ADD QUOTES
- Scott: (in 2010 about a Quantum Leap movie) This is all I know. I have spoken with Don and he's been approached by a producer to write a script and produce a Quantum Leap film. He's intending to do that and has begun work on it. And my understanding is that Dean and I may have a small cameo element to the movie. But it hasn't been written yet. So we'll see.
  Edit Share Hide
- Scott: (on the end of Enterprise) I have to say that when I first read the script I was off-put by it. I had a long talk with Rick (Berman) and Brannon (Braga) about it and they explained their idea and philosophy to me. I don't know that I ever… Gosh, the end of anything is always hard to write. It was a little odd, but that was their call.
  Edit Share Hide
- Scott: (on his Men Of A Certain Age character) He's not quite as down to earth because he's an actor, so he's still got a little bit of that heightened – he's allowed to get away with a little theatrical behavior, so to speak.
