Early on in my career, when I had basically been a sitcom actor for all of these years, and I made my first movies, and they were comedies, and they were successes, it was very important for me to stretch, and ‘Parenthood’ was one of those films. Even though it was a comedy, there was a great deal of authentic drama in the piece as well.

When you’re an actor, you often feel victimized – you see the end result, ‘Oh, they didn’t use this take; they didn’t use that take. How come?’ There’s no ‘How come?’ with the director. There’s only one person to look at. Walk over to the mirror if you want to know why. But I prefer that.

I believe in the imperative to explore, so any project that I can be involved with that celebrates that, and expands people’s imagination around that idea of pushing out, is one of the most positive things that I think I could be involved with.

Once or twice in the height of ‘Happy Days’ excitement, which had more to do with Henry Winkler as The Fonz than ever had to do with me, we were kind of like a boy band for a year or so, and we would go out on personal appearances and feel the limousine rocking, and the grabbing at your clothes and people trying to steal your cap.
