team people guy
Some people say it's scarier to direct the people you work with; not me, I'm a team guy.
shows elsewhere
St. Elsewhere was certainly a great show
football thinking mirrors
If other people think I’m okay looking, that’s great, but I don’t see it myself. When I look in the mirror all I see is a bunch of fake teeth and football scars.
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.
attracted business likely
I'm in the business to push it. I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done.
I'm not a big 'me' guy. I'm a 'we' guy. It's the way I was raised.
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.

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.

People think what you are doing is real, on a TV show.
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.
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.
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.
