Oh.

A Million Miles to Earth or something.

Well, not A Million Miles to Earth.

I was going to say Quatermass.

Quatermass in the pit.

Yeah.

That's it.

Whoa, you have a good memory.

Yeah.

Those aliens in that looked like praying mantises, and it flipped me out.

I was very impressionable as a child.

Which brings me to another reason why I'm glad that I managed to finally do a season of television.

Because I think even before I discovered James Dean and Brando,

I was all about my television, the Zenith Oval television in my living room.

And I wanted to get inside that TV because those little people in that TV were far more interesting to me than the people in my living room.

And I think that was my earliest memory of wanting to be an actor.

It was people like Bill Bixby and Peter Falk and Rock Hudson and Macmillan and wife and Dennis Weaver and McLeod.

And I loved anything by Rod Serling.

So the television, and it's amazing it's only happened now, was largely responsible for me wanting to become an actor.

At the earliest age, like three, four, five, six, the TV was the savior of my childhood.
