My Wife Is A Real Camper; It's

When I Read The Script For Will & Grace In 1998, I Knew I Was The Only Guy For The Part.

I Think I Was Very Lucky That I Didn't Get Well-known Until My Early Thirties. If It Had Happened When I Was Younger, You Might Have Seen Me Falling Out Of Nightclubs. I Think I Conducted Myself As A Much Better Human Being Because I Was Already Married When All That Came Along (i Got Married Five Months After I Got The Role As Will).

Brad Wright, Who Created Grant Maclaren, Had Me In Mind. We'd Actually Worked Together 20 Years Ago. He Wrote An Episode Of The Outer Limits That I Was In In '96 Or '95? So We'd Been Aware Of Each Other For Years. I'd Lived In Vancouver Off And On, Where He's Based. And It Just Came To Me, And I'm Always Looking For Something Different. Perception Was A Different Show Than Will & Grace.

I Had Played Many Gay Characters Before, But They Were Finite - Guest Characters In Tv Shows Or Characters In Plays.

The Thing You Realize Pretty Quickly, Though, Is That Being In Front Of An Audience Whose Job It Is To Laugh Is A Big Pressure If The Writing Is Not Hilarious.
