It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.

I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.

Growing up I was involved in children's theater, so I was definitely on the path to be an actor and a singer.
