So I was talking to a lovely young lady today who asked me if I missed working on television. That really got me thinking. Sure the early calls were kind of a drag. But there is something to be said about having to be somewhere everyday. It’s easy, it’s like a built in social life. Everyday i went and got to hang out with my friends, my family... (I wonder are any other NX alums here???) Look at me now. I sit in my house - and as I told her - I have read every magazine in the house. That’s pathetic isn’t it!
When I did Northern Exposure I was incredibly lucky. The show had great writing, and we had the freedom to let our characters take us where they did. David Chase contacted me to see if I was interested in maybe doing something on the Sopranos, but I just couldn’t fit it in. Plus I’m a sucker for romantic stuff, and well honestly there isn’t a whole lot of that on the Sopranos. I guess that’s why I pick a lot of the projects that I do. Raising Helen, Serendipity, Greek Wedding. Even if I don’t get the girl, like in Serendipity, there is something I really like about the dynamics of romantic stories. I enjoy the complicated emotional interaction. Something that’s lacking in my life - and I miss it. Yes, insane as it sounds…I do miss it.
Last night I was inspired to rent a dvd of a movie called Formula 51. It was really entertaining, and I liked the message of the movie too. It was anti-drugs but without being preachy about it. It was funny, and had lots of action. Admittedly the real reason I rented it was because I was curious to see someone who is in the movie. But I ended up really enjoying the movie which is always a plus. In fact I watched it again earlier today, since I don’t have anything I haven’t read in the house.
