Dennis: (asked if his acting takes a toll on his personal life) I usually don’t divulge too much about my personal life but yet, it makes it hard when you’re really busy all the time. It’s hard on relationships. I’m divorced, so that should tell you something.
Dennis: (why he felt so strongly about his 24 character being assassinated) We have this legacy in this country and in the world of killing our leaders - especially our beloved leaders - and this character was very beloved. I know it upset a lot of people because I see people in the street all the time and they tell me. It felt wrong to have him killed off that way.
