It was a wonderful movie. Very popular. Many people saw it. Oscar.

Catch Me If You Can.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.

I'd love to do a character with a wife, a nice little house, a couple of kids, a dog, maybe a bit of singing, and no guns and no killing, but nobody offers me those kind of parts.

I don't need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own.

And I remember sitting in my car, listening to that night ... when Kennedy and Khrushchev were facing off and it was very scary.
