My favorite television show of all time is 'Hill Street Blues.' I think it's the show that is to television what Pele was to football or Muhammad Ali was to boxing.

I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.

I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.

I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that.

My thing is, I like playing guys who have a really interesting internal monologue.

I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.
