I Was Playing This Sort Of Asshole

I Did Five Episodes Of Townies As Jenna Elfman's Boyfriend. I Was A Guest Star, But It Was The First Time I Really Got To Play Laughs In Front Of A Sitcom Audience.

Back When I Was In Theater School, Trying To Figure Out What I Was Going To Do With My Life, 'sweeney Todd' Was A Huge Touchstone For Me, My Favorite Musical For Sure.

When We Started The Show [lonesome Dove], Suzanne De Passe - Who Had Done The Original Miniseries And Still Owned The Property And Was Turning It Into This Series - She Brought In A Lot Of Old Friends - Diahann Carroll And Billy Dee Williams And Dennis Weaver. And We Had An Interesting Collection Off The Top Of These Old Seasoned Actors. Billy Dee Was Lovely And Iconic.

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 Really Liked It [the Andromeda Strain], And I Don't Know That It Ever Had The Effect They Were Hoping For. I Don't Know If They Got The Audience We Were Hoping For. But I Thought It Was Very Fun, And I Loved The Character [jack Nash] I Was Playing.
