More quotes by Eric McCormack
Most people, if you live in a big city, you see some form of schizophrenia every day, and it’s always in the form of someone homeless. “Look at that guy - he’s crazy. He looks dangerous.” Well, he’s on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home...

Whenever I see Tom [ Cavanagh] - we're good friends - we just mourn that we didn't get a longer shot.

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through.
Eric McCormack
Often, particularly with voices, you're hearing horrible things, demon voices, and voices telling them that they're not worth it or that they're going to kill somebody. In those moments, they're overcoming things.

[The Lost world] was a learning experience. I remember we were shooting a scene in which I dive out of a boat into a river to save the kid that's in the movie. And there's no mention of a stuntman, and I was like, No, I'll go in. Nobody questioned. I never asked if maybe there was malaria in the water. And I was wearing these tall boots.
Eric McCormack
We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.

I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.

At home in L.A., Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee, watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually, breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.

I think there's a certain objectivity that comes from being Canadian. You're partly British and partly American you have a good bird's-eye view of both countries. So much of the comedy that comes out of Canada is impersonation - it's less 'look at me' than it is 'look at me playing other people.

I really liked it [The Andromeda Strain], and I don't know that it ever had the effect they were hoping for. I don't know if they got the audience we were hoping for. But I thought it was very fun, and I loved the character [Jack Nash] I was playing.
Eric McCormack
I have a big, long episode [in Full Circle] with Calista [Flockhart], and then my character actually carries out through a lot of it because he was a cop investigating this crime. But it is almost hard to remember, even though it wasn't that long ago. We shot it so fast. We literally shot that whole episode in one day.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

I'd done a pilot [of Townies] with Caroline Rhea [Pride & Joy] that didn't go anywhere.
Eric McCormack
I did five episodes of Townies as Jenna Elfman's boyfriend. I was a guest star, but it was the first time I really got to play laughs in front of a sitcom audience.
Eric McCormack
As much as I loved [Al] Pacino and [Robert] De Niro and wanted to be a dramatic actor, I also grew up on sitcoms.
Eric McCormack
I was raised on 'Get Smart' and 'All in the Family' and 'M.A.S.H.,' and certainly when 'Cheers' came along, that was a big one.

My wife is a real camper it's a nice way to bond.

When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.

[Jack Nash from The Andromeda Strain] was not in the original film, but he was kind of a Geraldo Rivera almost kind of reporter that had a drug addiction. We start the story in rehab, and then he gets the roots of the story. I loved him.

The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they've got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It's another one where we're racing to save humanity.
