Acting

Quote_1.png
Harry Shearer
"I'm at a little loss in terms of my Leave It To Beaver expertise, since I never watched an episode of the show - so the cast in the pilot could have been Martians or they could have been the regular cast for all I know."

Expertise

Night

Quote_1.png
Harry Shearer

Quote_1.png
Harry Shearer

Reason

Quote_1.png
Harry Shearer
"I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation."

People
