I've Never Been In This Business For

Grissom Is A Character Who Doesn't Really Want People Poking Around In His Life. He Likes To Poke Around In His Work.

I Didn't Want To Play A Lawyer. I Didn't Want To Play A Doctor. I Didn't Want To Play A Single Dad. I Wanted To Do Something I Felt I Could Learn From, Something That Would Be A Challenge And Something That Would Not Dry Up.

The Show Can Go On Without Me, And Probably Will, But I Want To Come Back To Act In Chicago. My Wife And I Just Bought A Condo Downtown, And I Want To Do Theater.

Grissom Comes From A Place Where We Know He Had A Deaf Mother, He Was Raised In A Silent Household, On Some Level, Had A Father Who Potentially Was Not Around And He Learned What He Knew By Himself In The Back Yard, With Bugs And Animals. He's Not Comfortable Being A Supervisor And That's His Problem.

If I Could Change On Thing About Myself, I Would: Have Better Knees. Mine Are Shot Because Of Injuries. You're Only As Good As Your Legs, Whether You're An Athlete Or An Actor.
