I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.
Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.
Improv is not something I had a lot of experience with, because for a long time, my only experience in front of a camera was all television, which is pretty rigid script-wise, except for the occasional scene where you toss in an ad-lib just to elongate something.
I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.
I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.
Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.
