In The '97 Pilot Season

When I Read The Script For Will & Grace In 1998, I Knew I Was The Only Guy For The Part.

Brad Wright, Who Created Grant Maclaren, Had Me In Mind. We'd Actually Worked Together 20 Years Ago. He Wrote An Episode Of The Outer Limits That I Was In In '96 Or '95? So We'd Been Aware Of Each Other For Years. I'd Lived In Vancouver Off And On, Where He's Based. And It Just Came To Me, And I'm Always Looking For Something Different. Perception Was A Different Show Than Will & Grace.

[trust Me] Was Tnt, And They Were Really Supportive Of The Show, But In The End They Just Didn't Feel It Was Their Audience. I Never Really Understood Why We Didn't Get A Longer Run At It, Because It Was Griffin Dunne And Monica Potter. Just A Really Strong Cast.

At Home In L.a., Sunday Is Lazy. It's The Wife And Me Lying In Bed With Coffee, Watching 'the Soup' Or Something Funny On Tivo. The Kid Will Occasionally Join Us. Eventually, Breakfast Is At A Place Down The Street Called Paty's. And We Always Have Some Kind Of Great Dinner - My Wife Makes A Great Roast Beef.
