Speaker 1: of those days. We are so excited we're not going
Speaker 1: to wait any longer. Please help us Welcome the unbelievable,
Speaker 1: the incredible, the redoubtable at Bagley Junior.
Speaker 3: Hello, how are you very good in yourself?
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Thank you so much for taking the
Speaker 2: time to talk to us.
Speaker 3: You remind me your name My name is Will, Will Sabrina.
Speaker 3: How are you Sabrina?
Speaker 4: So good?
Speaker 5: It's so nice to meet you. Thank you so much
Speaker 5: for joining us.
Speaker 3: My pleasure. We did a lot of Disney movies when
Speaker 3: I was young, and I love the whole Disney franchise.
Speaker 4: You did.
Speaker 2: This is me.
Speaker 1: I want to just remind you you and I were
Speaker 1: just together in Oh geez, where were we Idaho or
Speaker 1: Iowa or something? At a convention in Indiana.
Speaker 2: That's what I was.
Speaker 1: And we talked about Bill Daniels the whole time we did.
Speaker 3: The face was familiar. I didn't know from where. That's
Speaker 3: exactly where. It was really good.
Speaker 1: We had We had a lot of fun. But thank
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us. And we know that
Speaker 1: your career has been so incredible and so we don't
Speaker 1: know if you've ever had a conversation about hounded on Disney. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we figured as much. And so before we get
Speaker 1: into that, the first thing we always like to ask
Speaker 1: everybody is what attracted you to show business?
Speaker 2: How did you get to be an entertainer?
Speaker 3: My father was an actor. He had won a Tony Award,
Speaker 3: and then when I was about thirteen, he won an
Speaker 3: Oscar for Sweet printer View Best Supporting Actor. So I
Speaker 3: was very smitten with the business early on. I think
Speaker 3: if he was a plumber, i'd be fitting pipe. Now.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to do what my father did. Oh wow,
Speaker 3: And he was so good at it. He made it
Speaker 3: look easy. So I had it all wrong for those
Speaker 3: early years and when on lots of interviews, and I
Speaker 3: never got any work. Why because I hadn't trained. Imagine
Speaker 3: the son of a plumber saying, I'm going to take
Speaker 3: the truck today, Dad, I'll go the copper goes to
Speaker 3: the copper and the galvanized thes together, right, I think
Speaker 3: I can figure it out. You could never do it.
Speaker 3: But people who think their actors are acting as easy,
Speaker 3: you know, And I was a son of a famous actor.
Speaker 3: I thought it was. I just thought you just walked
Speaker 3: on set and started doing it. I didn't know there's
Speaker 3: any training. So I never got me work. And finally
Speaker 3: I got one day on a show after I did
Speaker 3: a little bit of training.
Speaker 2: Nice which show was the first one you got?
Speaker 3: It was my three sons. Freden McMurray. I worked with
Speaker 3: him over Disney, of course, on Charlie and the Angel,
Speaker 3: not Charlie's Angels, but Charlie and the Angel and Henry
Speaker 3: Morgan I think was the Angel and Charlie. I think
Speaker 3: it was fred McMurray. Kurt Rushy was in it too,
Speaker 3: So I did a lot lot of movies with Kurt there.
Speaker 1: That's right, another Disney I mean one of the original
Speaker 1: Disney kids was Kurt Russell. Correct, oh man, Okay, so
Speaker 1: you found you you you get you find that. This
Speaker 1: is what you have to do. You get into the industry.
Speaker 1: Now you start auditioning and working. When did you first
Speaker 1: join the did the world of Disney? What was your
Speaker 1: was that your first Disney project?
Speaker 3: My first movie might have been The Lot of Here,
Speaker 3: might have been a Disney movie. I can't remember the
Speaker 3: exact chronology, but the movie was definitely, uh, the Computer
Speaker 3: War ten Shoes, And I was on a panel of
Speaker 3: kids who were like the College Bowl kind of a thing,
Speaker 3: kids of a high school age praps, maybe a little
Speaker 3: bit older, who were part of this you know, science
Speaker 3: kind of you know, what would you call it a
Speaker 3: science marathon or something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, whatever, that would be a yeah, college
Speaker 1: Bowl exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, And Kurt Russell was on a team, but
Speaker 3: he'd been zapped by a computer. He was out at night,
Speaker 3: it was raining, and he got zapped by a computer.
Speaker 3: Everything was computer in those days. There was a new
Speaker 3: thing due to a tennis shoes. And the episode I
Speaker 3: did of my three sons was about computer dating. Oh wow,
Speaker 3: trendy and it, and so they started writing lots of
Speaker 3: shoes about computers. She was funny.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so fun.
Speaker 1: So then you, I mean, you had a very long
Speaker 1: career with Disney. I mean we were looking at some
Speaker 1: of the things that did. The nineteen eighty two was
Speaker 1: Tales of the Apple Dumpling Gang. Correct, And so I
Speaker 1: mean did you enjoy working on projects that were more
Speaker 1: geared towards young people. Was that something that you wanted
Speaker 1: to do or was it kind of like I'm working
Speaker 1: with Disney until I can get my big break in
Speaker 1: other big films.
Speaker 3: I just took whatever work was offered me, and the
Speaker 3: thing and everything a commercial and not very little what's
Speaker 3: offered me, but what little work, you know, I could
Speaker 3: get by auditioning and getting the part. And actually Apple
Speaker 3: Double Gang, the one I did was the TV that
Speaker 3: was in Uh. I think that was did you did
Speaker 3: you say eighty two? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think that said it was eighty two.
Speaker 3: Sorry, eighty two was correct. I thought it was a
Speaker 3: little bit different. No, that was right, And yeah, and
Speaker 3: then I did uh and I did hounden in two thousand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the what. So we literally just watched it
Speaker 1: and we we broke down. So this is what we
Speaker 1: do on the show is we watch every Disney Channel
Speaker 1: original movie and we break them down.
Speaker 2: We were we are over one hundred.
Speaker 1: Movies in now Fantastic that we've watched, and so how
Speaker 1: Did was the last one. But what was interesting is
Speaker 1: that with the research we've done, How Did? Wasn't the
Speaker 1: first movie you did based around working with a dog?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 3: Right? I did? What did I do? I did?
