And so I've always been fascinated by the technical end of theater, and a lot of my closest friends are not actors, but in the other end of the business.

The best scene is the last great scene I did.

It always takes awhile to find out who the characters are.

I worked with my son when he was much younger; we did L.A. Law together, where I played his father and he played a kid who was suing his father for alienation of affection or something. It was great.

My daughter is here in town doing a play, and her dog is staying with us. We live up in the hills, so he has access to thousands of acres of wilderness.

I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with a team.

The writers and producers always have an idea, then they cast the role and the instrument starts to tell them how to play the music.
