There's something about that relationship between actor and audience. Whether you get it on Broadway or in a fine local playhouse, there's no greater drug. Every time I get to do TV, film and a play in the same year, it's my dream come true.

There was one scene early on where George is home alone, eating dinner and watching Bree on the surveillance video from the drug store, ... I think that's when America went, 'Uh-oh.'

artistic credit drama easy enjoyed high loved mainly musicals plays remember school singing
I always enjoyed participating in artistic endeavors, and I remember in high school participating in chorus, drama and singing madrigals, mainly because they were an easy A. I loved being in plays and musicals too, but you didn't really get credit for those.
