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

Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them.

One of the things I was so glad that happened to me on Knots was that I learned to relax.

I went to the Westminster College for Men in Missouri, which is what it was called back then, and transferred to the University of Denver where I ultimately got my degree.

The decision as to why a show makes it has to do with politics and money.

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.

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.
