Personal Quote:

[on his early TV work] I enjoyed doing Night Court, because Harry Anderson actually wrote me a second episode that I came and did for them. They were all fun. I did a lot of '(Steven) Bochco' stuff- Civil Wars, NYPD Blue. It was all fun. I got to do Star Trek: The Next Generation. I was a lawyer one day and a Klingon the next. See more »
