or '95? So We'd Been Aware Of Each Other For Years. I'd Lived In Vancouver Off And On, Where He's Based. And It Just Came To Me, And I'm Always Looking For Something Different. Perception Was A Different Show Than Will & Grace.

I Have A Big, Long Episode [in Full Circle] With Calista [flockhart], And Then My Character Actually Carries Out Through A Lot Of It Because He Was A Cop Investigating This Crime. But It Is Almost Hard To Remember, Even Though It Wasn't That Long Ago. We Shot It So Fast. We Literally Shot That Whole Episode In One Day.
