I did a Moonlighting episode because I was friends with Whoopi [Goldberg, who guest-starred in the same episode], and she asked me to do it and I did it. But yeah, that was my first regular on a series, and it's because I'd met Brooke Shields a number of years earlier at a charity event.

Stagecoach is really my first Western-Western, the whole horses and gunplay. It was really fun. We shot it fast, too. We got lucky with the weather. If it rained, I don't know if we would have been able to finish it. We had like 12 shooting days for the whole thing.

Trace Adkins doesn't talk too much, but when he does he's got great stories. He's lived a great life.

It's strange, 'cause a play, you start at the beginning and you go all the way through to the end. So it's naturally very well rehearsed and you get a rhythm and a flow. In film, you can shoot the ending before the beginning. It's very odd. And it's like a craft you have to learn.

[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.
