School is very important; it was very important for me. It gave me an enormous amount of confidence, especially at Yale where we were dealing with all the classics. In dealing with the classics, you are dealing with the very best.

My whole experience into the sitcom world, it was, like, "This is like theater, this is like film... This is a hybrid of everything I love to do. A live audience and rehearsals and... more food!"

I believe that no one can teach you how to act, but schools do give you an environment to make mistakes, to learn techniques and to learn professionalism.

The truth is, my father stopped bothering me after Stigmata, because I got to play a priest. That fulfilled his dream. The cop thing was a little overdone to him because my brother was already a police officer.

I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end.

We watch so many TV shows and movies about jaded or corrupt policemen, we forget people join the police force to do good, and they really care about that.
