Quotes
"The evolution of Maybourne as I understand it was probably not a long range plan with the writers. They developed the opportunities that presented themselves in previous episodes. Richard Dean and I worked well together for many reasons but essential to my characterization of Maybourne was his determined but insecure mano-mano attitude that proved to be fodder for the writers and the playing of scenes."
"Shakespearean characters. I played many; Edmund in King Lear, Petruchio in Taming of the Shrew, Iago in Othello and many others. Although I've no real "must do" parts, any of them would be welcome challenges."
