What people are saying
Back then, we really didn't realize how impactful the show was going to be.
It's so special when you can work on these sets. I shoot like a movie a year.
I wouldn't have the career I have today without the show.
I would not have the reach, I would not have the knowledge, I would not have the understanding or the opportunities without the show.
