James was my given name, but I was a junior; so I was Jamie as a kid.
When I came out here, my manager thought that casting directors might think I'm a girl, and when I did Threat Matrix, they thought Jamie was a little light.
My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.
The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.
They're pretty particular about what they show. They certainly edit the scripts and have conversations with the writers about what they are and aren't willing to portray. But the writers and the network are pretty much on the same page.
It's still about the women. It's not called Desperate Plumber. People are more interested in cat fights.
I think it helps a lot when they tell people that Teri Hatcher likes you. If you're Teri Hatcher's boyfriend, suddenly you're hunky I guess. I've spent 40 years being average and now I'm Teri hatcher's boyfriend and here we are. I've been really fortunate.
I was born and raised in the South, which is pretty conservative.
I love David Caruso. I know it's not cool, but I do. I watch CSI: Miami. I think he's interesting.
I still treat every job as if I might never get hired again as far as the way I save money and live really modestly.
And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show, and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and, thankfully, he did.
And they didn't have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms, they were real people. I think that's why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much, right off the bat.
I have a long track record of really horrible relationships and a divorce behind me; so I'm not the guy to ask. I just got really fortunate with this one.
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
I saw a story in the Los Angeles Times that 40 percent of the viewers are men. It didn't really surprise me.
I think it's important that the rest of the world know that we're not all the same and that we don't all have the sort of arrogance it feels like they're perceiving from our leaders.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
I'm not a hard-line Republican, because I'm a lot more open-minded than that.
I'm off at least three or four days a week, so it's a perfect job, really.
I'm pro-choice and those things, but I typically vote Republican.
