Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.

The first thing I read was of my character on the phone talking to Sydney's fiance. Though short, it was so beautifully written, and it made me laugh. I thought if I wanted to play a character, this would be it.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

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

I had done some TV movies that were great experiences but, no, I wasn't looking to do a series.

The stage is where I feel most comfortable, and I miss it all the time.

If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.
