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

I remember I had scenes with Melinda McGraw in "Ides Of March" that I didn't have in "Video Vigilante," but I can't quite picture that other character. But it was Vancouver, and that year was crazy

It was a film [The Lost World], and it's a sequel at the same time. The first shot on the first day was from the sequel to the movie they hadn't made yet. But yeah, it was a pretty amazing experience running around the jungle for that.

We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.

[Jack Nash from The Andromeda Strain] was not in the original film, but he was kind of a Geraldo Rivera almost kind of reporter that had a drug addiction. We start the story in rehab, and then he gets the roots of the story. I loved him.

In the '97 pilot season [of Will & Grace ], I got the male lead on The Jenny McCarthy Show.
