Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Caston's new video.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Al, Rob, Let's set the tone because I
Speaker 2: know you know where to find this. In a moment's notice,
Speaker 2: let's get the theme that would be appropriate to be
Speaker 2: played to kick off these next two hours with the theme.
Speaker 2: I need not say the theme because Rob, you know
Speaker 2: the theme. And for people who haven't been listening to
Speaker 2: me all night long, they have yet they be in
Speaker 2: ARM Productions, EO, N. Everything or nothing is what that
Speaker 2: stands for. They have yet to choose an actor to
Speaker 2: play James Bond. There you go. If you saw the
Speaker 2: last Daniel Craig movie, you know it didn't work out
Speaker 2: well for Bond at the very end of the movie.
Speaker 2: They need a new one. You you sitting at home,
Speaker 2: You can help pick the next James Bond because my
Speaker 2: current guest has written a number of books on Bond
Speaker 2: and Twilight Zone, and he has the wherewithal to get
Speaker 2: in touch with someone, someones in charge of decision making
Speaker 2: it Eon Productions. Please let me welcome my friend. I
Speaker 2: can call him back because I've been interviewing him on
Speaker 2: the radio for over fifteen or twenty years. Mister Stephen J. Rubin,
Speaker 2: Good evening, Stephen.
Speaker 3: Top of the evening, Morgan, and how the heck are you?
Speaker 3: I am terrific and I this is gonna be fun
Speaker 3: tonight because this is a big question in the world.
Speaker 3: There are many big questions in the world, some affecting
Speaker 3: millions of lives. But on the creative, colorful art side,
Speaker 3: what's a bigger question than who will be the next
Speaker 3: James Bond?
Speaker 2: And I opened it up to who would have made
Speaker 2: a great James Bond? They can, they can have passed
Speaker 2: on if you want to throw their name into the hat. Great.
Speaker 2: There is no right or wrong answer. And if you
Speaker 2: indeed want to call six one, seven, two, five, fourteen
Speaker 2: thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine, ten thirty,
Speaker 2: guess what you can't The lines are full already, So
Speaker 2: as one call waves goodbye to the best your candidw
Speaker 2: quick like a rabbit, and uh, you'll be within the
Speaker 2: third or fourth person that I will take next. And
Speaker 2: now you all know what I expect of you. Nancy,
Speaker 2: who are you going to punch the button for? First?
Speaker 2: Push the button, Florence, welcome aboard. Who do you think
Speaker 2: should be the next James Bond?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Before right, tell you, Morgan, good evening.
Speaker 2: Good evening, and Dan.
Speaker 4: Gray said to tell you, he says hello to you.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
Speaker 4: And my choice before I even say it, my favorite
Speaker 4: Bond music theme is Goldfinger.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's the.
Speaker 4: Number one favorite, all right. And my choice I'm going
Speaker 4: to give you is Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: He makes sense.
Speaker 4: He write his name, then he can play many roles
Speaker 4: and they can polish him up for that. I'll make
Speaker 4: a bed on it.
Speaker 2: Don't forget he's a he's a Broadway after Yeah, to
Speaker 2: Broadway after he played Curly from Oklahoma, and to go
Speaker 2: from that to playing Us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know I.
Speaker 4: Remember Lawrence Flawrence.
Speaker 2: Let my guests get a word in.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Laura Florence, Florence. I'm going to jump in
Speaker 3: real quickly because I love you Jackman. Hugh Jackman is
Speaker 3: a terrific presence whenever he's seen. But he was born
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty eight. That means he's fifty seven years old.
Speaker 3: And you can't start your Bond career at fifty seven
Speaker 3: because remember they're not just asking you to play Bond
Speaker 3: for one movie. Generally, you have to sign to make
Speaker 3: four or five movies, right, So Unfortunately, the same thing
Speaker 3: I would say about Idris Elba. A lot of people
Speaker 3: are suggesting Idris Elba as a Blackbond, and it's a
Speaker 3: great choice, but Idris is also over fifty, so you
Speaker 3: gotta go for somebody younger at Alba. Florence, I respect
Speaker 3: your choice because I've always been a huge Jackman fan.
