cbs good introduced
Years ago, I did a CBS audition. I was nervous. They introduced me as 'Scott Bakoola.' Not a good sign. I also didn't get the show.
I was actually cut out of 'L.A. Story'... and rightfully so.
family oldest spend time together watch
My oldest son started to like 'South Park' and 'Family Guy,' so we'd watch together so I could spend time with him.
affinity dad retired
I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer. It's always been easy, the legalese.
episodes except wildly
By all standards, except for 'Star Trek' standards, 98 episodes of any television show is a wildly successful run.
I like pop, rock n' roll, big band, Broadway - I like all those elements.
I get nervous even guesting on other people's shows.
I don't even know how many times I auditioned for Danny Zuko in 'Grease.'
age allowed certain maybe men minds opened people
'Certainly Men of a Certain Age' was different for me and allowed people to see me in a different light. Maybe that opened up minds a little bit.
After 'Quantum Leap,' a lot of sci-fi things came my way, and I had to say, 'I can't do that right now.'
played runner sports
I'm a runner from sports. I've been a runner, but I wasn't a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
bette came elton elvis jackson john liberace michael people
Liberace was a miracle. You talk about who he was and what he did, and then you look at who he inspired, from Elton John to Cher to Michael Jackson to Bette Midler. There are so many people that came to see him. Elvis was there, watching his shows.

New Orleans has a unique history as a great melting pot of all kinds of cultures, and that manifests itself now through the food, the music, and the kinds of people who live there.
angels bing bit christmas favorites hard jimmy love music running seeing time
I love 'White Christmas.' That's one of my favorites just because I love the music. I love the story, Bing Crosby. It's just one of my all time favorites. And it's hard to have a Christmas without seeing a little bit of Jimmy Stewart and angels running around town.
