“Knock wood, but I started acting professionally when I was 16, and I've always b…” — Anthony Edwards

To think one film makes a career is ridiculous. It's important to keep perspective and do things other than for money.

I just spent a lot of time on 'ER' for that eight years. I also started working when I was 16, so by the time I left 'ER,' I was 40 years old, I had this incredible experience, my wife had this great company, we had four kids, it was like, 'Let's go to New York and live for a while and make that the priority.'

You know, you never say never because before I did 'ER,' I always said 'I'll never do a TV series,' so that's what I said.

There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.
