I'm an Irish-American, and I grew up in an Irish-American neighborhood.

I don't play polo anymore because I am too old. But we still have a half a dozen horses - a couple of young horses we are teaching how to play polo and older horses that are real trustworthy when you get them up in the mountains.

What I would have liked to do on that show was play a secretary of state who has huge personal business interests throughout the world. That, to me, seems to be more in synch with reality.

It worked well because Don Murray didn't want to be on Knots anymore.

Writers are not always right however, but then again, I've been on shows where the actors have complete control and change everything and it's terrible.
