He called you dear boy. Yeah, and it has a power to it. Oh, yes. And so the next day, Scott Rudin said, you really want to do this movie?

And he said, it means we have to postpone a year. And I said, I know. I said, I know. I turned it down. He said, OK. And then it wound up, of course, helping us with Forum, because by the time Forum opened, the movie had come out. And I was not just this New York actor who was, you know, had lucked out in getting this the lead in this musical.

But it was always the guy from that film that's doing well. Right. So it was Jason Alexander, Jason Alexander. And so it so it's one thing helped the other. And, you know, so I'm grateful to Scott Rudin, Mike Nichols, Robin Williams. It was, you know.

Yeah, we just did this thing at the Hollywood Bowl. I think it's airing soon. It was a 30th anniversary, I can't believe that, concert of Jennifer Hudson and a lot of people from the original cast and the new people and people from the Broadway show. It was quite the extravaganza. But it was fun to be reunited with Ernie Sabella, who played Pumbaa, and he's an old friend.

Yeah. Again, sort of like, you know, as a kid seeing those Disney films and I was always sort of fascinated by the voice actors. And so to wind up doing that and with a movie that started as something called King of the Jungle and nobody seemed to be excited about it. And and and then auditioning for Hyenas, you know, three hyenas. And then Ernie happened to be there.

You know, we were both doing Guys and Dolls on Broadway at the time. Yeah. And he he had gone in first and he was going to leave. And he said, I'll I'll stay with him and get lunch. We and I said, well, would it be all right if he came in and we read together? Because it's three hyenas and it'll give me someone to play off of and, you know, might be fun. And.
