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

The only other series I worked on a regular basis was Benson, and that was a sitcom, so there really wasn't a chance to go deeply into the characters.

They've got to deliver twenty-six episodes a season and they're not going to beat their heads up against a wall if they feel something didn't, like, pan out the way they had hoped.

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.

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

The highest happiness is a by-product of worthy work well done.

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.
