Thanks Teresa for another great article. It makes my heart beat harder to think Tony would consider doing more Monk after his current contract is up - if the PTB are still willing.

Thanks, Teresa, this article is so good. I like to hear about acting in general from Tony, and personal things about his acting. That I'd like to hear much more about.
