Right.
I remember him telling us about how that he he became a born again Christian because an angel had appeared to him.
He was in a restaurant and he appeared to him.
He was a waiter, but he had long blonde hair and he told him that he hoped he would find the Lord and and and and work with him.
And and and I guess told him the specials.
But I.
He was very much a believer after that experience.
Every day he had a big idea to go off on.
John Guare, here's two things I don't know if you're aware of.
Norman Lear, in an interview, said that he had offered Mickey Rooney the role of Archie Bunker.
And he turned it down, but he did do one of the boys.
And then John Guare, the playwright John Guare told me when he wrote House of Blue Leaves, they had offered it to Mickey Rooney and he met with him in a hotel room.
And when John said, I came in the hotel room and he started doing like the opening monologue from the play.
And he thought, wow, I guess he's going to do it.
He loves it so much.
He's already learned something.
And so he then finished and he said, wow, Mickey, that's incredible that you know all that.
And he said, I love your play, but I can't do it.
I'm about to start a chain restaurant called Mickey Rooney's Corned Beef and Brew.
And get this, we're going to hire little people to be the waiters, but they'll be dressed as leprechauns.
