As actors, if you get a pilot on HBO or on USA, your odds are good that it's going to get picked up.

White Collar' is a show about the unlikely pairing of an FBI agent and an ex-con solving smart, glamorous, interesting and provocative crimes in a sometimes very funny way.

About once a month or so, my daughter and I go out on what we call a Fancy Dinner Date, just the two of us.

In the evening, since I have a lot of friends in theater, we might take in a Deaf West production in North Hollywood, or, since I'm a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, they have screenings that are really great.

It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.

I feel very fortunate to be an actor on a network whose tag line is Characters Welcome and not Procedurals Welcome.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything more exciting than an empty stadium. When you see it empty like that, all you see is possibility.
