Q. Your characters Terry Biggs and Mike Lomax make a great pair, but if you had to choose, who would you pick to hang out with? Dave Lennox, London

A. Mike Lomax or Terry Biggs?  What’s the next question?  Donald Trump or Rosie O’Donnell?

Gut reaction, I’d pick Mike.  A couple of reasons.  While they both would be fun to hang with, Terry is a classic wiseass.  Not unlike, ahem… me. Mike, on the other hand, is funny — a guy’s guy — but he’s also not afraid to let us see some of the vulnerability, the sensitivity, and other
characteristics, that may not be considered macho, but make him an intensely likable three-dimensional character.

Terry is who I am.  Mike is who I try to be.  I probably could learn a thing or two from him.