Speaker 2: Was it the shaggy dog?
Speaker 3: Shaggy Dog? Was Shaggy Dog? Exactly right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And that was also working with kids, you know, working
Speaker 5: with young actors, and it was.
Speaker 3: It turned out very nice. I can remember the kid's name.
Speaker 3: We played the league, but it was very good. And
Speaker 3: Sharon Lawrence played my wife. That's right? Was it?
Speaker 1: Was it? Jeremy Sisto and Scott Scott Weinger was in it.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Sisto was in it.
Speaker 3: Jeremy was not the lead.
Speaker 2: I don't think that might have been Scott then Scott Weiner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a wonderful kid. So was Jeremy of course.
Speaker 1: So what it seems like maybe you you never got
Speaker 1: the acting memo of never to work with kids or animals.
Speaker 3: No, I never got that. I wish I had, but
Speaker 3: I didn't mind back then, being upstate. I just wanted
Speaker 3: to keep getting work. And if I had, you know,
Speaker 3: lurk in the background with a kid or the dog
Speaker 3: did all the work. I didn't mind.
Speaker 6: When Ben, when you so, when you were younger and
Speaker 6: you started acting, you saw what your father was doing.
Speaker 6: Did you, in your mind picture yourself going that same
Speaker 6: route of more of the drama.
Speaker 2: Uh kind of Academy Award winner?
Speaker 1: Or were you always attracted because you know, while you're
Speaker 1: a phenomenal dramatic actor and you've seen that from your
Speaker 1: six Emmy nominations and Saint elsewhere, and we'll get into
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 2: You're also a wonderful comedic actor. Is it is that?
Speaker 1: Did you have one poll in the industry that you
Speaker 1: were more interested in if you had the choice of
Speaker 1: which path to take?
Speaker 3: Nothing is right or as detail was out, I had
Speaker 3: no plan whatsoever, just whatever work I could get, comedy drama. Indeed,
Speaker 3: when I did that my three sons, I had a
Speaker 3: paper out at the time, and I kept my makeup
Speaker 3: on and went out in my paper out hoping someone
Speaker 3: would recognize me. I hadn't even been developed yet my
Speaker 3: lone Friends and cut together or aired. So I thought, wow,
Speaker 3: I'm famous. Now I'm on the TV show. I wanted
Speaker 3: to be famous, you know, I wanted to be on TV, film, anything.
Speaker 3: And the authors did not come rolling in after the
Speaker 3: paper other at any point. So I thought, well, I
Speaker 3: got to work. And so I worked for several years
Speaker 3: as a camera assistant, you know, the guy that doesn't
Speaker 3: followup focus and loads of magazines and what have you. Sure,
Speaker 3: wow in the days of film, and so I did
Speaker 3: that for a while, and I was very happy that
Speaker 3: my fate was going to be a little different than that.
Speaker 3: I wanted to be an activate, but nothing happened. I
Speaker 3: was content, one hundred percent content to be a camera assistant.
Speaker 3: And then I got a job on A Room two
Speaker 3: twenty two. It was the original pilot, was written by
Speaker 3: James L. Brooks. Yeah, And so I worked on that
Speaker 3: and that gave me. It got me a second episode
Speaker 3: in the third and fourth. I did about seven of them,
Speaker 3: and so I then had the regularity of being on
Speaker 3: a set with people that were familiar with and I
Speaker 3: I lost all my fear of the camera before that,
Speaker 3: I had kind of most people do it starting out
Speaker 3: there with fear, Oh my god, the cameras right here,
Speaker 3: right next to my face. But of the scene we
Speaker 3: got the too quotes. But after that, after work with
Speaker 3: the getting to know the camera assistant, the cameraman and
Speaker 3: the gaffer and the actors and everybody, I got very relaxed.
Speaker 3: So the camera could be in a snorical camera go
Speaker 3: around anywhere, and I didn't mind it one bit. You know,
Speaker 3: I lost all my fear of the camera. I became
Speaker 3: totally relaxed in front of the camera. That's a good
Speaker 3: thing and also bad thing, because in the next decade
Speaker 3: I was relaxed in front of the camera, so relaxed
Speaker 3: on putting people to sleep. They have to have some zips,
Speaker 3: some spice and something going on, and I didn't have it.
Speaker 3: I had my vacant eyes and nothing more. You know,
Speaker 3: when I was acting, I just I just didn't want to.
Speaker 3: I was relaxed with too relaxed. So then I finally
Speaker 3: started to study again and studied with Peggy Theory. I
Speaker 3: studied with still Adler with Lee Strasburg at the Strasburg Institute,
Speaker 3: and I started to, you know, implement some one of
Speaker 3: those things. Thanks for my friend Bruno Kirby was a
Speaker 3: much better actor than me, and a dear, dear friend,
Speaker 3: and he was doing all that kind of important work
Speaker 3: to become a better actor. So I started doing it
Speaker 3: myself and it worked. I got more employment.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: So that was one of the William Daniels, who we
Speaker 1: have a friend in common told me, used to tell
Speaker 1: me stories about acting class and how he was in
Speaker 1: with Marilyn Monroe and all these people, and then he
Speaker 1: was constantly telling us about the different people that were
Speaker 1: in classes with them and how.
Speaker 2: You would form a camaraderie and a friendship.
Speaker 1: Did you find that to be the case when you
Speaker 1: said Bruno Kirby somebody there and I know that he
Speaker 1: and Billy Crystal were friends for a long time. I mean,
Speaker 1: were you part of kind of that crew of the
Speaker 1: up and coming actors and comedic actors, especially at the time.
Speaker 3: I was, Yeah, I became friendly with Bruno and we
Speaker 3: found ourselves for like the third time, in a waiting
Speaker 3: room outside an interview, waiting to go in and be recorded,
Speaker 3: or just the audition down and recording device before a
Speaker 3: casting director and somebody else. But I remember you. I
Speaker 3: spent you a few times before, and I realized he
Speaker 3: was a junior too, and we were about the same age.
Speaker 3: He was a great guy. He gave me a ride home,
Speaker 3: so I went, this is a palful life. And I
Speaker 3: had a very good friend in Bruno until he passed
Speaker 3: in two thousand and six. But he was also he
Speaker 3: was definitely my inspiration to go back and study and
Speaker 3: not just settle for half measures, to really become serious
Speaker 3: about acting. And he went on to do Godfather too,
Speaker 3: and Donny Brasco and you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a ton of things.
