The article is from 2002, but it's new to me! :-)

My favorite quote from this article:
As he dreams of Chekhov and Shaw and more Ibsen, Emerson can now look back with fondness on his lean years. "As much as I like my theater life now, there was something wonderful about the days when I was painting houses in the broiling Florida sun by day and doing community theater by night," he says with a smile. "The labor was good for the body and relatively mindless, so it gave me plenty of time to go over my lines again and again. You can get a lot of rehearsing down while you're painting a house! It's great therapy."
I'm reminded of that Diet Coke commercial where the women are gathered at the window in their office to watch this hott guy who's doing construction nearby....may as well have been a housepainter in the broiling sun, eh?
