I'm doing 'I Hate My Teenage Daughter' with Katie Finneran and Jaime Pressly.

I am very traditional, and I am the disciplinarian.

I'm claustrophobic. I can't go into haunted houses. They have these tight, dark, enclosed space. I freak out. That's my phobia. It gets me out of stuff. Someone asks me to do something and I tell them I can't because I'm claustrophobic.

Sometimes we're at hotels, and I'll answer the phone. They'll say, 'Mr. Ripa, your breakfast is coming upstairs.' And I'm like, Is my father-in-law here? But, obviously, I'm proud either way - Ripa or Consuelos.

It was amazing just the scope and how sweeping the whole thing is. It's a big epic - tons of actors, tons of extras, explosions. They move a lot slower obviously than they do [on TV] so you're just doing a couple of pages a day, so that was interesting to get used to.
