I did The Commish and an episode of Neon Rider, and then I got the series called Street Justice, which I ended up doing about 18 episodes of.

I'm doing a very funny show in which we talk about issues. I speak at Aids charities and things. It's great to do something fun with our days and yet we're told we're doing something important.

I remember I had scenes with Melinda McGraw in "Ides Of March" that I didn't have in "Video Vigilante," but I can't quite picture that other character. But it was Vancouver, and that year was crazy

As a television actor, there's a power you're given to use your image to do something valuable. As a parent, these messages are particularly important to me.

The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they've got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It's another one where we're racing to save humanity.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.

I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.

I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.

The thing you realize pretty quickly, though, is that being in front of an audience whose job it is to laugh is a big pressure if the writing is not hilarious.

One of the things that makes me who I am is the loyalty I have to people I hold close to my heart.

But everybody still walked in eggshells around the two of them, trying not pick sides, though loyalties were inevitably divided.

The definition of love is giving.

It was the first female-style revolution: no violence and we all went shopping.

I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

I don't need to be married, but I feel married.

My colors are logically chosen.

One loves one's country the way one loves a family member. And sometimes that family member does really embarrassing, shitty things. But you still love them.

A big fear of working with an actor that's never been a lead in a film before is that you're going to have to work really hard to pull a performance out of her.

Health is a human right, not a privilege to be purchased.
