"Give me a
$1,000 Hard Eight!"

“I was on a real roll. Since I left Law and Order, I made six films. The whole reason I left Law and Order was I wanted to have a life. That show was a huge commitment. I said to myself I would never do series television again.

So when I read the scripts for E-Ring, the new NBC Washington based political suspense thriller, I called up my wife and said this is something I HAVE TO DO. They were THAT good.”
