  • Quotes
    [on his role as a gay construction worker] We'll shoot in Los Angeles, on the same lot where we shot Roseanne. It'll be difficult because I live in New Orleans. But I really enjoy doing sitcoms. You've got 22 minutes a week to put on a new play. It keeps me off the street.
    • [Late 1990s] Occasionally impersonated Linda Tripp on Saturday Night Live (1975) during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
