LARRY DRAKE

I moved to Dallas in 1975 and stayed there until 1980. That's when I decided it was time to move to L.A.

I don't want my life to be about a house and a car.

As an actor, what I can do is tell the truth. At least, I hope I can tell the truth - a dramatic truth, but still an honest portrayal.

Love is a wonderful thing that one misses.

I can't be a role model. I just can't be.

I studied drama.

My parents did their best - that earns a lot of forgiveness. But they say children grow up in spite of their parents, and I think I did.

If I get too type-cast, that's the worst possible scenario.

I usually play big and mean, big and stupid, or big and funny.

The imperfections in my family made me learn to deal with things on my own and solve problems for myself.
