HAHAHAHA!

Yes. There was an episode of HERCULES where I played "the Sovereign," and he's sort of an alter-ego bilateral universe version of Hercules. And he's the EVIL Hercules.

And many fans of the show thought that when I yelled out "DISAPPOINTED!" in that episode, that I mis-read the script. The script didn't say anything. I had a line before that - I said "Wait a minute, this isn't my world." Because I ended up in Hercule's world. And I then I went "DISAPPOINTED!" the way Kevin Kline does.

I ad-libbed on the show a lot. Michael Hurst and I would both throw in lines, words, whatever. And I'm a big fan of A FISH CALLED WANDA. And Kevin Kline would yell out "DISAPPOINTED!" when he was disappointed in the movie. So it seemed to make sense at the time. And they kept it in. And it went viral. People thought I said something wrong. And I love it, I'll take the press either way.

It was a wonderful character to play. It's fun to do characters that aren't you, that's why I act. I think that's why most actors act. And the success of the movie speaks for itself.

I had an aneurysm. It formed in my left sub-clavicle. And I didn't know it. Until it was too late. And when it completely opened up in my body, it sent hundreds of clots in my left arm, and three of them went into my brain. 2 went to my balance center, 1 went to my vision. And I spent the next 4 months learning how to walk again, and balance myself. And I wrote a book, called True Strength - you can go to http://truestrengthbook.com to learn more - and I probably do a dozen speaking events a year, speaking to bookstores, and doctors, and all kinds of places.

I loved the character. That's why I took the part. I have atheist friends, I have agnostic friends, I have friends who have faith. I am a Christian myself, but I can have debates with my atheist friends and still part as friends.

The character was based on people I've seen on cable shows that actually have clubs for atheists - they're like presidents of organizations - and I always found that funny, that they were so angry and mad at people for believing in God. I don't get it - if you don't believe in something, why are you angry about it?

I don't believe in vegetables. Knock yourselves out.

But these guys are filled with so much anger towards anything that's religious - I don't get it. Why are you offended by a Nativity Scene? Then you should be equally offended by the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus.

It was a $2 million dollar movie. It made over $100 million dollars in box office. So obviously it struck a chord with people. Because it was the most successful independent movie last year, and by far the most successful movie, dollar-for-dollar, last year. And no studio picked it up, it was an independent movie.

So I think they're kicking themselves, that they put out a $300 million NOAH movie and only made $150 million in the States.

And the thing is - it's a character. There's a reason there's hundreds of television channels. Whatever you do, whatever you say in life, you're always going to get somebody upset about it. But i don't let that worry me. If you don't like that movie, watch another movie. There are plenty of movies out there. Watch a movie that's atheist. They're out there! Hollywood makes 'em!

Michael and I email at least once every 2 months. I'm very busy with what I got going on, Michael's very busy with what he's got going on - he's directing down in New Zealand still, he's doing a lot of plays, he's a big theatrical guy. But I will be seeing Michael soon in Australia - we're doing 2 comic-cons together, iN Perth and Adelaide. It'll be fun!
