I sincerely believe I could have wounded up in a lot of trouble if I had not been taught as a boy to fear Hell, and to believe that certain wicked acts could lead me to damnation.
I can't allow myself to be caught up in chaos. It makes me crazy.
Audience response to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. back in the '60s - well, I was frankly surprised by the show's success and the attendant publicity for David and myself.
My belief in God is responsible for what I am... How can I refuse to talk about something which is so much a prt of my life both as a man and as a actor?
I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.
The marvelous thing is that for thousands of years people have continued questioning and searching and ultimately concluding that reasons for certain occurrences are not given to man to know.
Use of the word; the word itself was not printed.
I have always been adventurous and rather daring.
I've been obsessed with clothes since I was a little boy.
When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.
I suppose you could sum up the religious aspects of my boyhood by saying it was a time of life when I was taught the difference between right and wrong as it specifically applied to Catholicism.
While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.
I read Superman comics when I was a kid.
