Personal Quote:

When I play a good guy, I try to explore them and figure out what shapes them and makes them interesting. When I'm playing a bad guy, I try to explore everything that makes them good. No one ever really thinks that they're a bad guy.

Trivia:

Also co-starred in several of the made-for-TV Perry Mason movies in the 1980s alongside his famous mother, Barbara Hale, and Raymond Burr. His role in those movies was as Paul Drake Jr., a private detective, somewhat reprising the role of William Hopper in the original Perry Mason (1957) TV series. See more »
