The Academy Award-nominated actor, who stars opposite Sarah Jessica Parker in the HBO show "Divorce," gives Salon a behind-the-scenes look at the show's cast and crew and insight into how Church and Parker handle the heavy topic of divorce on the show.

Church describes his lifestyle off set at his Texas ranch and how it's remarkably different from "Divorce," set in the suburbs of New York City. Plus, Church, who played Jack in the Alexander Payne film "Sideways," reacts to the merlot business finally turning around after the 2004 film gave it a bad rap.
