So when I interviewed Gene Simmons many years ago, he said to me, if you want to welcome me with open arms, you'll also have to welcome me with open legs.

You're an actor, and you've been in so many things, but you're not a big celebrity.
Everybody's seen you in at least one thing.

You've been in his role in two shows.
And a funny thing happened on the way to the Forum.
But I want to get back to the fact that you're not a George Clooney-level celebrity.
But everybody seems to know you.
