I remember going to the grocery store with my mom as a child and seeing the TV Guide at the checkout counter and wanting to buy it, but we couldn’t afford it. We were able to buy only those products that we could, and nothing extra came into our house. And now I’m on the cover of a special edition, and I’ve been working on it. I’m next to the guy from Magnum PIwhich I grew up with.”

He continues, “Not only does it put the show in perspective, but it also puts into perspective how lucky we all are on the show (in perspective). I’m sure the entire cast and crew worked most of their lives to be a part of something that could be at least part of that success.
