Gary Cole Television Quotations

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

You don't really have time to do other than what's written. It's very rigid. Shows have a certain rhythm that nobody wants disturbed. So a lot of that doesn't take place on television, at least the television I was doing at the time when I first started.

Television is a big roulette table on so many levels. That's all it is for actors.

Improv is not something I had a lot of experience with, because for a long time, my only experience in front of a camera was all television, which is pretty rigid script-wise, except for the occasional scene where you toss in an ad-lib just to elongate something.
