You ended up working with a ton of very young actors on Shameless and many who have gone on to do great things. Did you see them making the same dumb mistakes that you did when you were young? >> Yes. Mark Milo directed the pilot. We rehearsed for about a week or 10 days and then on the last day Mark said, “It’s been a great week. You’re going to go to a miniature golf course and just go have a good time.” And he starts to walk away and I go, “Whoa, whoa. Is this an acting exercise? Are we going in character? I’m too old for this man. I’m not going to go do an improv >> Yeah. >> with these people at a batting cage. It’s not going to happen.” And he said, “No, no, no. All I’m asking you to do is go play miniature golf.” We got there and um we got in line and and Emma Kenny got in front of me and she goes bump and the ball goes and they go oh do over do over and she goes bump and they go and she go do over do and I’m standing there where Emma can’t hit the freaking ball just roll it that way you know just hit it once and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and finally I go in and I sweep her aside and I said I’m playing through and I shot through and you know I got to the second hole and I thought, I think I just discovered this character.