Speaker 1: City slickers and sleepers, and I mean, he had a
Speaker 1: wonderful career.
Speaker 3: Wonderful career, passed too early. He was in his fifties.
Speaker 3: But we were very good friends. And Billy was part
Speaker 3: of that too, and the wonderful Rob Ryner, who we
Speaker 3: miss every day. Those who woe loved him.
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to ask you about that, so
Speaker 1: one of I mean, you've been in some of the
Speaker 1: literally some of the greatest films in the history of Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and in with a group of actors that are arguably
Speaker 1: one of the best companies of comedians and of improv
Speaker 1: artists ever, and that's the kind of entire Rob Reiner
Speaker 1: Christopher Guest group. And so how did you get involved
Speaker 1: with that group of people which then led to this
Speaker 1: is Spinal Tap, which is the start of the mockumentary.
Speaker 3: It was through the National Lampoon, the magazine the Lampoon
Speaker 3: there was also which started with the Harvard Lampoon, became
Speaker 3: the National Lampoon. Saw that magazine starting in nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: a monthly magazine. Became addicted to that and somehow I
Speaker 3: had a friend of a friend and I met Michael
Speaker 3: Adoni who worked there, and I met I met a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of people. I won't listen them all, but
Speaker 3: I met Christopher Guest because he was in a recording
Speaker 3: studio one night and Tony Hendra, that's right, he was
Speaker 3: the editor of the magazine for a while. Tony Hendra
Speaker 3: went into this recording session, which was a Lampoon recording
Speaker 3: session now for the Radio Dinner album that had already
Speaker 3: come out. There's another album, I can't remember what, some
Speaker 3: thing and there was Christopher Guests why idolized from the
Speaker 3: Radio Dinner album and he and I realized I knew
Speaker 3: his sister alyssa guest, and through Harry Didnis, and the
Speaker 3: connections are many. I won't listen them all. But I
Speaker 3: became friendly with Chris, and I was friendly with Jeff Goldblum.
Speaker 3: Came close with Chris, but they did between the lines
Speaker 3: of some movie like that together. And then when Chris
Speaker 3: moved to La he became friendly quickly with Rob Reiner
Speaker 3: and a bunch of them in Bruno because they had
Speaker 3: a softball team. They gathered and played ball. I was
Speaker 3: no good at sports, but I hung around the background
Speaker 3: and took pictures. I was like the team photographer.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great fun, and I met
Speaker 3: all those guys. So then when they were doing planning
Speaker 3: to do spinal Tap, when Ed plays the drums happened.
Speaker 3: Come in and play the drums in this sequence. It
Speaker 3: would be like an old kinescope looking thing, so it
Speaker 3: didn't have to be fancy cameras recorded look kind of crappy.
Speaker 3: That's a that's not a bug, it's a feature. So
Speaker 3: we did that. It was part of the way. I remember.
Speaker 3: It was part of the fundraising effort to raise money
Speaker 3: to do the movie. That scene in a few others,
Speaker 3: and it was so perfect that kinderscope looking poor quality
Speaker 3: that kept it in the movie.
Speaker 2: Oh it looked great.
Speaker 3: So that's how I got in there. Through Bruno and
Speaker 3: all those guys introduced me to Christopher the second time
Speaker 3: I'd met him the first time in New York.
Speaker 2: And this was mister Reiner's first directing directing a job,
Speaker 2: wasn't it. This is his directorial debut, was the first. Yes,
Speaker 2: could you tell right away what he was going to be?
Speaker 3: No question? He had it, you know. I'd seen him
Speaker 3: do a bit of improv work on stage for the
Speaker 3: Committee on Sunsett Boulevard. He was friendly with that group,
Speaker 3: as was I, and I knew he was very talented
Speaker 3: from all the family and other stuff. He did a
Speaker 3: TV movie with his wife Penny at the time, did
Speaker 3: lots of stuff, but it was very high quality as
Speaker 3: an actor, and so when I heard he was directing something,
Speaker 3: I wanted to be part of that. And certainly the
Speaker 3: same with Chris. So I got to work with them
Speaker 3: both in many films, and I feel so lucky to
Speaker 3: know them still, and the ones that have left us.
Speaker 3: I miss him every day.
Speaker 2: Sure well, Bruno was in it as well. He was
Speaker 2: had a wonderful both of you.
Speaker 1: I mean, cameo is not the right word because you
Speaker 1: weren't cameo and you just had these great bit parts.
Speaker 3: Right. It was great as the limo driver.
Speaker 2: Wonder So is is working with that crew?
Speaker 1: Is that one of those things where every time you
Speaker 1: get a call from Christopher guests and say, hey, we're
Speaker 1: doing a new one, you kind of perk up.
Speaker 3: Definitely. I always wait for that phone call, and it's
Speaker 3: just I wasn't in the last one. The last final tappened.
Speaker 3: It was very funny. Everything they do is funny. I
Speaker 3: just I love that gang, watching it or being in
Speaker 3: and I'll take anything I can.
Speaker 2: Wow, they are absolutely amazing. So we go from there.
Speaker 1: Now I have to ask because then you hear or
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, how did you hear about
Speaker 1: a little project on television called Scene Elsewhere?
Speaker 3: Oh, that I auditioned. I was about to sell my
Speaker 3: house in la I'd lived there my whole life, and
Speaker 3: I was ready to move sell my house and move
Speaker 3: to Atlanta. I figured it'd be a good spot to
Speaker 3: be a big fish in a small pond, not that
Speaker 3: big a fish, but not that small a pond, but
Speaker 3: I wasn't after fifteen years, I wouldn't be kind of
Speaker 3: working actor I wanted to be. So I was gonna
Speaker 3: I propose because we were behind a little bit in
Speaker 3: some credit card payments. My first wife and I Ingrid
Speaker 3: and I and I said, here's the solution. We'll sell
Speaker 3: the house, moved to Atlanta, and we'll be able to
Speaker 3: afford a place there pretty easily. It's much cheaper lived
Speaker 3: there than here. So let's do it. Let's lifts the home.
