- Gavin MacLeod: (on fame while playing Stubing on "The Love Boat") I went to my (on-camera) captain's table one morning at 7 o'clock and there was Helen Hayes, Maurice Evans, and Mildred Natwick. When I was a little kid I went to the theater to see them.
  Edit Share Hide
- Gavin MacLeod: (on his first interest in acting as a profession) When I was four years old I was in a Kindergarten play. I took my bow at the end and got applause. That told me, these people like me. I knew from that moment I wanted more of that.
  Edit Share Hide
- Gavin Macleod: (speaking about his infamous role as the oily drug dealer "Big Chicken" on the show "Hawaii Five-O") But the character was so successful - that first one - that they wrote him again and he came in right at the end of the first year in a show called "The Box." I was up for an Emmy for that one too.
