More quotes by Peter Jacobson
I wound up auditioning, wound up getting in, and I was off to the races: I was putting in four more years after school to train to be an actor. I was 26 years old, and I still had a locker, for Christ's sake!

Why things get canceled or not is so unbelievably out of actors' hands that it's one of those things where you've just got to ride with it.
Peter Jacobson
My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.
Peter Jacobson
I couldn't stop to be upset or depressed about anything when I was at Tiger Stadium with Billy Crystal shooting for three weeks. I was going to enjoy every second - even though apparently I didn't.

Peter Jacobson
In terms of what's going to actually happen to me in the story, down towards the end of the season, I'm dying to know, but I just don't ask. If it's something that I think will really affect how I play it and it's information I need to know, than I'll ask, for sure.
Peter Jacobson
Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.
Peter Jacobson
It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.
Peter Jacobson
I love working with Liev [Schreiber]. I've known him for a long time. I just think he is a master. Few actors are so self-possessed and so focused and so confident.
Peter Jacobson
I've never done real sci-fi. I've never played an alien. I've never played some sort of superhero. Which I'd love to do!
Peter Jacobson
Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.