Speaker 3: My phone rings. I pick up the phone. It's my agent. Hey, Eric,
Speaker 3: how you doing? He said, good? An audition for saying elsewhere?
Speaker 3: I said, saying, what, what are you even talking about?
Speaker 3: I don't know what those words meant. So I went in
Speaker 3: the auditioned for a character that was a regular character,
Speaker 3: doctor Peter White. I read Burt and I did very good,
Speaker 3: so I was sure i'd get the right kind of call.
Speaker 3: My agent called me and said, sorry, you're not going
Speaker 3: to get this one. You didn't You didn't do it
Speaker 3: what they wanted. And I couldn't believe it because I
Speaker 3: thought I read great and I didn't get that part.
Speaker 3: It was a regular part. So they threw me a bone.
Speaker 3: Offered me a character apart that had like two or
Speaker 3: three lines, three at the max, maybe just two, and
Speaker 3: I wanted to be in the show so bad I
Speaker 3: said yes to that. This big part, Peter White, the
Speaker 3: part that I wanted, went on to be a regular,
Speaker 3: of course, but it only lasted a season and a half.
Speaker 3: He was shot dead. He was a hospital rapist and
Speaker 3: shot and killed after the you know, first year and
Speaker 3: a half or something, and I the character had two
Speaker 3: lines maybe three, but on to be one of the
Speaker 3: more popular show popular characters in the show. So everything
Speaker 3: that I wanted has never been nearly as good as
Speaker 3: what I've actually gotten. I'm very lucky. Will definitely Sabrina,
Speaker 3: I'm blessed as a message to takeaway from this.
Speaker 1: And yes, so I have to ask because he's so
Speaker 1: important in not just my acting life, but just in
Speaker 1: my life in general. So I met William Daniels when
Speaker 1: I was sixteen, and we were together on a show
Speaker 1: for seven years, and he's still very important in my life.
Speaker 1: What was and I think he was probably you know,
Speaker 1: late sixties when I met him, What was younger?
Speaker 2: What was working with a younger Bill Daniels?
Speaker 3: Like it was so exciting for me will because I
Speaker 3: had seen PARALLEXX View, I'd seen Two for the Road,
Speaker 3: I had seen all these wonderful movies that he did.
Speaker 3: He was so good the graduate playing the dad of
Speaker 3: the graduate, Dustin's father. Yeah, and he was as led.
Speaker 3: You know, a Broadway legend and a you know, film legend,
Speaker 3: and now dagn to do a TV show must be
Speaker 3: a good show if we can lure William Daniels and
Speaker 3: Ed Flanders for God's sake into the mix. And so
Speaker 3: I was just blown away with with Bill as a
Speaker 3: person as an actor and his wife Bonnie a great actress.
Speaker 3: So to get the two of them in my life,
Speaker 3: I just was walking on air every day and he
Speaker 3: really took me under his wing and explained some things
Speaker 3: but I didn't quite figured out yet, like maybe not
Speaker 3: to learn my lines in the makeup chair before I shot,
Speaker 3: Maybe look at them the night before a good idea
Speaker 3: had you want to get that a time, just a glance,
Speaker 3: to take a glance at them, you know generally what
Speaker 3: they'll be talking about. Because I had this curse for
Speaker 3: a while, I such a good memory. I could do that,
Speaker 3: I could get away with that. I could look at them.
Speaker 3: I could be out late at night doing this and that,
Speaker 3: partying or whatever the hell, come in to the you know,
Speaker 3: the stage and get in the makeup chair and look
Speaker 3: at them and learn them very quickly. So that turned
Speaker 3: out to not be a curse. Now. It was. Course,
Speaker 3: there was nothing like a blessing, that's for sure. Then,
Speaker 3: when I needed to do the work and have some
Speaker 3: background to the character and what have you, been in
Speaker 3: the right frame of mind to do it, I didn't
Speaker 3: have the time to do it. So it proved to
Speaker 3: be a bad idea every way.
Speaker 1: Well, I think I told you when we were at
Speaker 1: the convention, the best compliment I've ever gotten in my
Speaker 1: life on the set was I just finished the scene
Speaker 1: with Bill and he put his arm around me and
Speaker 1: he said, it looks like you're minue ed Bagley.
Speaker 3: Oh you told me that isn't that great?
Speaker 1: And it was just it made me feel so good.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can't believe that just happened.
Speaker 3: So I'm just getting your rush out of it. Tube.
Speaker 3: That's got enough of me to say that about you.
Speaker 3: It was your wonderful work.
Speaker 2: Just so great.
Speaker 1: So that was I will never ever forget that. It
Speaker 1: was really magical, and then of course Saint Elsewhere goes
Speaker 1: on to do what Saint Elsewere does and makes television
Speaker 1: history as arguably one of the greatest television shows of
Speaker 1: all time. When you read the script, you obviously wanted
Speaker 1: to be on the show. But did you have an
Speaker 1: inkling that this show was going to be what it
Speaker 1: turned into?
Speaker 3: Yes? I did. I really knew from just reading that script.
Speaker 3: I didn't know what it was when my age and
Speaker 3: called me that day when I was ready to lift
Speaker 3: my house and move to Atlanta, had no idea what
Speaker 3: it was. But when I read that script to an
Speaker 3: old boy one or two line part, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: Maybe I can make it into something. And I did
Speaker 3: a bit either small role in that the writers had
Speaker 3: the biggest role, because it's on this Mutt and Jeff
Speaker 3: thing with being Bill Daniels. You know my height and
Speaker 3: his height and what having all that that implies, and
Speaker 3: him is this tough chief of surgery there at the hospital.
Speaker 3: It was just perfect and they had fun writing for it.
Speaker 3: So I got to write on their coat tails and
Speaker 3: on bills for six wonderful years. Lucky once again, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Before we get into Hounded, which is what we're here
Speaker 1: to talk about. I have one more question for you
Speaker 1: about another project you've done, because it's my favorite show
Speaker 1: of all time. And to be able to talk to
Speaker 1: somebody who'd been on the set, what was it like
Speaker 1: to be on mash Oh, it was.
