I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it's about work, and that's refreshing in this town.

It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.
I liked working in a series, going to work every day and not having to leave town for long locations. I was producing them and building an audience.
My first series regular was on a TV show called 'Starved,' which was so many years ago, and I was the only guy they brought in. So I go in, I read, it goes well. The next day I hear I got the job, and I rejoiced.
When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
It's a wonderful way to have a role on a series - you're not tied down totally and completely to a schedule.
I love being on 'Modern Family.' One of my favorite things is looking forward to going to work every day.
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
This is my sixth series, and I'm burned out wondering if a show is going to change my life. Don't get me wrong, I love when people recognize my work. But I've given up worrying about whether it'll be seen by two people or two million or 22 million.
I'd never thought much about a series, because I liked the idea of picking a script I liked with a character I thought I could sustain for an hour. In a series, you live with one character day in and day out - and you only hope it will be one that will not drive you crazy.
I enjoy working on a series and having a long stretch of time to get to know and connect with my cast and crew. It also gives me the ability to play a character over the span of countless hours of television.
