Again, I prepared very well. I realized that this would be a second hit television show I could be involved in. I looked at it like two NBA Championships in a row. I didn't shave for two days and wore the dirtiest, grubbiest clothes I had, since this guy was an undercover street cop. I read for Barney Rosensweig and Diane again. At the end of this wonderful audition, (and I didn't spit), Barney looked at me and said, "You've got the part." Right there.

I remember driving home on the freeway, and I burst into tears thinking, I wish my mom were alive for this. Two days later, I was co-starring in a show that had just won an Emmy for Best Television Drama, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.
