We found that our kids enjoy those simple adventures we take as a family. I'm driving, my wife's the copilot and we give one kid a choice of what they want to go do. We eat a lot of bad food and sleep in some interesting hotels.

It's really interesting, for an actor, that you can continue to do season after season and not play the same role.

We have dinner every single night, Monday through Friday, with our children. We sit down around 6 or 6:30 and it's a family dinner - it's time to check in, just to be around each other.

It's always a good collaboration between the actor and the writer and the director to try stuff out, during the process.

As an actor, you always want to try new things, so the fact that they set it up so that you can be doing different things each season is great.

I am very traditional, and I am the disciplinarian.

People always ask me, 'Why did your wife take that extra job?' What they don't know is that four out of five days a week she's going to be home having dinner with us by five o'clock.
