"For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to ..." — Dennis Franz

I consider myself fortunate that I've been able to find a character that people have responded to.

I am not interested in considering another TV series. This one was a wonderful experience which will be hard to top, and It's caused me to turn down several good film opportunities because of the schedule.

Changes have taken place since year one. When Caruso left, that was a big change. We've been able to adapt nicely. It's given us new opportunities for different characters and story lines.

I'm not one of these actors who feels a pressing need to direct, and I have no plans to do it.
