Notes on Daniel J Travanti

"'Hill Street Blues' gets over mentioned. I can't help that. It is a very interesting yet difficult situation to be in. Most of my career I was not well known so the success element does not loom large in my life. However, my role on the series will always be the turning point, the melodramatic movie magazine switch that people like to hear about ... It does bother me but it is inevitable and unavoidable, and I just do the best I can with it and move on to other projects." --Daniel J. Travanti

"I've been doing mostly mediocre material. I might pretend to others that it was okay, but it wasn't." --Daniel J Travanti in USA Today, November 11, 1993.

Like his "Hill Street Blues" character Captain Frank Furillo, Travanti is a recovering alcoholic.
