I made a conscious effort to focus on television so I could stay in Los Angeles, so I wasn't on a location all over the world doing movies.

I eventually became an actor, starting with doing stand-up comedy in New York and then theater wherever they would let me. Finally, I moved out here to Los Angeles and got on a show.

When I first came to Hollywood, I used to dream of doing films and escaping television.

I started working in the mid-to-late Seventies, when television was not what it is now.

My upbringing was very un-Hollywood... I was born in New York and grew up on a ranch. I was never really smitten by the business in those days, never a fan type - just a basic kid watching TV.

Television and I grew up together.

I did theatre all my life and then went into the film world. I then kind of segued into TV land, which is a different experience.

I left Canada to come to Hollywood to make movies.

I began modeling in N.Y. and doing commercials. That led to regional theatre and then Broadway and then movies.

So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.
