Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, Hey, come see my play, hed say, Sure. Hed see one, Oh, good play - you know, very typical dad reaction.

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.

I made Lost World in September of '91, and by the end of that year, I was living in Toronto.

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through.

As a television actor, there's a power you're given to use your image to do something valuable. As a parent, these messages are particularly important to me.

As much as I loved [Al] Pacino and [Robert] De Niro and wanted to be a dramatic actor, I also grew up on sitcoms.

[Townies] was a huge cast. It was a bit ungainly, I think with 12 regular characters they had to keep writing for.