Speaker 3: A dream come true because I loved that movie. Of course,
Speaker 3: I'm friends with Elliott Gould and still to this day,
Speaker 3: and I just loved the movie. Then I saw the
Speaker 3: TV show and flip for that, you know, Alan and
Speaker 3: everybody was so good and Mike Ferrell are just a
Speaker 3: great bunch of people. And then to get that call
Speaker 3: and to say, you know, I think they might have
Speaker 3: even offered it to me too. I don't know if
Speaker 3: I had an audition for it. Maybe I did, maybe
Speaker 3: I didn't, but it didn't matter. I was just happy
Speaker 3: and proud, to be honest. That was nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 3: I did that.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: And to be just sitting there and the foling chairs
Speaker 3: waiting for the lighting to be finished to go and
Speaker 3: work with him, I just it was exciting, great conversation,
Speaker 3: great people, and just I couldn't. I had to pinch
Speaker 3: myself every day.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's so excited to hear that that was a
Speaker 2: good set.
Speaker 1: That means that means a lot to me because that's
Speaker 1: that's one of the shows that made me want to
Speaker 1: be an actor. So hearing that that was a good
Speaker 1: set to be on is wonderful.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I almost didn't get it. I was of
Speaker 3: it was often saying in Alaska, Yeah, I was. I
Speaker 3: was in Alaska on a fishing trip. There's lots in
Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere with no phones, but they had
Speaker 3: like an emergency radio or what have you. So I
Speaker 3: heard about the audition for the offer from a you know,
Speaker 3: like a short wave radio or something. Was crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: The charge for six days starting to eighth over? Are
Speaker 3: you available for those days? Over? Like a phone call
Speaker 3: but not quite a sophisticated Oh man, Oh I love that.
Speaker 1: So what did you let's get Sabrina. Do you want
Speaker 1: to take take it from hounded here?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: So, I mean, can you kind of just take us through?
Speaker 5: Obviously you're just your career is just is. You've got
Speaker 5: so many incredible parts of your career that are just noteworthy.
Speaker 5: Where did it come into frame? As far as how
Speaker 5: did it the offer or this project from the channel
Speaker 5: come and get presented to you. Do you remember how
Speaker 5: this this project came up.
Speaker 3: I remember very well. It was like two thousand and
Speaker 3: two or three, something like that. It was a while
Speaker 3: ago that we filmed it in Salt Lake City. That
Speaker 3: came from a casting director named Robin Lippin, And here
Speaker 3: was a big book for me. At that point, I'd
Speaker 3: done quite a bit of work. I've done it. Had
Speaker 3: I done a Chris Guest movie, No, I hadn't. I
Speaker 3: done Spinal Tap, but I hadn't done any of the
Speaker 3: others yet. I don't think I do best.
Speaker 2: In I think, yeah, best in shows. I think of
Speaker 2: the nineties as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, I did best in show. But I
Speaker 3: so I've done some good works, I think. Yeah. I
Speaker 3: didn't have to audition rounded I know, that's for a fact.
Speaker 3: So I got the offer through Robin lipping And here
Speaker 3: was the big hook my wife. Okay, so that the
Speaker 3: part of your wife could easily be played by your wife.
Speaker 3: I said, if you can since that part of the deal,
Speaker 3: I'm in. You can get me for whatever you have
Speaker 3: in the budget. But if you get my wife and
Speaker 3: you're make it more attractive to me and make me
Speaker 3: hear in my own home right, And I don't know
Speaker 3: if they read her just looked at her real or something,
Speaker 3: but they were very enthusiastic about hiring her. I probably
Speaker 3: didn't need to interfere at all because she was, of
Speaker 3: course wonderful in the.
Speaker 6: Role and yet great.
Speaker 3: Unknown to me at the time, Shilah buff was so talented.
Speaker 3: You meet him in the first day of rehearsal before
Speaker 3: we even shot, went who is this kid? Where did
Speaker 3: he come from? He's so smart, he's so funny, and
Speaker 3: it's funny character that I would play in front of
Speaker 3: Shia for fun. It was a cigar smoking age that
Speaker 3: was a kid. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm
Speaker 3: going to make a big star how sell with this
Speaker 3: project given built From there, there's gonna be tops in
Speaker 3: all the dog movies in Hollywood. From there, mook the horses,
Speaker 3: the horses who move up the cars and I just
Speaker 3: had this crazy, you know, improud kind of thing I did.
Speaker 3: It was a new agent and he loved it. St
Speaker 3: cars smoking agent was my character. Every day on the set.
Speaker 3: It was so funny. He would join and he was
Speaker 3: so quick and funny and he loved it. He was
Speaker 3: at the time, he was like I don't know, twelve
Speaker 3: or something. I can't remember.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Shiahs was little.
Speaker 5: It's I think before even Stevens had even really kicked up.
Speaker 5: And I mean they might have been filming and at
Speaker 5: the time, but he wasn't even the Shilah buff that
Speaker 5: you knew from the channel just yet, you know he was.
Speaker 4: He was up and coming.
Speaker 3: Everything I've seen do that I'm not showing to this day.
Speaker 3: It's so amazing every role that he's played. But the
Speaker 3: thing people did during the covideo the twenty twenty and
Speaker 3: people got together to have a presentation or a reading
Speaker 3: of some script or something, and so they all got
Speaker 3: together with top actors. It was Sean Tenders, just one,
Speaker 3: and that one in Shilah Bach was one of the
Speaker 3: people on a Zoom connection taking part in this thing.
Speaker 3: He was the one that everybody was like, mouth. I
Speaker 3: played a small part myself, jaw dropping kind of like
Speaker 3: what the hell is he doing? But in a good way.
Speaker 3: He was in a car doing his part of the
Speaker 3: Zoom thing, not at his desk. He was in a car.
Speaker 3: He had a good hook up there a good while
Speaker 3: with somehow in a car, maybe in his driveway, I
Speaker 3: don't know. But he had all these props and things,
Speaker 3: no common sense, not showy props, were just kind of
Speaker 3: simple things that helped inform the character. It was totally
Speaker 3: in the moment, not looking at a script like me.
Speaker 3: You know, it was a reading or something, so I
Speaker 3: had my script in front of me, I had it
Speaker 3: close to the lens, but still it wasn't quite the same.
