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.

Any time you get a chance to do something different or get away from your appearance or get away from what people are used to seeing, I think it's always good.

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

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

There's a lot of great things to see here in the United States. Those times spent together with maps and old cups from the diner you went to, those are really important as a family.

Sometimes we're at hotels, and I'll answer the phone. They'll say, 'Mr. Ripa, your breakfast is coming upstairs.' And I'm like, Is my father-in-law here? But, obviously, I'm proud either way - Ripa or Consuelos.
