He said about his Herb Tarlek character: 'Herb is the kind of guy who gets so drunk at a business dinner that he forgets to make the deal. He is tasteless. Look at the clothes he wears, and the pinky ring. He's a redneck, a bigot and a hypocrite. He's the kind of guy who has a lovely wife at home and yet always tries to hit on some other woman, he's so insecure about his manhood that he hides a .38 revolver in the night stand next to his bed, and on weekends, mostly, he stays at home and hides.'