Speaker 3: He was not looking anywhere at any material whatsoever. He
Speaker 3: learned all the lines. He did this like live stage
Speaker 3: performance that he had rehearsed for a month or something
Speaker 3: kind of work. Were like me and Sean kind of like,
Speaker 3: who is this kid? He's unbelievable. He just is so
Speaker 3: talented that I saw him recently in a man At
Speaker 3: play at the Electric Lodge in LA You're just off
Speaker 3: the charge. Great. I can't remember the name of the play,
Speaker 3: but like Henry Johnson or something, he was in this
Speaker 3: play and blew everybody way. It was just it was
Speaker 3: a great play, first of all, and he was so
Speaker 3: great at it. Every moment he had business that was informed,
Speaker 3: organic and powerful. He He's an amazing artist, he really is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we said the same thing.
Speaker 1: We said that if they put together a list of
Speaker 1: forget it as an adult. Just the top five child
Speaker 1: actors of all time. He would have to be on
Speaker 1: that list, Yeah, have to be. I think he won
Speaker 1: his first Emmy when he was like thirteen, I think
Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, so just amazing. And Taj Moorray is
Speaker 1: no slouch either.
Speaker 3: No slouts whatsoever. They were neck and neck. They were
Speaker 3: both doing such great work. Impressive both of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I feel like if this was a
Speaker 5: p if there was a project to even just look
Speaker 5: at the cast with the two young you know, leads
Speaker 5: that you have. This was such a great one because
Speaker 5: they for a long time were royalty on the Disney Channel.
Speaker 5: They were it that it actors. And for them to
Speaker 5: be able to get you on this project, I mean
Speaker 5: because at the time, I don't know if you knew
Speaker 5: this with the channel is they had a lot of
Speaker 5: Disney Channel original movies. This was the time of the
Speaker 5: channel that they were pumping these types of movies out
Speaker 5: a lot. Not all of them were on the level
Speaker 5: of others, but they were really putting a lot.
Speaker 4: Of them in there.
Speaker 5: So they a lot of them were just like new names.
Speaker 5: Not a lot of people that you would recognize this one.
Speaker 5: I mean, we saw we saw your your guys' names
Speaker 5: on on the bill and were like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Like for the Channel to be able to lump.
Speaker 5: The everything and get you on a project like this
Speaker 5: was a huge win for the Channel, absolutely, and I'm
Speaker 5: just so glad that did you have a fun time
Speaker 5: while you I mean, sounds like you had a great
Speaker 5: time on set? Was it fun up in Salt Lake?
Speaker 5: The capital of the dcom world?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: Did you have fun there?
Speaker 3: It was fun? Being in Salt Lake was fun. I've
Speaker 3: been there before, and I loved working on the movie.
Speaker 3: And the script was charming and funny and it's quirky,
Speaker 3: and we enjoyed it, you know, we enjoyed every minute
Speaker 3: of it. And I had my daughter with me by
Speaker 3: at that point, very young daughters. He was about two
Speaker 3: or something. So ever, in a little peak park up
Speaker 3: walking around and running around Salt Lake, and the snow
Speaker 3: was great. We don't get any snow in La so yeah,
Speaker 3: everything about it was magical.
Speaker 5: We were wondering that if it was cold, because a
Speaker 5: lot of the outside scenes, the kids that had the
Speaker 5: outside scene seemed very bundled up. But it was sunny,
Speaker 5: so you can't really one hundred percent tell. But in
Speaker 5: the background it looked like there was snow on the mountains,
Speaker 5: so it was kind of like was it freezy? Were
Speaker 5: you guys being draped with like warm park?
Speaker 3: Definitely for sure, yes, of course.
Speaker 1: Man, Okay, the movie comes out. You got another Disney
Speaker 1: Channel movie. It's another does well on the channel, all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Did you have any problems because
Speaker 1: with Shaggy Dog with Hounded? Do you ever have any
Speaker 1: problems working with animals or do you do enjoy kind
Speaker 1: of working with animals?
Speaker 3: I enjoy it. I always have. You know, I had
Speaker 3: never held a snake, certainly not an anaconda or something.
Speaker 3: There was a big giant snake. I did a movie
Speaker 3: called uh, cat People for Paul Schrader, who wrote Taxi
Speaker 3: Driver and Rging Bolt. He directed a few movies. One
Speaker 3: of them was cat People, and so you know, they said,
Speaker 3: have you ever held a reptile? I said, a little
Speaker 3: lizard in the yard. But I never know. I haven't. Well,
Speaker 3: this is you know, they just set the stand. It's
Speaker 3: not different than you probably, you know. I thought it
Speaker 3: would be slimy. It's nothing like that. So they I said,
Speaker 3: is there any danger for me? Whatsoever. Said, No, you're
Speaker 3: not going to crush or anything. I thought, that's what
Speaker 3: you're worried about. You know that only happens under certain
Speaker 3: conditions that we're not going to duplicate here, so you're
Speaker 3: perfectly safe. So I went. I had a scene where
Speaker 3: I had the anacond bow. I should know which kind
Speaker 3: of snake it was, but I don't remember, but a
Speaker 3: huge snake walking through the zoo with it on my
Speaker 3: neck and what have you, and it was the handle
Speaker 3: was relaxed, so I was relaxed. And then I had
Speaker 3: another scene. I was supposed to go and clean out
Speaker 3: like a cage with an orangutan in it. I'll go
Speaker 3: into the cage with the orangutan. Now, rangutans and you know,
Speaker 3: are incredibly strong. Yeah, you frighten them or anger them,
Speaker 3: you could pay with your life. They could kill you
Speaker 3: very quickly and instantly. So the guy said, but this
Speaker 3: one had been They claimed it was the same you
Speaker 3: orangutan that's uh had worked with Clint East but in
Speaker 3: all those every which way but up kind of moving
Speaker 3: sure rangutan that they called Clyde and he was in
Speaker 3: this full Schrader movie as well. So the handler said
Speaker 3: here's what's going to happen. He had never hurt anybody.
