I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.
So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.
I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.
My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.
And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.
Acting is a tough business, and the percentage of people who make it is very low - it's about 1 percent.
Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.
For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.
I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.
I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.
I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.
I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
I started out wanting to coach football.
I learn the whole script before I show up.
I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.
I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.
I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry
Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.
I was in the right place at the right time.
Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse
I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.
I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I love making people laugh and feel good, and that's awesome and special for me to be able to do that, but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it's on a major scale, or whether it's in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing.
I hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative.
In my own work, I'd say I'm a classicist, but I look everywhere for my solutions. I don't study the toilet-living habits of my clients, although that's a popular approach. First, I think of every building in history that has been similar in purpose. Then I think of the functional program - that's a major part of the study.
