My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.

I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.

I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.

My first commercial was an Old Navy commercial where I stood in line in front of a club, and Fran Drescher was in it.

It wasn't easy navigating publicity when I started, because I grew up with 'being famous,' and I'm just not into it, and I guess defensiveness gets read into that. And I didn't get an easy ride at the beginning.
