I had a couple of decent laughs on Townies, but for the most part, delivering a joke that you just know is not funny is hard.

Back then, all the networks were still making a movie a week, virtually. So I did five of them that year. So it was just a nonstop... '92 was a great, nonstop ride in Vancouver.

I had played many gay characters before, but they were finite - guest characters in TV shows or characters in plays.

I'm never one to compare shows to shows.

I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.

Every actor has periods of their life that are a little less busy than others, and that was just a time when I needed that. And to be back on a sitcom stage, with Julia [ Louis-Dreyfus], was really, really fun.

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