Speaker 3: I think that though. My favorite of his is where
Speaker 3: he played opposite met Ryan and Kate and Leopold, which
Speaker 3: is a classic time travel movie.
Speaker 2: All right, Florence, do you want to say a few
Speaker 2: more words?
Speaker 6: A few more words?
Speaker 2: Hugh Jack Jackman.
Speaker 4: I liked the movie Australia. He was him with Nicole Kidman,
Speaker 4: and I wanted to say, I don't know a younger
Speaker 4: actor that I could choose. Okay, yeah, but he's my guy,
Speaker 4: all right, you know, he's one I thought of.
Speaker 3: You know, he's a good choice, Laurence, A good choice,
Speaker 3: excellent choice, and I wish we could have gotten them
Speaker 3: about twenty years ago.
Speaker 7: Thank you for that.
Speaker 4: Good bye, Okay, good night?
Speaker 2: All right one open line six one seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine
Speaker 2: ten thirty. We're gonna have fun with this subject and
Speaker 2: if Rob if I take a call now it's ten thirteen,
Speaker 2: I guarantee you we're gonna go past ten fifteen. So
Speaker 2: why you take that person who's called in. I'm going
Speaker 2: to uh back and feel a bit and then take
Speaker 2: the break. So again, I'm on tomorrow night. The first hour,
Speaker 2: I want you to make a suggestion for a trivia
Speaker 2: subject for me to write fifty questions. That's for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Claio Campbell will be joining me, and he and I
Speaker 2: are gonna be talking about well performers, singers that fit
Speaker 2: the blue eyed soul category. All right, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to take a break. We've got Alison next in Portland,
Speaker 2: Dave in Colorado, and Darryl calling from Canada. As you
Speaker 2: can see, Stephen, we have an international setup of phone calls,
Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna have fun over the next
Speaker 2: two hours with this subject. My guest Stephen J. Rubin,
Speaker 2: and he's got the air of one or two people
Speaker 2: over at Eon Productions. So whenever we choose tonight, whoever
Speaker 2: gets to most votes, whoever we choose tonight, he will
Speaker 2: let them know over at Eon Productions, won't you, Steven.
Speaker 3: Well, you know I'll just interrupt you for one quick second.
Speaker 3: It's no longer Eon Productions Morgan than the word we're
Speaker 3: getting it to is Amazon. Amazon pay a billion dollars
Speaker 3: for the creative wherewithal Oh.
Speaker 2: My goodness, what's it called now?
Speaker 3: Well, it's just Amazon. The creative decision to who's gonna
Speaker 3: play Bond, what the script is going to be, where
Speaker 3: it's going to be shot, et cetera, et cetera is
Speaker 3: all up to Amazon and Amy Pascal, who is a
Speaker 3: former Sony Pictures executive, and David Hayman, who produced Harry
Speaker 3: Potter movies. They're the people we need to get the
Speaker 3: info to.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you can handle that.
Speaker 3: I can handle it perfect.
Speaker 2: And just as a place where a shooting city backdrop,
Speaker 2: we have a castle right in the center of Boston.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say. Time ten fifteen, temperature seventy
Speaker 2: three degrees.
Speaker 3: Do you expect me to talk?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: Who is I expect you to die?
Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z,
Speaker 1: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: We are back when I say we Stephen J. Rubens
Speaker 2: here and written a number of books on Bond, James
Speaker 2: Bond and Steve and I are entertaining your phone calls
Speaker 2: on who should be the next James Bond or if
Speaker 2: we could bring somebody back, how would that be? And
Speaker 2: I know it. Don't go for the easy names of
Speaker 2: Sean Connery or Roger Moore or George Lassenbee or Timothy Dalton.
Speaker 2: Don't do that. They are exempt. Allison. Welcome now, Alison
Speaker 2: before Alison, before you say a word, take a breath, go.
