It Was A Film [the Lost World],

Back Then, All The Networks Were Still Making A Movie A Week, Virtually. So I Did Five Of Them That Year. So It Was Just A Nonstop... '92 Was A Great, Nonstop Ride In Vancouver.

So This ["grant Maclaren"] Was A Chance To Sort Of Go Back And Do A More Leading Man. But Instead Of Just Solving Crimes Like A Csi Show, This Leading Man Is, Like The Other Travelers, Not Who He Appears.

I'm Doing A Very Funny Show In Which We Talk About Issues. I Speak At Aids Charities And Things. It's Great To Do Something Fun With Our Days And Yet We're Told We're Doing Something Important.

They're Such Different Things [townies And Lonesome Dove]. I Certainly Love Them Both. Certainly Lonesome Dove Would Be Way Hard Now, Because, I Mean, Back Then I Wasn't Married.

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.
