I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical

It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.

Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don't know... It's just good entertainment.

If a guy as good and decent with as much grace as Chuck Heston can stand up for an issue that I think is very important ... then I certainly could stand up and I plan on remaining a life member for life.

I think television has always been one to replicate when something's successful.

All I see is people out there who are hungry for more.

Which to this day is a source of enormous guilt, because I left with three classes to go in the business school to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox.
