I think being a guest star on an ongoing TV show can be a nightmare, and I've done it a lot. You're walking into this family who's very comfortable where they are, and you have to jump on the train and be artificially comfortable. That's a very hard thing to do.

When you're a guest star on TV shows - particularly in the 1960s - you're always the villain.

When you're a guest star on a movie or a TV show, I always say it's like being invited to a family reunion, but it's not your family. So you don't belong - they're being nice to you, but you don't fit in completely; you don't know everybody's story. You don't have a history.

I wasn't offered a role in 'Expendables 1,' and I'm a guest star in 'Expendables 2.'

I did a guest thing on 'My Name Is Earl,' and there is something about being involved in a TV show that's in the midst of its popularity that frees up the creative process.

My very first job was working on a TV show that was a prestigious TV show and well done - was called 'Family.'
