How does it feel knowing that you're playing a character in a show that both of which will most assuredly be fondly remembered for generations to come? Do previous Jim Gordons give you inspiration, and do you worry that someone else will play a better Gordon or belittle your portrayal?

Inspired by Inception, because I suffer from vivid adult nightmares, I started using a personal item as my "totem" to check my reality and make sure I'm awake. Much to my surprise, in recent years, I've begun to have lucid dreams quite often, but I can never control them, only realize that I'm dreaming. Are there any empirical differences between "good" dreams and nightmares that could affect my lucid dreaming capability, and what are your thoughts on this method of lucid dreaming?

When I was a kid (circa 5th grade-ish era), I also took an interest in making my own board games. My friends and I would use offhand small pieces and large sheets of paper to make them, and it was tons of fun, if only for our own amusement.

Years later, as an adult, it's something I still think about a lot. What general advice about getting started would you give to someone who is brand new at it and thinking about doing the same thing?