Speaker 8: Okay. Anyway, Yeah, one of my favorite topics is, you know,
Speaker 8: I thought you're doing this tomorrow, so it's a good
Speaker 8: thing I revers ning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like you
Speaker 8: Jackman two. I like the pristige you'll at that film
Speaker 8: and prestige, but the it's true. I mean Roger Moore
Speaker 8: was fifty seven when he did his last Bond film,
Speaker 8: so yeah, he's too old. Anyway. I'm four square for
Speaker 8: Tom Hardy myself, so I think he's really really amazing
Speaker 8: and very versatile. I don't know if you or your
Speaker 8: guests have seen, uh the movie the it's called It's
Speaker 8: just got a boring titles called Legend, where he played
Speaker 8: the Cray twins, you know, the create brothers who were
Speaker 8: the gang leaders in East London in the sixties, and
Speaker 8: you know, he played both both of them twins, you know,
Speaker 8: and one's gay and one straight too, and it's just
Speaker 8: absolutely amazing performances and so and of course he can
Speaker 8: do the action. That's not a problem even so I
Speaker 8: just I don't know. I just think he would be
Speaker 8: a factious choice.
Speaker 2: What do you think about Tom Hardy?
Speaker 3: Well, he is he qualifies as a real badass and
Speaker 3: that's the quality that bondies in this world to. So,
Speaker 3: uh does he have the charisma to to woo the ladies,
Speaker 3: which I think is a key factor since Alison is
Speaker 3: a big fan. What do you think, Allison?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, Yeah, I mean I think he's yeah,
Speaker 8: I really do. Yeah, And he can be very scary too,
Speaker 8: but he can very I don't know, and he can
Speaker 8: pull off the kind of swab swabs in or whatever
Speaker 8: the word is in a weird way into the craze
Speaker 8: because you know, I mean, certainly with I always get the
Speaker 8: mixed up. Is it Richie, Reggie or Ronnie? I can't
Speaker 8: remember the one, you know, the one, the one who's
Speaker 8: heterosexual anyway, and the other and he's so just funny
Speaker 8: and wild. There's a gay one too, So and you know,
Speaker 8: he started out with really really extreme movies like Bronson
Speaker 8: and stuff. But I know, I just I don't know.
Speaker 8: I just think he's a great choice personally, you know, people,
Speaker 8: I just I really do. Do you know how old
Speaker 8: he is? I'm not really sure forties or do you either?
Speaker 8: You know how old he is?
Speaker 3: Okay, oh yeah, I'll tell you in two seconds, speaker.
Speaker 3: It's an important question. Yeah, I'm born in nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 3: so he's eight, So he'll be forty September September fifteenth.
Speaker 3: He's on the border line. I think he's perstinally certainly
Speaker 3: should be considered because people kind of know who he is,
Speaker 3: but a lot of people don't know his name, which
Speaker 3: I think is good because when Daniel Craig became Bond,
Speaker 3: nobody really knew who Daniel Craig was. They s yeah
Speaker 3: and real quick.
Speaker 2: I went into the last break telling you this, I
Speaker 2: think a good plot. We in Boston have a castle
Speaker 2: right now. It's being used for the Titanic exhibit, but
Speaker 2: it's right in the center of downtown Boston and just
Speaker 2: to be used as a backdrop set. I think that
Speaker 2: would be a great angle for a Bond.
Speaker 3: Film, Morgan, we're casting James Bond, not King Arthur.
Speaker 9: Oh, but.
Speaker 2: England. I know, I know how they've strayed from there,
Speaker 2: but they stressed that in the past couple of films.
Speaker 8: Oh. The last film was such a disaster though. It
Speaker 8: just it just broke my heart on it was so
Speaker 8: the script was so bad.
Speaker 2: I did not like the way it ended.
Speaker 8: And it just went on forever. It just went on forever.
Speaker 8: I mean, Ronnie Mollock was good as a villain, but
Speaker 8: that was about it, you know, And so they need
Speaker 8: better writing. I wonder what Guy Richie's version would have been,
Speaker 8: because they fired him and then the last minute and
Speaker 8: got other people. I don't know, it might have been better.
Speaker 8: I think just about any coming. There's also the longest Bond.
Speaker 8: It really was. It went on for.
