leader trying influence
[Ted Denson] is sort of a reluctant leader. He didn't try to flex his influence. He's just eminently followable.
films love project sitting speaks time
I get called to do a lot of labors of love... independent films on very small budgets. If I have the time and if the project speaks to me, it's better than sitting around, right?
I not only get recognized - I get recognized from behind.
travel
I really enjoy travel, I enjoy the U.K., I enjoy Scotland, Glasgow.
holiday santa wonderful
Most of the holiday movies I enjoy, like 'It's a Wonderful Life,' don't really involve Santa.
dream cheer thinking
I dream about 'Cheers.' Like when you go on a diet and you dream of pizza. I always think of those wonderful years. I loved working on it.
bits
Once in a while it can be a bit disconcerting to be so recognisable.
way shallow honestly
Honestly, I'm a shallow performer. I just go with the text and feel my way around it. There's not a whole lot of shaping.
crazy long too-much
It's maybe every third person now (who calls out 'Norm!' when they see me). It used to be every other person. It's faded a bit, but not too much. They're always going to remember me that way. I decided a long time ago that if I'm going to let this make me crazy, I'm going to be certifiable, so I just roll with it.
