[Billy Bob Conroy role] that was a favor. Actually, the lady who cast Night Court asked me to do it, because it was a Friday, and the person who'd been rehearsing it all week got sick and couldn't come to the taping. And she figured I could put it together pretty quickly - it was not all that big a challenge, frankly - and I said, "Of course." I owed her, after all. Gilda Stratton was her name. She was a really, really nice person. So I did it.

A job is a job. And I like to work.

I try to do as much as I can. I probably knew more about Earl Mills than anybody on earth besides people who actually knew him.

It just occurred to me that there are some beautiful shots [in Rent Control] with the World Trade Center in the background.

I did a great show Off-Broadway called Leave It To Beaver Is Dead that was at the Public Theater in New York. It was written by Des McAnuff, who's an illustrious director now, and it starred... Well, I was in it, Mandy Patinkin, Dianne Wiest, Saul Rubinek, and Maury Chaykin. It was an amazing show. But it was definitely ahead of its time, and people didn't quite get it.

There is no question that everybody who works in show business is lucky because of the number of people who wish they where working in show business.

Rent Control is not a terrible movie, certainly not for the budget they had. And, again, it's such an '80s kind of thing.
