It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.
From Donal Logue
It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.
I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.
I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.
Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.
My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
