When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.
When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.
As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.
We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.
The first script I got was Narc and I really responded to it; it reminded me of a '70s type movie, I really liked the characters, I didn't anticipate the ending.
I read that book, 'Lonesome Dove,' and I told my agent that they were gonna make a miniseries out of it and I wanted to be in it. I didn't care what part.
Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
When I was told that I was being offered a role in 'Miss Julie,' I already knew I wanted to do it.
I really wanted to do 'Modern Family,' and I really liked the script, and I liked the people.
Oh I am trying to remember, we would read the script after we did the show.
