[on his television series
Airline (1982)] It was one of the most enjoyable
programs I ever made. Learning to fly those old DC-3s was terrific.
And I enjoyed playing Ruskin enormously because he had hope. Of course,
he was a pain up the tushie most of the time, but then you'd see that
youthful desire to actually get out and triumph against enormous odds.
I identified with that character the most.
