"We made one rule that we would try not to work together if possible. For example, I wrote a feature a year ago that I thought she would happen to be right for. She read it, she liked it, and the next day I was fired off the project," he said.
"Boston Legal" stars James Spader (search) and William Shatner (search) as two eccentric lawyers.
