Knots Landing is the best thing that ever happened to me.

The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do.

What happens if you're the guy who's been on the show ten years and is highly paid but they have nothing for you to do is that they bring in other people, and you become a supporting character to those people.

I can't really recall the first time I was noticed by a producer but the first time I was on television was doing Daytime for Another World, which I started in December '75 and went until December '76.

And I had a lot to play, which is what you want as an actor.

I was in a Paris for four or five days and I couldn't believe the reaction I got there. It was just bizarre; people recognizing me left and right.

Everything I have in life comes from Knots Landing.
