He doesnt mind it.
It was an iconic show and a great role, he says.
And I’ve been really lucky to do a lot of different stuff since.
Gilford is having a blast.
I’ve never really done a comedy, he notes.
People are always like, you’re funny.
You should be in a comedy.
I’m like, thanks; tell some comedy director to cast me.
So it’s been fun to show a little more of that side of me.
This season’s great.
