Television, as you know, can kind of jettison you into a whole new world.

Not to sound too pathetic, but there have been long stretches where I haven't been able to get a job.

It really comes down to the fact that, because I was perceived as a bad guy for leaving the show, I think people were rooting against the movies. That was really unfortunate.

I went from a guy, kind of a working actor, a supporting player, to magazine covers and being offered the studio pictures really quickly. Nobody was comfortable with it. I wasn't really comfortable with it.
