As Danson mused, “People think there’s a shelf life to creativity and contributing to life. There isn’t.”

The publication noted a few of the actor’s more recent projects. The actor recently took on the role of a retired professor who infiltrates a nursing home in A Man on the Inside. He was also noted to be working on a new podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name.

Danson married actress Mary Steenburgen in 1995 and cited her as an influence in his life. As he noted, “I’m married to Mary Steenburgen, so whenever I become self-deprecating, full of doubt, which I do on a regular basis, she lovingly goes, ‘Snap out of it,’ and kind of forces me out the door.”

“But part of acting is also always starting off at zero. It’s a pretty good place to start any project.”
