[Of Brian Keith, who played Judge Milton Hardcastle]: Brian has been a big help to me. Like most actors, I'd look away from the lights until the last moment, then try to look into them without tears. Keith told me that was the wrong way to do it. He said, 'I should keep looking at the lights, but with my eyes half-shut, squintly.' Then, when the cameras rolled, I could open them and it wouldn't be a problem. I didn't believe him, but it works. Hide

They helped me and I helped them. My gang was not very good with girls - quite a few of them are still unmarried. But when I was doing a soap opera in New York, the girls would come around, and I'd say, 'Hi, I'm Daniel Kelly and this is my friend, Frank Hunter. Hunt, she's all yours.' Hide

[About his characteristics that applied more to Brian Keith, who played Judge Milton Hardcastle]: As a matter of fact, it was my admiration for Brian that attracted me to the pilot for the series in the first place. I turned down seven other deals before accepting 'Hardcastle and McCormick.' It was partly because of the high quality writing in the script, but also because I thought Brian was the best. I can still quote whole lines from his films, especially 'The Wind and The Lion' and 'The Rare Breed.' Hide

[When he was on Ryan's Hope (1975)]: Oh yeah. It was one of the reasons I left, because I got pretty good at using them and I didn't know how good that was. Now that I'm older and I really need them, they don't have them. Hide

People don't recognize me for one specific thing; they just feel like they know me. I was at a bar last night watching the Yankee game. It's an old neighborhood haunt where I used to live and there were several people in there who recognized me and as usual they're not sure where I'm from. Sometimes, I think they think they had an affair with me and everyone was drunk or they think I went to high school with them. To be quite honest, I get off on that. I'm very polite about it, but it always comes down to 'Where do I know you from?' I'll tell them a show or a movie or something I've done, and they say, 'No, that's not it.' So you end up repeating a lot of your credits until very often I will say, 'We were drunk and it was a long time ago, but I thought you were good and I hope you thought I was.' And I kind of let it go at that because otherwise it does become insane. Hide
