I Did Feel Dr. Cox, The Character That I Was Auditioning For, Was Too Similar To The Head Of The Hospital. He Was Too Arrogant And Mean. I Approached Him Kind Of Like I Had A Miniature Max Sitting On My Shoulder. I Pictured Max Saying, This Guy Has Got To Give Love Every Once In A While. He Has To! I Knew There Had To Be Tiny Little Windows Of Redemption.

Dr. Cox mentors the rookie doctors with a spoonful of dirt and then a cup of sugar. I see him as an archetypal descendent of two of my favorite curmudgeonly characters: Lou Grant and Louie De Palma.
