daily earliest evaluate
We're going to evaluate him on a daily basis. The earliest he could be back (for a game) would be Friday.
became dad enjoyed finished hang money starting work workshop
I used to hang out in my dad's workshop on weekends. Later, when I was starting out as an actor, I became a roofer and a framer to make money. But what I really enjoyed was the finished work. I like the longevity.
almost attracted characters frightened likely realise taking
I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done. I have to be almost frightened by the possibility of taking it on. Over the years, I realise I must enjoy walking that edge; I keep doing it.
people
People think what you are doing is real, on a TV show.
acting classes early great hope people saw someday work
When I was in acting classes early on, there were so many people in these classes who were doing great work, and you'd just look at them and say, 'Wow, I hope to someday be like that.' And yet these people never worked. You never saw them.
bob good liked man met nice second singer third time worked
'Let's Get Harry' was where I met Bob Singer and worked with him for the first time, and then 'Reasonable Doubts' was the second time, and there was a thing after that called 'Charlie Grace' that was the third time. I liked working with Bob. A nice man and a good partner.

I was raised with the idea of maximum effort: as long as you could look in the mirror and say, 'I gave it everything I had,' it was OK. But if you gave it less, that would disgrace you.
call gets sheet trailer work
I don't care who's No. 1 on the call sheet or how big my trailer is. I care about the work. I don't care who gets the laughs. I just care that the laugh comes.
I'm not a big 'me' guy. I'm a 'we' guy. It's the way I was raised.
attracted business likely
I'm in the business to push it. I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done.
choice people perceive regret successful time
I don't have regret about things I've done that are successful or not successful or what people perceive or don't know or whatever. I just know for me it had to be the right choice at the time. Sometimes that choice is just about getting a job.
job wait
The only other job I've ever had where you can't wait to get there was being a carpenter. It was because you're doing something different every day.
common lived lives people towns vice
There are people who have lived all of their lives in Garber that know a lot of people in Billings and vice versa. It was a common sense co-opt. The towns are similar.