Speaker 2: Let me move along because I'm to give a lot
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 8: Okay, just but please Tom Hardy, Yes, yes, yes, anyway,
Speaker 8: thanks so much.
Speaker 2: Going to talk to you goodP in line six ten
Speaker 2: thirty eight eight eight nine to nine, ten thirty And
Speaker 2: now let's go to Colorado and speak to Dave. Dave.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Night Side.
Speaker 9: Hey guys, Okay, my vote is for John Kiriaku, the
Speaker 9: actual CIA agent who I believe led the raid that
Speaker 9: captured Al Qaeda's number three, but then subsequently discovered his
Speaker 9: prisoner was being tortured by the CIA, blew the whistle
Speaker 9: on national television and became the only person ever to
Speaker 9: be arrested and served time in connection with the CIA
Speaker 9: torture scandal.
Speaker 2: All right, Steven, what do you think?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking him up on Google. I don't how
Speaker 3: do you spell his last name?
Speaker 9: I don't know exactly. It's Greek. It would end with
Speaker 9: an ou that it starts with k I R I think,
Speaker 9: And of course I'm being half joking in a way
Speaker 9: that makes this more serious. He is too.
Speaker 6: Old, probably he's sixty.
Speaker 2: Oh he was.
Speaker 3: He was born just a few months before Goldfinger is released.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, all right, nothing to add. How tall is he? Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: He's big though.
Speaker 3: It doesn't say how tall he is in his breakdown,
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's going to be matter because
Speaker 3: he may be tall, but he's also long.
Speaker 2: In the two, the barn should be over six foot tall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I don't think Dan. You know
Speaker 3: Craig was over six foot I think he was more
Speaker 3: of five to ten. I think I'm not on the preventure,
Speaker 3: but I think he.
Speaker 2: Was close to maybe five eleven and a half.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna look it up right now. I think interestingly,
Speaker 3: Timothy Dalton, which I don't necessarily think of as a
Speaker 3: tall man, was the tallest Bond.
Speaker 2: He was taller than he.
Speaker 3: Was taller than Sean Connery. I recently learned that Let's
Speaker 3: see and because they did one of those lit those
Speaker 3: stories in one of the entertainment papers about the height
Speaker 3: of the various and and let's see under Daniel Craig.
Speaker 3: D No, it doesn't say his height, but he's close
Speaker 3: to sixty.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, thank you?
Speaker 3: Yes, by the way more And when Daniel Craig got
Speaker 3: to roll, a lot of us were very disparaging of him.
Speaker 3: We kind of referred to him as that blonde Bond
Speaker 3: and we didn't know anything about him. And literally blew
Speaker 3: our socks off with that first movie, Casino Reale, when
Speaker 3: he's chasing that bomb maker over those cranes and construction sites.
Speaker 3: It was truly thrilling.
Speaker 2: It was. And that was a long opening and the
Speaker 2: opening credit scene.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 2: The scene from that movie in the chair. Now we've
Speaker 2: seen Bond captured and tortured in the past, now about
Speaker 2: to be split by a laser where he only had
Speaker 2: his wits to drop the right words to get Goldfinger
Speaker 2: to well, maybe we should let you live a while longer.
Speaker 2: But that, by the way, yes, go ahead.
Speaker 3: By the way, I just looked it up. Daniel Craig
Speaker 3: is five.
Speaker 2: Okay, But that chair scene, oh my.
Speaker 3: God, Oh my god, that's right out of the Flending novel.
Speaker 3: I never quite knew what a carpet beat it was
Speaker 3: in my scene, Oh my goodness. And and Daniel Craig's
Speaker 3: performance there was just terrific.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm trying to think, give me a second, um,
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what was the one in Vegas? Diamonds
Speaker 2: Are Forever? In the book, Barn is captured by the
Speaker 2: bad guys and they all wore hotnail boots and said,
Speaker 2: let's give him an eighty five percent stop. Barn got
Speaker 2: beaten up pretty well, then, huh, I'm in the movie.
Speaker 3: He shoved into that furnace where he's about to be cremated.
