ADD QUOTES
- Alan: (on "Neighbours", the show that started his career) I didn't like it there, they were not nice people. They treated us badly, so I don't owe them anything. They sell it [the show] all over the world, make millions and still not a dollar for us [the actors]. It was just so awful, so I didn't go back for the 20th anniversary thing.
  Edit Share Hide
- Alan Dale: (About his part in Lost) It's funny you should say that, because my publicist rang me about it just after she saw it, because I didn't tell anyone I was doing that. And she said she was very concerned, because how could I possibly do both [shows]? I don't know the answer to that. I was delighted to be asked to do it. I loved the character; it was only one scene, but it was a really nice scene, and I agree with you. And Ian [Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Desmond], the guy I was working with, is a lovely guy, and I was thinking, it could well be… I might be able to do both. It's not usual, but…
  Edit Share Hide
- Alan Dale: (About his interaction with Betty on Ugly Betty) I think they're probably going to spend more time with the intrigue of what happens at the [magazine] and all that sort of stuff, probably. I won't have much to do with her. I mean little bits; I'll have a scene here and there. The episode we're shooting now, I'm with her. But mostly, it's just like I don't even really know that she exists in a way
