I grew up 60 minutes way from Richmond, in Charlottesville, Virginia and, as a child, I was obsessed with the Civil War. I used to do re-enactments and all that stuff.

I think it would be lovely to see some features on a disc of ‘The Rocketeer,’ with some reminiscing. I think that would be dynamite.

Vancouver is one of my favorite places on earth. It’s gray and rainy there a lot of the time, but for some reason, even though it’s gray and rainy, I feel like it’s a sunny day.

The kind of people that love ‘The Rocketeer’ are the kind of people that love good storytelling and innocence and a better world, so to speak, so they’re almost always nice people to bump into.

Many who wave American flags also practice discrimination on the basis of race. Many who wave American flags practice anti-Semitism. We think that betrays the fundamental ideals of our democracy.

I’ve done some things that have been quite interesting, but as grateful as I am for having been on ‘Dynasty,’ it was just so cheesy. That’s half the reason it was so much fun for people to watch, but it’s not so fun to have to say those lines.

I’m not sitting there thinking for a week and a half, before I’m supposed to go in front of a network president to do something. That just gives you time to be nervous.

The feeling of being at sea has put me in touch with who I am to a greater degree than if I had been on land all these years. So, in a roundabout way, I imagine it does inform my acting.

This is one of the ways in which television can actually be good, and even better than the movies, because it gives you a chance to tell a long story.

On land, you can walk away from people, from unpleasant situations. But when you’re on a ship for 14 months with 49 other people, if you don’t resolve your issues it literally could mean – and this would be an extreme circumstance – the sinking of the ship.

To me, the AMC brand is great storytelling – they call it slow-burn storytelling.

I tend to get comfortable with the dialogue and find out who the person is in the script and try to hit that. People are sort of independent of their occupations and their pastimes. You don’t play a politician or a fireman or a cowboy – you just play a person.

Cowboy Independent Play
I may be a little long in the tooth to play ‘The Rocketeer.’ But I would love to be a part of that in some form or fashion.