Speaker 3: He's not going to start today. But he may grab
Speaker 3: you when you get up post them and pull you
Speaker 3: up post offered, kind of by your hair or by
Speaker 3: your ears or something. He's not going to hurt you,
Speaker 3: but he may do that. To be prepared for that said, okay,
Speaker 3: he just wants to see you know, he wants to
Speaker 3: smell your breath and see what you're about. Rangultan did
Speaker 3: exactly that. I got, you know, I was sitting there,
Speaker 3: came over to me. I was very calm, pulled me
Speaker 3: by the earth right up to his face. My breathing
Speaker 3: was steady, and I was very relaxed. So he decided
Speaker 3: I was a new best friend for the rest of
Speaker 3: the day. He's like, he's walking next to me, look
Speaker 3: at me like his dad, and what have you hold
Speaker 3: in my hand? I started going, Oh, no, what I did,
Speaker 3: be poorhead. I forgot there was more to it than that.
Speaker 3: I went in there and I went onto the like
Speaker 3: monkey bars and stuff, and I rolled around on the
Speaker 3: ground and did a bunch of stuff just right after,
Speaker 3: just before I met him that most people didn't do
Speaker 3: that when they met him. So he really liked that
Speaker 3: a lot. So he was my friend for the day.
Speaker 3: A couple of days I was with him because I
Speaker 3: trusted the handler and the figure that they said that
Speaker 3: they also said when he worked with the cats, this
Speaker 3: is completely insanely dangerous. Somehow the cat get out, got out,
Speaker 3: just you know, run for your life. Nothing. You could
Speaker 3: outrun the cat, but this tanther gets out, it would
Speaker 3: be very very bad. Do not touch the locks, Do
Speaker 3: not touch get near the bars. And I had the
Speaker 3: scene where I had to get cun near the bars.
Speaker 3: They changed that the panther out for a puma, you know,
Speaker 3: like a mountain lion, because they're more docile compared to
Speaker 3: the panthers. A you're in acting, you're performing and doing
Speaker 3: this thing. My arm is supposed to be ripped off
Speaker 3: just before CGI and stuff like that. So they just
Speaker 3: ripped it off like a prosthetic arm that they had
Speaker 3: molded to looked like my arm, ripped it off with
Speaker 3: rubber bands to look like tendons and sinew, and they
Speaker 3: had like har syrup and red dye to look like
Speaker 3: jewy blood. And it looks fantastic and so uh, but
Speaker 3: at some point you're acting anybody in the moment, and
Speaker 3: I got way too close to the cage with the
Speaker 3: real panther in it, and the guy, the handler correctly
Speaker 3: and rightly yelled and he said, stops right now. Everybody
Speaker 3: back off six feet and stop. You can't get anywhere
Speaker 3: near that close to the panther. They get pulled right
Speaker 3: in for real, right up to the cage. Will rip
Speaker 3: his arm.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's fine.
Speaker 3: So you have to be careful with that kind of thing. Wow,
Speaker 3: And then there's not danger.
Speaker 2: Yeah. They told me that about Bill Daniels when I
Speaker 2: first met him. To stay six feet away from me.
Speaker 3: Rip your arm. Your block is light not block is lightly.
Speaker 3: Get you like the character in Address remember that movie,
Speaker 3: that this license for me, own this lightning for me
Speaker 3: and me only the rest of your find what life
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 2: Find, what life you can Yes, sir, okay.
Speaker 1: So if you could go back in time and give
Speaker 1: your young thirteen year old self who is getting into
Speaker 1: the industry, any advice, what would you tell yourself?
Speaker 3: Make sure you focus on the work, not on the salary,
Speaker 3: not on the side of the park, not on the
Speaker 3: stars that may or may not be involved in the project.
Speaker 3: Just make sure that's about the work and the quality
Speaker 3: of work only nothing else. Wow.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: And then finally, and this is going to be a
Speaker 1: very tough one, what is the I don't even know
Speaker 1: the right word.
Speaker 2: I guess favorite.
Speaker 1: What is the favorite project you've done over your entire career.
Speaker 3: Well, there's one in this one that I'll call the
Speaker 3: best movie I've been in and it could be and
Speaker 3: it was so recently Best in Show, or maybe The
Speaker 3: in Laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, or maybe
Speaker 3: spinal Taps this movie called Strange Darling, which is now
Speaker 3: high on my list, at the top of my list
Speaker 3: for the best movie I've been into my whole life.
Speaker 3: Strange Darling worth a look at. It's not a comedy
Speaker 3: at all, but my best job in my whole long
Speaker 3: life has certainly been definitely been sing elsewhere because it
Speaker 3: was six years of working with Bill Daniels and Ed
Speaker 3: Flanders and Bonnie Bartlett and Christina Pickles and he's wonderful
Speaker 3: actors and guest stars that were incredible. It's just, you know,
Speaker 3: the different top movies for different reasons. But that's that's
Speaker 3: my answer that I'm going to stick to it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: For taking the time to join us so much, for
Speaker 3: you taking on YouTube, Sabrina, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: This has been amazing and a true, true gift for us.
Speaker 1: Thank you really for joining early show. You have no
Speaker 1: idea how how important it is to.
Speaker 3: Us me too well, thank you, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: To thank you very much, and hopefully we get to
Speaker 1: see again in the future. Will come back for another
Speaker 1: one of your films.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4: I have a great one.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 5: Just like someone you know has the best stories that
Speaker 5: could just sit there and continuously roll them out, whether.
Speaker 2: You just want to sit there and listen to them
Speaker 2: talk I.
Speaker 5: Know, I mean thinking about just like the lessons he learned.
Speaker 5: I love that he started with such like humble beginnings,
Speaker 5: meaning that like, so how many people think, oh, when
Speaker 5: you're I want to be an actor and it's just
Speaker 5: going to be something. I'm gonna go on two job
Speaker 5: auditions and boom, I'm gonna be famous. I'm gonna be
Speaker 5: this And to like realize like how much work and
Speaker 5: you know, dedication you have to put into the career
Speaker 5: before it really starts rolling out. And he had when
Speaker 5: not a lot of people start with like somebody who
Speaker 5: was already in industry, had the conventions that the thame
Speaker 5: the and I didn't.
Speaker 1: Want to get too much into it, but I'm curious
Speaker 1: because he didn't really say that his father was hugely
Speaker 1: helpful in his career.
Speaker 2: It doesn't, you know.
Speaker 1: You wonder if he was introducing him to the people
Speaker 1: or if his dad was like, Hey, I made it
Speaker 1: on my own, you're gonna make it. I'll help a bit, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I made it on my own. You gotta do
Speaker 1: the work and make it. And I love how he
Speaker 1: just kept saying that.
