I came to 20th Century Fox to do movies, and then they started a network, and they asked me to do a show as part of their starting what became the Fox network.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got good notice from that show, and on the last day of filming Townies, Twentieth Century Fox called wanting to meet with me about a development deal.
The show had run its course on the Fox network.
In my opinion FOX is known for being a network that just advertises, and that's pretty much how they get their viewers.
We started Fox when everyone said it couldn't be done.
I really like the way Fox handles their shows.
Years ago when I was at Fox, I was the executive on 'Raising Arizona.'
Foxes was a movie that didn't do a lot of business but it didn't do too badly critically and eventually they offered me other things. The interesting thing was that next I tried a film called Star Man, which Michael Douglas was producing.
I don't do much acting anymore anyway, and not to work for 20th Century Fox is really the least of my worries.
I was doing acting work at Fox - bit pieces with Greg Peck in The Gunfighter and things like that - and grew up more or less as a Fox contract player in about two years.
Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.
