And we ended up building a building.
Are you still very heavily involved in that?
No, no.
You know, I support.
I support, but September 11th changed everything for me.
I was in New York that year doing one of our shows.
And it was a Broadway show, big hit, all of that.
It closed about six weeks before the attack of 9-11.
And
I was profoundly impacted by that whole incident and everything changed for me.
I just decided that's when I got super heavily involved in all this and I didn't go back and do plays after that.
That was the last play I did because I turned towards service and
volunteerism and raising money for our veterans and entertaining them and building houses for wounded, all these different things that we do.
That became the mission.
I ended up getting a TV series after that, which was lucrative and very, very good at the time.
To have a television series right at the time that I was getting so involved in all of this was a great benefit, not only financially, but when you have a public platform like that, you're on television every week.
and it's a hit show and it's doing well uh i had a i had a megaphone i could get up and talk about what i was doing on uso tours and visiting the hospitals and talking about all that and it gave me a good reputation in the community and i got so busy with all of that i haven't been back to do theater since
You fuming okay?
Made that up.
A problem in what way, Woody?
