Yes, in fact my brother Jeff and I co-hosted SNL.
And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.
My brother and I are always trying to figure out a way to work again together.
Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother's instigation. So I owe him for that.
I like sports, I enjoy anything to do with the ocean, I like surfing, sailing, I like to play tennis.
I liked the Fabulous Baker Boys, Frank Baker I really liked, he was a solid character... I did it with my brother.
On the other side, if I'm playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. That's what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.
So I'm playing a villain for instance, who is supposed to be the bad guy of the story, then I like to try and find things that are good about him.
I find people respectful, and for me, the fun of doing what I do, is communicating with people, so I enjoy meeting people who have seen me perform.
I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they've mentioned to me before that they'd like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report. I know Amanda Tapping is a regular now on the show. But I have no plans to do that as we speak. But I don't know.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