Speaker 3: That may have been for me even scarier than the
Speaker 3: laser beam. The laser beam thing was was very It
Speaker 3: wasn't so much scary. This made you kind of you
Speaker 3: made your skin crawl as that laser beams approaching as privates.
Speaker 3: But when you're thrown into a kiln or whatever they
Speaker 3: call that, you're and.
Speaker 2: You're in a casket, you can't escape.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I talk about claustrophobia.
Speaker 2: Let me take my break and tell people, yes, we
Speaker 2: still get full lines time and temperature ten thirty seventy
Speaker 2: three degrees. Admire your courage, miss Sylvia Change, I admire
Speaker 2: your luck, mister Bun.
Speaker 1: James Bond, you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on
Speaker 1: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 9: My name.
Speaker 2: I want to toss him to the hat of who
Speaker 2: should be the next James Bond. He's played Napoleon Solo,
Speaker 2: He's played Clark Kent slash Superman. Henry Clavel Steven. What
Speaker 2: do you think about Henry?
Speaker 3: Well, he is what I call the safe choice Morgan.
Speaker 3: He has a he certainly checks all the boxes. He's physical,
Speaker 3: he's attractive, he's very British. He has kind of a
Speaker 3: Roger Moore aura. I think it's a safe choice. But
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go through my little file here
Speaker 3: and look up Henry real quickly, because Henry's getting on
Speaker 3: in years two and I hate to keep bringing up
Speaker 3: the age question, but it is a question because generally
Speaker 3: we want to bond for at least five films, as
Speaker 3: Craig did, and Henry Henry was born in eighty three,
Speaker 3: so Henry's forty two, so he is very much in
Speaker 3: the prime of I think he would be a good bond.
Speaker 3: I think he'd be a safe bond. I think it
Speaker 3: was a good choice.
Speaker 2: Let's go to New Brunswick and take Darryl Darryl good Evening.
Speaker 2: Who is your bond.
Speaker 10: Hey good Evening, Morgan and Steven. I would actually go
Speaker 10: with a couple of different choices because you're going with
Speaker 10: the British accent. And when you actually read watch the
Speaker 10: trailers of different DVDs, there was the person that played
Speaker 10: Morgan Dexter, and there was also a there was another
Speaker 10: actor I can't put his name right anyways, but also
Speaker 10: with the movie prison Break, there was a person called
Speaker 10: Michael Schofield because he showed where he can wear a
Speaker 10: tuxedo and whatnot and for elements right, and there was
Speaker 10: also another prisoner from the pententiary. He was in the
Speaker 10: military I don't know his name. I can't remember his
Speaker 10: stream name, and but those are would be some of
Speaker 10: the ideas.
Speaker 2: Okay, and Steven, how do you feel?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking at the cast of prison Break. Which
Speaker 3: actor did you mention?
Speaker 6: The person who was Michael Schofield? Michael Schofield, I'm looking
Speaker 6: amongst the main actor besides Lincoln Burroughs. Okay, I'm looking.
Speaker 3: Oh, the Michael Scofield is his character name. The actor's
Speaker 3: name is Wentworth Miller, Wentworth Miller, and he is British.
Speaker 3: He was born in Oxford, so he qualifies there. Interesting choice.
Speaker 3: I actually I will put him down on my list
Speaker 3: because I did not. I did not. I didn't watch
Speaker 3: prison Break. But you're saying he was very good.
Speaker 10: Uh Oh, I watched the whole four series right at
Speaker 10: the end, and it turned out he died on my birthday.
Speaker 10: So no, it's the comical error, right, Okay, But but
Speaker 10: there was also the Native American in there that he
Speaker 10: was the army person that was framed, and he was
Speaker 10: part of the escape group and he ended up hooking
Speaker 10: up with Sukra down the road. The different actors, so again,
Speaker 10: you don't need to stick to a certain Caucasian or
Speaker 10: whatever as well.
