If you're doing an hour-long show, you're working movie hours, doing a 12-15-hour day. We work three or four hours a day, and get every third or fourth week off to give the writers time to write. It's the cushiest job in Hollywood.
From Eric McCormack
I had played many gay characters before, but they were finite - guest characters in TV shows or characters in plays.
Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, 'Hey, come see my play,' he'd say, 'Sure.' He'd see one, 'Oh, good play' - you know, very typical dad reaction.
We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.
I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.
I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.
