I don't have a grand master plan, but I try to be thoughtful when I can and also silly. It's part of the fun.

The point is that any law that makes criminals out of 15 million Americans is probably not such a good idea. The point was that drug abuse isn't a criminal issue, it's a healthcare issue. And the money and manpower we spend prosecuting a surfer in San Diego might better be used fighting things that genuinely threaten our national health and safety. That was the point.

My job is to play many different roles with all sorts of different backgrounds and orientations.

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

It's fun to play a character who lives on the edge, who is an ethical and moral mess, and is paying the price for some of his actions.

I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.
