Shooting Star
Huh. I turned on the comments, but it seems like all anyone wanted to talk
about was Texas Hold 'em. I'm not sure what that is, so I turned it off.
My career. What a ride it's been. I think Frank Sinatra said that, and my
career has been the same. Except with Jimmy Smits instead of Sammy Davis.
The key to acting is to be a GOOD ACTOR. I know that sounds obvious, but I
started out doing "Taming of the Shrew" on TV, and man, Shakespeare is hard.
You have to really know what you're doing.
The second key is to MAKE CHOICES. I mean, I was huge after "Clash of the
Titans." Huge. I probably could have done Clash II, III, and so on. Like
Stallone or Schwarzenhagger. Heck, it could be Governor Hamlin instead of
Governor Shwartzenhager! And unlike Arnold, I could be President because I
was born in Pasadena! But I chose not to do the action hero thing. I decided
to be brave and play a gay guy. It was ahead of it's time--Tom Hanks got an
Oscar for doing that later. (I'm not gay, though--I've been with some A-list
babes!)
But my real break of course was playing Michael Kuzak on "L.A. Law. "That
was a great career move, really. I mean, I could have done other things
after "Clash." I could have been "Superman" instead of Reeves, but look how
that worked out for that poor bastard. I'm an actor first. I remember when I
saw "Killing Fields," I thought, "I could have done that role so much
better." I mean, nothing against Haing Ngor, but I've done Shakespeare.
Since "L.A. Law," of course, my career has been one triumph after another. I
mean, some guys, like Smits, just bounce from series to series, joining it
late, when no one really cares anymore. But I don't do that. I'm a MOVIE
STAR. I've done some more T.V., but even there, everyone knows I'm a movie
star. It's just like the Shakespeare or the sexy thing. It just never leaves
you.
