The two things an actor dreads most are children and dogs.

I was an acting opera singer, and that's one of the reasons I left opera.

It depends on the generation and gender. The males usually go for 'Police Academy,' and the young women now in their late 20s or so go for 'Punky Brewster.' I am recognized quite frequently because they're still playing that stuff on television!

From George Gaynes

For years, they cast me in these dumb straight roles of businessmen in three-piece suits.

From George Gaynes

I'm not foreign enough to play foreigners... I have sort of a mid-Atlantic British accent that puts me in the middle of everything, so they don't know quite where to put me.

From George Gaynes

To build a character like Henry Warnimont required a few weeks and months of work. It turned out he was basically a very kind and generous man, which he covered up with his surface gruffness and surface bluster. And the kind of hopeless quality, that 'everything goes wrong' kind of thing.

From George Gaynes

From George Gaynes

From George Gaynes

From George Gaynes

It's nice to be in demand.
