I have two delightful sons, who I love dearly.

I would love to think that because of the Emmy, the powers that be might be a little bit more inclined to use the character in a more fulsome way.

How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

A father never gives up on a son, not really, no matter how poorly he behaves at times or how many stupid decisions he makes. He tries to help that son learn how to become the man he was meant to be.

Indeed, the actor's lot is a much harder one than that of the director's, from one simple standpoint: The actor has to play the eight shows a week.

I indeed had only one scene, one speech, one little speech, but it was with Robin Williams.
