I've done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl's father. It's a half-hour comedy. And I'll be doing some more of those. I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don't Fade Away.
Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.
Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.
And I like music, too, I like playing music.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.
I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.
The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.
The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go To Hawaii. There don't seem to be any takers on that one!
But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.
And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
Yes, in fact my brother Jeff and I co-hosted SNL.
