I'm just really proud of 'Dead Head Fred.'

'Learn your lines.' I want that on my gravestone.

The learning curve on soaps is through the roof because it’s a three-camera setup. There’s a master and then there’s two singles. And the great thing about soaps, and soap actors will tell you, is that when you get your line wrong, they don’t re-shoot it. They just cut to the person listening.

I like to be in waiting rooms with people as they’re auditioning, because their terror calms me.

I’m a homebody. If I’m not working I’m with my family being a dad.

You go see ‘Timothy Green,’ and tell me if it doesn’t rock your world. I loved it. I loved every frame of it.

With Shakespeare, if you’re not going to do the iambic pentameter, do some other play.

The idea for actors is to make a living telling stories, so if you can do that, then you’re way ahead of the game.

I got my Equity card from an audition out of Backstage. We did ‘Guys and Dolls’ and ‘Kismet.’

TV tends to look for the living equivalents of squeaky-clean Kens and Barbies, but with my dial I’m more like Ken’s dirty old uncle.
