Gordon and I run our scene every night prior to the performance, just to get the cadences. I don't think Gordon would mind my telling you that.
Those guys, Scott and Preston, had professionalism, with a capital P. It's a bygone era. I'm getting emotional talking about them.
You push a button and it goes all over the world and on Sunday people are saying, 'Oh, I binge watched all 10 of them. Where's more?' and you go oh, the world has changed. It's not my dad walking to the television set and turning a knob to Ed Sullivan.
In my life, I find that in sobriety, I feel much more. And I have much more depth.
I really loved my dad. I was very, very close to my dad. He - you know, he was very, very nervous about my being an actor.
The most telling one was recently on a plane. This guy very dressed up and formal - the watch, the shoes, the cufflinks, the whole nine yards - he came at me, and I thought I was going to get nailed. But he literally came up to me and just gave me a hug and said, "Thank you for introducing me to a subject that I didn't know anything about." In those moments it always clicks for me what we're doing here.
