With the state of the world today, an alien intervention might be just what the doctor ordered. ... Threshold
Yeah, I do like X-Files. I like the ones that star David Duchovny.
We're going to discover as time goes on that there is some adversity ... They are not in love with each other. These three guys were essentially shanghaied and made to do this job, whether they want to or not. And they're geniuses, so they have egos. I play a doctor, and I never met a doctor without an ego.
Well my family and friends where delighted that I was going to be working on a regular basis and that they could turn on their TV every week and see me.

And I think it's likely that there will be Data's out there one day. I hope so, if there are, that they all look exactly like me!
Yes, Data is hairless but I am not. And we are both anatomically correct.

Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
