So many shows out there dumb-down the country. It's so admirable to be part of a show that wants people to think.

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

What's great is that because math is such a universal language, really, our fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and genders and races and backgrounds and cultures.

I got to learn to surf.

The only thing a lawyer won't question is the legitimacy of his mother.
