Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero - maybe ever - because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That's why he's such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
Kids, adults, men, women, everybody has a relationship with Mickey Mouse.
People of a certain age still remember me as Edna Garrett. They often want to give me a hug because the character was so warm and nurturing. I don't mind at all. I think it's very nice.
Big Bird was the biggest star, I mean, children's favorite for a number of years. I have a 22-year-old granddaughter whose first words were 'Big Bird.'
The depth of John Candy's talent did surprise me. He was one of my all-time favorite leading men.
Rest in peace, Harold Lederman. When I was younger, my brother and I used to imitate his famous 'OK, Jim!' line while watching the big 'HBO Boxing' events. What an amazing character he was, and while I never met him, he seemed to be a lovely man.
When I got to sit in Big Bird's nest with Big Bird and sing the song, 'Sing. Sing a song. Sing out loud,' that was my crowning achievement.
You cannot go wrong with Bugs Bunny. He's the coolest cartoon character ever. I quote him all the time.
'Peter Pan' is tried and true - it's a story that everybody knows.
Julie Andrews is so iconic, and I grew up watching 'The Sound of Music' - it's every girl's dream to play Maria, in a way, I think. That music!
We have such a long, familiar history with Peter Falk. The minute his mug is on that screen people smile.
New York lost a classic. Carmine was an old school New Yorker.
John Grisham is one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
I was a big 'Charlie Brown' fan as a kid.
Whether it's as the hero of an adventure story, as teacher and friend, as icon on watch, shirt or hat - everyone knows Mickey Mouse.
In terms of characters I wish I had created - just because I haven't dealt with anything like them - I'm really impressed by characters who can endure over time, whether that be a long series run like a Harry Bosch, or a character who endures over generations and continues to please readers: Sherlock Holmes.
Rich Aurelia was my favorite growing up.
It was like meeting someone out of your dreams, or fantasies, or a beloved character from a favorite book.
It's much harder to play beloved than to play a rotten guy. Rotten guy is a piece of cake. So playing a beloved person really sets a high bar for your behavior and your acting and what you project.
Millions of people thought Archie was a happy hero.
I gotta say, Pluto is such a great character, and if I ever got to work with him, I'd be very happy. The scene where he gets caught in fly paper, he's such a great dog!
Scott Wilson (Hershel) is a god among men
No one can replace McDreamy!
Arjun is very close to my heart, and even the audiences associate me with the character.
I think Kyle Chandler is something of a national treasure.
