“Hollywood, as we all know, is not run by the producers, it’s run by casting directors. Casting directors never watch what you’re on… so, I’ve spent my whole time sort of breaking down the walls, with the daytime, the night-time, and half-hour comedy,” Sheehan said about his career on a 1989 episode of The Arsenio Hall Show.
“They don’t know if I can do full-hour comedy yet, so I have to break through.”
Sheehan is survived by Cate Abert, he wife since 1981.
