I gloried in the whole experience. I was always on set. Days when I didn't have to work, I hung out with the Wranglers.
Yeah.
I saw this terrific movie. It was called Shemshunk.
They didn't know how to pronounce.
Oh, I just saw you in the Hudsucker production. No, the Hudsucker production. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha.
Oh, my God. Gee, how did you enjoy it?
Yeah.
I did a lot of prison movies. I was in Attica. I did the one with Robert Redford. Brubaker. Ah. Brubaker. Good point.
I really enjoyed working with David because I so tuned to what he was after. It gave me a lot of leeway. Did you learn about your powers a little bit in that movie? Just a little bit. I also twisted my ankle so bad running across the field there at the end. Oh, yeah, yeah. John Doe has the upper hand.
Yeah, it was not like running on level ground. I sprained my ankle. And then I think we did this shot seven or eight times. Of course. I stretched my tendon so badly. It's not back again. So my foot tends to roll over.
No. When did I feel anxious about work? On stage. The only time I had a part that I knew I couldn't do, I tried to do Othello. And I've asked a few actors, did you ever manage to get that? No. That's the one that, yeah. Oh, that's interesting. I've seen one actor play Othello and get it, nail it. And that was Laurence Olivier.
I walk out on stage opening evening. This is outside in Texas, in Dallas, at the Dallas Civic Light Opera. And I walk out on stage in this costume and somebody yells, sing Purple Haze. Oh, jeez. Oh, Jesus. My God.
That was it.
I don't know what it is that makes it impossible. I'm not sat and disgusted with any other actors. Ask Jimmy Jones, because he's done everything. I've done it five times, and I still haven't pulled it off. It's like Moby Dick.
Yeah, I know I can beat this guy. Yeah, I know I have it in me. I know I can.
He's Jack. I met him prior and told him I'd give him my left testicle.
He was asked if he'd do it, and he said, send me the script. I sent him the script, and he said, yeah, let's do it. So there we were, me and Jack Nicholson. Oh, man.
Yep.
I'll tell you, other than Clint, I had another icon, another idol. That was Gregory Peck. Interesting. Why? Well, all the things I'd seen him in, nothing ever came up to Moby Dick. I read Moby Dick some time ago. And that movie was every step in the book. They got it right. And he was awesome. First, I saw him. We were at one of those award things in Hollywood.
I had a seat kind of on the aisle, and he was coming up the aisle from the stage and jumped out and knelt down.
