Bill Macy

Over 20 years, I chipped away at a career little by little. I worked churches, off-Broadway, off-off-Broadway. I began being recognized by my peers by casting directors, actors, producers.

Some people in the industry feel TV actors can't do anything else.

I have this big kid in me. I indulge him; I let him out to horse around. I think I'm being a great old man.

You have to be just as meticulous on television as on the stage.

I've had the struggles; I've had emotional times, boring times, fun times, passionate times.

In a strange way, we go to a play to be entertained, but if there is any kind of identification, we either reaffirm our beliefs, or we change.

Every actor has a method.
