In a recent interview with his wife Alyson in People Magazine (I will have to look it up), she said that he has gotten over the BP and has gotten a lot better. I never believed it was the BP that was keeping him from working. I think it is his marriage to Hannigan that is preventing him from working. The reason I think this is because when he was doing the play All My Sons in England, she said in an interview that she did not like him being away from her and doing the play. So I guess to make her happy he gave up his career for hers. She did say that he is a very good cook, and all her friends like coming over to eat at their house. Also in one of the last Buffy/Angel Magazines, the producers of HIMYM said that he likes to hang around the set a lot. Maybe he brings goodies he has cooked to the Teamsters and other workers on the set. I also noticed that there is a lot of performers that are working today (including several A-List stars) that also suffer from the effects of Bell's Palsy. Hasn't stopped them from working.
