My Wife Is A Real Camper; It's

I Think They [tv Productions] Were Just Kind Of Drying Up. I'd Done A Couple Of Episodes, But Nothing Was Happening. So I Went To Vancouver To Visit A Buddy And See What Was Going On, And That Year Was Crazy. Vancouver Was On Fire At That Point. It Was All These Stephen J. Cannell Productions - The Commish Being One Of Them - And In One I Was A Bartender, And I Think I Had Five Lines.

[trust Me] Was Tnt, And They Were Really Supportive Of The Show, But In The End They Just Didn't Feel It Was Their Audience. I Never Really Understood Why We Didn't Get A Longer Run At It, Because It Was Griffin Dunne And Monica Potter. Just A Really Strong Cast.

[townies] Was A Huge Cast. It Was A Bit Ungainly, I Think With 12 Regular Characters They Had To Keep Writing For.

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.

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.
