#Quote
1Look, it's only acting and it's only a movie. I hope that people think my work is good and that they see me as somebody who's a professional at what he does. But hey! The bottom line is that I'm doing blue collar work for white collar money.
2My career has always been a runaway kind of baffling thing. I've never been a big science fiction and fantasy fan, but I get picked for those kinds of roles. I don't think there's any great cosmic reason for the way my career has gone. I've just been in the right place at the right time when these films have come along.
3I have a family to raise and a son to educate, so I do work for the work and the money. But that doesn't mean I do everything offered to me. If I see a character I like, I do it. It's what I do, it's what I am. Each thing you do just keeps your instrument tuned. Work is good for your soul and I would say I'm a pretty soulful guy.
4[1997 interview] I've been an actor for 25 years, so there's certainly a bag of tricks that each of us have. It's just what I do for a living. It depends on the character I'm playing at the time. I try to live up to the way I was trained as an actor. I figure I owe the audience a good performance.
#Fact
1Two featured characters in Norman Lear's "All That Glitters" television series were Eileen Brennan as Ma Packer and her lazy son, Sonny Packer, played by Tim Thomerson. Sonny's (Thomerson's) role idol and wannabe impersonation of an Elvis Presley character, always strumming his guitar, practicing swinging hips and rock movements was diligently encouraged by his Ma (Eileen Brennan) Packer. Their principal abode was a run down farm shack. In preparation for the first introduction of the outlandish pair, director Herb Kenwith and Eileen requested the littered straw and dirt studio set floor be inhabited with a small pot bellied pig and a dozen chickens. The first day to video-tape Ma and Sonny Packer's introduction in the series, Eileen picked up one of the hens, holding the chicken in her arms like a pet cat, petting and soothing the clucking hen while performing her character's motherly role. The entire week of staged scenes, Eileen carried the same hen in her arms, with the chickens pecking seeds from the straw on the ramshackle shack floor. The following week, the "All That Glitters" staff of women producers decided to cancel Eileen's on-set chicken wrangler and his livestock. Arriving early on the ramshackle set for rehearsal, Eileen and Herb confronted the dull witted lady producers. Where were the Chickens? Canceled to save money on a chicken wrangler and his flock of hens! The cast and crew waited for one hour while the wrangler and his flock of hens could arrive. Thereafter, Eileen, her chicken-hen co-star, with the floor flock of hens were featured until Ma moved uptown, with Sonny becoming a full fledged rock star on a local television station talent show, landing a gig at a local Western bar and stardom! Ma Packer, now a sexy glamorous theatrical agent, became a music-rock group phenomena.
2Has done 9 films with director Albert Pyun.
3Has starred in two different Jekyll/Hyde movies: "Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again" (1982) and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (2006).
4In a candy commercial, he played the Blur, obviously based on the Flash. He also played the Flash's brother on TV.
5Started out his career as a stand-up comedian who made it all the way to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962).
6Veteran tough guy actor of "B" sci-fi thrillers and violent action, portraying both virile anti-heroes and heavies.
7Studied at the Stella Adler Conservatory for four years.
8Served together with the late actor Brion James as cooks in a tank company while in the Army Reserve in California.
9Has appeared in four movies taking place during the Vietnam war: Uncommon Valor (1983), Volunteers (1985), Air America (1990) and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998).
