In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients - timing, chemistry, Hawaii.
You should hear the guy who dubs me in Japan. I like him the most. He has a high squeaky voice.
I give a percentage of the earnings to the Motion Picture Home.
But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today.
When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors.
I thought even if the show only lasted a year, it would be fun.
You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.
I got into the acting business very young.
Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we'd never hoped for!
Frankly - and believe me, I say this without any pretense - when I see the road I've taken, I have to say that thanks to good luck, because without good luck one can do nothing, I've come out pretty well.
Who knows what kind of life I might have had had I not been fortunate enough to have the parents I've had.
For years I have played the twenty-something lover.
I am happy to have now as Danny finally a more difficult role, in which I can shoot and fight.
If the woman in my life, the one that I felt I loved enough to want to marry, loved my children, I'd know then that her love for me was deeper than I could hope for.
A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.
