Michael Gaston, who plays Gray Anderson on Jericho, has had a long and expansive career in television. Gaston has been featured in Prison Break, CSI, Law & Order, The Practice, The West Wing, Without a Trace, NCIS, Ed, Ally McBeal, and The Sopranos, among others. His new show, Jericho, became of TV's surprise hits in the fall and continues to garner a large fan base. Michael talked to us at BuddyTV yesterday about how he got into the business and his experiences on Jericho.

Can you give us a little information about how you got into acting in the first place? How’d you break into the business?

Well, I did it in kind of a backwards sort of way. All the way through high school and into college what I thought I was going to be was a teacher. I originally thought I wanted to be a teacher and then all my teachers told me what a lousy profession it was and counseled me against it and - this is how sad things are in the state of education in America - my teachers told me I was too smart to be a teacher. I wasn’t really much of a science or math kid so the only thing we knew about was law, and the only think I knew about law was movies…and that seemed cool.
