Do you hear that a lot from female fans?

[Laughs]A harrowing episode to be sure.

Women are very frightened by the content of that one indeed.

In the emergency room.

A very profound and deeply movingDoogie.

[Laughs]

Millions of hearts are breaking however, that would be a fantastic reunion movie.Thats true.

Now on to the important questions: Did you get to keep the acid-washed jean jacket?

[Laughs] I unfortunately didnt.

The acid-washed jeans were, I think, out of style even then.

I tried to bring the bouffant back in the first three-quarters of season 1, to no avail.

I just bought some Dube juggling knives and swords.

Are you serious?Yeah, theyre not sharp, theyre juggling style, but its cool.

Ive yet to juggle five.

I can juggle three, I can juggle four, but I never accomplished five.

On the show, I had to learn a fair amount of stuff really quickly.

I had to learn Japanese in a day.

I had to learn sign language.

Since he was a genius, they would throw all sorts of interesting, who-knew-he-could-do-that things at me.

Like practicing suturing on raw chicken breasts.

You mention that on the DVD.Yeah, that was the best.

They gave us suture packs, and told us to go to Ralphs and get a chicken breast.

And actually, we would use raw chicken on set.

Theyd cover all the edges of it with gauze and such, so it looked essentially like skin.

You got to suture fast, thats one of those believability issues.

You also mention that you have a serious dance phobia.

Discuss.I dont like the scrutiny.

I have a very large forehead.

I have a pronounced skull.

Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.

Joking aside, I am relatively cerebral.

I think things through a lot, so I probably use my head more than my heart.

That probably comes through in my acting.

Revisiting theseDoogieepisodes, what do you think people will be most surprised about?

For me, it was seeing how racy it was.

Vinnie and Doogie constantly talked about sex.I never thought about that.

I hope that when people watch the first season again, they appreciate just the writing element of it.

Kids didnt feel like it was talking down to them.

People who come up and say things are almost always very nice.
