With Yale, my world got so big all of a sudden. At school, if you could dream it, someone would make it so that you could do it. It was magical.

I did love Dirty Sexy Money (2007) quite a lot. I loved my tenure at Scrubs (2001) quite a lot. ER (1994) might have been my favorite guest star thing. We Were Soldiers (2002) meant a lot to me. Show less «

When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.

I want to find a man and have a family.
