“I suffer from the same frustration that every other actor does. I'm not a star. I'm a character actor.”

“Dobie was a wonderful show, and I'll be grateful my whole life to Max Shulman.”

“I'm the only actor in the history of television who's been on the air every single day for 30 years.”

“Everybody thought I was a spoiled brat... and I wasn't.”

“It was the first series on television that was from the kid's point of view. It was a big hit.”

“I wanted to be a bigger star than I was. I was a character actor. I'm a character actor. I was never a leading man.”

“I thought I wanted to be an architect. So I went to Loyola University, and I did very well... Then the series came along.”

“The first year of the show, I was still going to Loyola. So I was a full-time student and a full-time actor.”
