Bill Scheft Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. If you ever forget you're a Jew, a gentile will remind you.
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. When people try to put me to work for them.
Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?
A. I would love to meet Philip Roth and ask him why he didn't take the alter ego concept to its logical conclusion and publish "Carnovsky" by Nathan Zuckerman.

Q. What are your most overused words or phrases?
A. "Does this look infected?"
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. "Buffalo Bill" Bittinger, played to the hilt for two too short seasons by Dabney Coleman
