It's funny - the reason I started doing a podcast was because every time I was on someone else's podcast, I would take it over a little bit.
I am working with writers and producers to have a more proprietary relationship over shows, having more ownership and creative control.
I've avoided doing a network comedy, because I wouldn't get my own way. Even though it would get more viewers, it wouldn't be mine.
You want a place where you can say that this is your show that you invested in with other actors, but there's also that flexibility of being a recurring actor.
When I was playing Bishop, I would always walk on set thinking, 'This is my show; this is a show all about me.'
I can't imagine bringing in somebody else to direct my show. Wouldn't that be funny, if next season I had, like, Michael Bay come in and direct 'Better Things'? I wonder what that would be like?
Robert Herring had enough trust in me to think I could carry my own show.
Even though you're in charge you're not completely in ownership. You know, the audience takes a huge ownership of your show.
Jay Leno is wonderful and a good friend, but it will always be the Carson show to a lot of people.
Even though you're in charge, you're not completely in ownership. You know, the audience takes a huge ownership of your show. Look at comments about shows and tell me if I'm wrong. Look at shows like 'The Walking Dead' and the ownership that the audience has of that show.