Speaker 2: It's about the work. It's about the work, which which
Speaker 2: is really amazing.
Speaker 1: But we had we went to a convention and we
Speaker 1: were on the same flight and we sat kind of
Speaker 1: across from each other on the flight and started talking
Speaker 1: right as we were landing, and then we realized we
Speaker 1: were going to the same place. So we had to
Speaker 1: walk and then take like a shuttle and then a bus.
Speaker 2: And then everything to get guy. And so he and
Speaker 2: I were together.
Speaker 1: For like half a day traveling and it was just
Speaker 1: getting so many I got to hear so many stories
Speaker 1: and so much of the conversation.
Speaker 2: And he's a legend. I mean, he's a living legend.
Speaker 1: Uh So the stuff that he had got to do
Speaker 1: and the projects he's been involved with have just been
Speaker 1: I mean we could have we could do five episodes
Speaker 1: with him and we still would only be up to
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that kind of thing. So it's uh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's trying to look too.
Speaker 5: He's been in so many things and he's like, I
Speaker 5: can't really remember what comes before.
Speaker 4: Or after all the time.
Speaker 5: You know, it's like this like schmorsmorg of just like
Speaker 5: a time frame of what he was going through. And
Speaker 5: I loved that him and his wife were able to
Speaker 5: be in this project together that I'm sure was like
Speaker 5: different and they and they had their daughter there on set,
Speaker 5: Like pretty cool experience that he was able to have
Speaker 5: with this project.
Speaker 4: That's so amazing.
Speaker 1: And I apologize to you for monopolizing that entire conversation,
Speaker 1: but I just I just kept going.
Speaker 2: My bad, No, not at all.
Speaker 4: It's just there's just so many cool things.
Speaker 5: And I think of too, like you know when and
Speaker 5: I know you like I was on set with Angela
Speaker 5: Lansbury and like you know when you when you get
Speaker 5: a chance when you're young too, I was like eleven
Speaker 5: when I was filming with her on a Christmas movie
Speaker 5: and just watching how she would.
Speaker 4: You know, I.
Speaker 5: Him recognizing, like him doing a little bit and being
Speaker 5: a part of the kids around him and getting them
Speaker 5: to laugh is just awesome. I mean, Angela was so
Speaker 5: great with us, just like really talking about like looking
Speaker 5: around and looking at the sets and wow, look at
Speaker 5: those the gorgeous costume and you're getting to do you know,
Speaker 5: just things have been like really grateful of things. There's
Speaker 5: so many things when you have somebody on set who's
Speaker 5: a legend and you know it, and to be able
Speaker 5: to kind of just interact with them at all, you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's so and to know he had like a
Speaker 5: specific little bit and I but I can only imagine Shia.
Speaker 4: Just like knew you know, oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: And I get a chance to kind of just like
Speaker 5: improv with this like incredible actor. I mean, what an
Speaker 5: exciting opportunity.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to talk to him forever.
Speaker 3: That was.
Speaker 1: That was a cool experience And hopefully he'll come back
Speaker 1: when we we because again he did a bunch of
Speaker 1: Disney stuff.
Speaker 4: He did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean even even just like on the channel,
Speaker 5: like you know, being able. He was on Sweet Life
Speaker 5: on Deck with Zach and Cody did Hannah Montana. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, and I didn't even get a chance. One
Speaker 5: of my favorite things is to see with people that
Speaker 5: have these like crazy careers. Now that Disney Plus is
Speaker 5: bringing all the resurgence back, Like, has anyone brought up
Speaker 5: like oh my gosh, yeah, I remember you and Hounded
Speaker 5: or or I saw you on Hannah Montana.
Speaker 4: You know, I wonder.
Speaker 5: I always wonder with that, like how often that happens
Speaker 5: because they feel like the.
Speaker 2: New treat Next time, well, he would ask him, next time.
Speaker 4: I gotta gotta make a note.
Speaker 2: That was so cool.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you everybody for joining us, and thank you
Speaker 1: mister ed Bagley Junior for taking the time. That was
Speaker 1: truly a magical experience for both of us, for two
Speaker 1: actors who have grown up watching all of your work,
Speaker 1: and just to hear that mash.
Speaker 2: Was a great set. That alone has worth the price
Speaker 2: of admission for me.
Speaker 1: So thank you everybody for joining us, and don't forget
Speaker 1: to join us. Next time we're gonna be watching Kadet Kelly,
Speaker 1: which going to be kind of cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So this is one of my top movies. That
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 5: This movie was one of the ones that made me
Speaker 5: die to want to be on the channel.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't well, I can't wait, and I can
Speaker 1: tell you I reached out to Christy.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, right now she's filming a movie.
Speaker 4: She is she is so excited.
Speaker 2: Filming a movie. She's having a free time, Sir.
Speaker 4: Slash Disney movie too.
Speaker 1: She's not going to be able to join us this time.
Speaker 1: But when she's done shooting, she'll come back. She already said,
Speaker 1: She's like, I'll come back and I'll talk about Cadet
Speaker 1: Kelly and all that good kind of stuff. So she
Speaker 1: will be on the show again to talk about it,
Speaker 1: but it won't be next time. But you will be
Speaker 1: there next time with us, I hope to.
Speaker 2: You know, just enjoy the process.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, wash the taste of Hounded out
Speaker 1: of our mouths, but I'm not gonna say that because
Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad when I recapped it as it
Speaker 1: was when I thought I was watching it. Because again,
Speaker 1: even when a script is not that great, when the
Speaker 1: cast is that good. Yeah, and that's what it did.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely what it did. Any other cast that movie
Speaker 1: would have been almost unwatchable. But with the three or
Speaker 1: four people that were in there that were doing their thing,
Speaker 1: it was not that bad. Yes, So again, thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us. Thank you mister Ed Bagley Junior. Thank
Speaker 1: you Sabrina for allowing me to geek out a little bit.
Speaker 1: I know I was I monopolized.
Speaker 4: That entire Okay, I could.
Speaker 5: I mean, this was a big one. This was a
Speaker 5: big one for you, so I was excited just to
Speaker 5: be there.
Speaker 2: That was a cool one. And thank you everybody, and
Speaker 2: we will see you next time. Bye bye,
