ly its staff of writers and
producers.
"I believe it has some of the
best writing on television,"
Mandel says emphatically.
"Unlike other shows that re-
ly on mindless chase scenes
and shooting, St. Elsewhere's
action is confined to the hap-
penings inside a hospital. To
keep viewer interest week of-_
ter week, the show can't be
like Marcus Welby and re-
volve around one doctor who
continually saves patients
from rare diseases. Even reg-
ular characters can die on our
show, and there are good
physicians and ones that are
inept, which is like real life."
"The episode in which I
died and came back," Mandel
explained, "was actually tak-
en from the real life exper-
ience of one of our staff
members who died on the op-
erating table and came back.
Situations like that become
the inspiration for a story-
line."
Although his character on
the show is also Jewish, no
storyline has evolved around
that fact.
His obvious ability to shift
from comedy to dramatic
roles has kept the producers
interested in maintaining the
good guy role of Fiscus on St.
Elsewhere.
"I will stay on the show as
long as they will have me," he
says almost sheepishly.
When production schedules
are light, Mandel often gets
away from the set by noon to
spend time with Ibrri, his
wife of eight years and their
three-year-old daughter
Jackie.
Jackie has often been at the
center of many of his jokes. "I
didn't want to potty train her
at first," he says, "because
then all her dates would have
to bring her home early."
Even with all the child-
oriented humor, Mandel takes
his role as a father seriously
and fiercely protects his
daughter from outside influ-
ences and the price of fame.
Yet, all the attention that
Mandel himself has recently
received hasn't seemed to faze
him. He is constantly search-
ing for new material and new
ways to make people laugh.
"My material might be dif-
ferent if I was working a
Hassidic conference," he said
slyly No doubt it would be. 0
