Theres Always Next Year, ... Except, You

I'm From A Lebanese-american Family. And I've Been Had Lot Of Contacts And - With Arab-american Community, Especially Arab-american Filmmakers And Actors And So Forth. It's A Community That, A Minority That Really Hasn't Been Heard From Enough. And So Many Of The Stories That Are Told About Arab-americans These Days Are Just Negative Portrayals In The News, But Also In Television And Film. So We're - We Set Out To Try And Offset Some Of Those Stereotypes.

Theres Always Next Year, ... Except, You Know, For Ray Romano.

The Challenge With All Television - All Series Television As You Get Into Later Seasons To Give People What They Have Come To, What They've Become Familiar With And What The Qualities Of The Shows That They Recognize Without Letting It Get Staled.

I Still Think Of Myself As A Stage Actor. When I Do Film And Television I Try To Implement What I Was Taught To Do In Theatre, To Try To Stretch Into Characters That Are Far From Myself.

I've Been So Fortunate Throughout My Career, When I Was Doing Theater, More Theater Than Anything Else, And When I Was Doing Films That I Got A Chance Just To Do A Broad Range Of Things. In Fact, A Lot Of My Choices That I Made Were About That Very Thing. Every Project That I Had An Opportunity To Do Or Chose To Do, I Wanted It To Be Different From The Last Thing I Did, And I Think That's Why I Have A Good, You Know, I Had Kind Of A Diverse Kind Of Résumé. I'm Really - It's What I Set Out To Do As An Actor Originally.
