Whenever I see Tom [ Cavanagh] - we're good friends - we just mourn that we didn't get a longer shot.

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

I have a big, long episode [in Full Circle] with Calista [Flockhart], and then my character actually carries out through a lot of it because he was a cop investigating this crime. But it is almost hard to remember, even though it wasn't that long ago. We shot it so fast. We literally shot that whole episode in one day.

I'd never been to Africa. This really was my first film [The Lost World]. I'd done 10 years of stage. I'd done a little bit of television. But this was my first film.

There wasn't an episode of 'Will & Grace' that didn't begin with my voice saying, 'Will & Grace' is taped before a live studio audience.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

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.
