#Quote
1They 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.'
2[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.'
3People 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.
4[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.
5[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.
#Fact
1His acting mentors were/are Helen Gallagher and the late Brian Keith.
2Attended and graduated from Roselle Catholic High School in 1970.
3His father was a police officer/detective and his mother was a social worker.
4Virile, curly-haired American leading man from the 1970s stage who earned initial notice as a daytime television hunk (Frank Ryan in Ryan's Hope (1975)), then moved to prime time in the 1980s with his own series (Hardcastle and McCormick (1983) opposite Brian Keith).
5Starred in the acclaimed Broadway revivals of "Born Yesterday" as Paul Verrall opposite Madeline Kahn and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as Brick opposite Kathleen Turner.
6After several years in regional repertory with the Folger Theatre, Arena Stage (D.C.), and the Actors Theater of Louisville (Kentucky), went home to New York in 1977 where one of his first roles was in the Public Theatre's production of "Miss Margarita's Way" starring Estelle Parsons.
7Received his B.A. from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. After touring for a year with the National Players, the oldest classical touring company in the nation, he was offered a scholarship to pursue his M.F.A. at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
8It was while doing a test for the daytime soap opera "General Hospital" that ABC decided instead to cast him in "Ryan's Hope".
