I can't imagine that I would have been cast in the role, without Jamie Lee giving me a thumbs up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But when I did think about it and looked at the whole package - the producers behind the show, the writers, the cast I would be working with - I would have been a fool to turn it down just because the role for me was another gay role.
I didn't think I'd ever be an actor.
I think I would have been so much in awe of the movie set, the people and what everybody's job was, that I don't know if I would be able to concentrate on the character.
If I were very handsome, maybe I'd have been an actor.
As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams.
When I played Dean Martin, he was dead when we made the movie but there would have been nothing better than to spend a week with Dean Martin if I could have.
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
I would've been a really big silent movie star.
I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'
