gives good kids pictures proud trying worry
The kids like to get pictures of me for their parents. They know how proud I am of them-they have a lot more to worry about than my stardom. They are trying to make good choices for their own lives, but this gives them a little fun. They are part of my family.
felt grateful work
I'm grateful to have had this, even if I felt that some of my work as an actor was better, like on The Detectives. It's not as remembered.
audience bigger gets hit lost season star trek
In our first season we had a 22 rating. Today Seinfeld, a hit show, gets a 15. Lost in Space actually had a bigger audience than Star Trek got at that time.
I kind of fell into acting. I was very lucky.
amazing happening lost
It's amazing that this is all happening to Lost in Space.
asking knew played sent worked
They sent me the script, asking me to play the part of a general. I have never played the part of an authority figure. I've never thought of myself that way. I was uncomfortable with it, but I worked at it and knew I had a guttural voice for a general.
doll general people shows sign
People give me things at shows-the Robot from Japan. What I would treasure the most is a little doll of the general from the movie-and if they don't make it, I'll make my own and bring it to shows and sign it.
careers space actors
I couldn't have left my career as an actor on a better note than to have done a cameo in the Lost In Space movie. Doing this part is the highlight of my career. What a way to leave the profession!
cowboy play fans
I'm not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians, they can act out Will and the Robot.
regret kids thinking
They always say it is better to have loved and lost and all that, so no I don't think I have any regrets, and I have always been there for all of my kids no matter what.

These are extremely talented actors who are all putting their talents into the Lost in Space movie.
