It's great if you're a hard worker, but in order to have a fulfilling life, it can't be all work, all the time. If you work hard, you've got just as much of a right to play hard and find some hobbies that make your day more enjoyable. 

For example, Martin Milner was a passionate actor, but it wasn't the only thing in his life. According to an article in The Vancouver Sun, Milner moved himself and his family out of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles so that they could move to an avocado ranch. Still working as an actor, Milner would then have to make the drive from his own slice of paradise over to the Adam-12 set to shoot an episode.

However, he never complained. Milner stated, "It isn't bad. It's only about two hours, each way." Milner also said that his reason for the move was for the children.

Still, Milner wasn't trying to trade the life of an actor for the life of a farmer. He was simply aware that his work shouldn't consume him. He stated, "This show is about as hard as I want to work." The shooting schedule took up a little less than half of Milner's week, which meant that he had more time to spend with his family and work on his hobbies.

Martin Milner was, by his own admission, ''dull''

Milner spoke to The Leader-Post and said, "I can't imagine doing anything else. Being an actor is something I'll probably do all my life. I'm sure I won't always be working as hard as I do now, but I'll keep working as long as I can do the kind of things I want to do. I can fish, play golf, and  go to the theatre with Judy [his wife] whenever we come to New York, and travel, and just enjoy life."
