I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.

Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.
