If you watch Cheers, in 12 years they didn't age a day.

And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon.

Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.

I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week after week. I'd like to do a series.

I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.

Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.
