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.

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

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.

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.

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

In January '77 I went out to LA and have been here 26 years.
