I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.

I was studying American politicians who were searching - allegedly - for American communists because it would put them on the front pages of the papers in their home towns.

When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.

The marvelous thing is that for thousands of years people have continued questioning and searching and ultimately concluding that reasons for certain occurrences are not given to man to know.

Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man's need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.

You see, some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.

While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
