I don't really know, truly, honestly.

But basically, I did have a meeting with Steven Spielberg before Poltergeist.

I think he was interested, but didn't know if he wanted to pull the trigger.

And then I got a, no, I had shot already a Magnum PI with Tom Selleck, and it was his first season

And there was an overhead shot of me getting, you know, the stuffings beat out of me by Tom.

And I played a schmucky, murderous husband, you know, and he was Tom Selleck, you know, this gorgeous specimen of a human being.

And it was the first time with this overhead shot that I noticed I was severely going bald on the top of my, the back of my head.

So there was this wimpy guy

getting the crap beat out of him and going bald.

And I think that put a hold on Stephen, who watches a lot of TVs, desired to make use of me in Poltergeist.

I had to color it in periodically on doing some theater things years before.

But I had no idea...

You know, that's the blessing of going bald in the back of your head.

You look in the mirror and you go, looking good.

An anecdote which goes to the point of Woody Harrelson and I choosing to do a podcast together.

This is my favorite.

We're very dissimilar in so many ways.

And a kindred spirit, and I truly love him, will forever love Woody Harrelson.

And I admire him, and I try not to compare myself to him, because that's mean to do to anybody.

But he takes such a big bite out of life.