Speaker 3: Right, well, that now that is the course, the big
Speaker 3: explosive question, you know, because a lot of people have
Speaker 3: recommended Idris Elba, and Idris Elba's black. I you know,
Speaker 3: I think that this is my take on it. This
Speaker 3: is a moment billion dollar franchise. Amazon didn't buy the
Speaker 3: MGM Library for a lot of titles. They bought it
Speaker 3: for three or four franchises, especially the James Bond franchise.
Speaker 3: This franchise has made billions of dollars over the years.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna mess with the formula. So my sense is,
Speaker 3: and I, you know, I'll take the brick bats, but
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a white guy. He's going
Speaker 3: to be a Commonwealth act probably England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia,
Speaker 3: even well maybe Canada at least that qualifies. But that's
Speaker 3: my take.
Speaker 10: Well, I'm only five eleven and three quarters and I
Speaker 10: get a bad leg, so I'm not qualifying.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a monkey wrench. I don't agree with
Speaker 2: this because he's too short and he is black. Joel
Speaker 2: Silver at one time one they have Eddie Murphy as Bond.
Speaker 3: I only in a comedy Morgan, if you're gonna remake
Speaker 3: Casino Royal as a goofy Woody Allen Peters Seller's David
Speaker 3: nivencom there you go. But but I choke on the
Speaker 3: name Murphy because ed I love Eddie, Eddie, as they say,
Speaker 3: Eddie should stay in his lane.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I I agree with your setup the performance.
Speaker 10: Trailers that you can actually hang on the back and
Speaker 10: swing back and forth with the cart and cigarettes in
Speaker 10: the back.
Speaker 2: Right, okay, but you know what the right I know.
Speaker 2: I remember the movie. It was the second Beverly Hills car.
Speaker 2: I want the actor to be white, six foot tall
Speaker 2: at least at least and if we can, he comes
Speaker 2: from the British Isles or as Steven said, I might
Speaker 2: accept Canada or Australia, but they don't want to straight
Speaker 2: from that.
Speaker 3: When when Kubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman were casting James Bond,
Speaker 3: Cubby told me much later that they wanted a guy
Speaker 3: who was good with his fists and was very physical.
Speaker 3: They were patterning him a little bit on the kind
Speaker 3: of rough Private Eye characters of Mickey Spillane. Great question
Speaker 3: of who is going to beat the crap out of
Speaker 3: and that is James Bond. Jams James Bond is not
Speaker 3: light on his feet. He's very heavy on his feet.
Speaker 2: And when they picked Sean Connery, Sultimate and Bricoley looked
Speaker 2: out the window. They were like on the second floor
Speaker 2: and here comes Sean Conry crossing the street. And he
Speaker 2: said to each other, that's the guy. His walk told
Speaker 2: them that's the guy.
Speaker 3: And then they said he walked like a cat.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So in other words, he was somebody who you could
Speaker 3: picture skulking around as a secret agent. I mean, and
Speaker 3: he's a big man, I mean sky Sean six's four. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, he's a he's the big guy. And uh,
Speaker 3: but what charisma that guy had. I mean that very
Speaker 3: first scene when he's sitting at the back are at
Speaker 3: table opposite Sylvia Trench and you played that little audio clip, yes.
Speaker 2: Or it was the first time we heard him say Bond.
Speaker 3: James Bond and Terrence Young, who directed that first James
Speaker 3: Bond movie, Doctor No, and then subsequently From Russia with
Speaker 3: Love and Thunderball, he said that he patterned the introduction
Speaker 3: of James Bond on an old Paul Muni movie called Warrez,
Speaker 3: where they introduced the character from the back, and then
Speaker 3: they flipped around to the front, and then in the
Speaker 3: same thing with Bond turns around, says Bomb. James Bond.
Speaker 3: One of the great introductions of an actor character in
Speaker 3: the history of cinema.
Speaker 10: There you go, Well, when when when you can recognize
Speaker 10: talent like that just by observation. And at the same time,
Speaker 10: Willie Nelson's of the question, right.
Speaker 3: Willing Nelson, we gotta get we gotta have.
Speaker 10: Some humor in here.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Willie Nelson's fits for every wrong reason. He's
Speaker 2: under six foot tall, he's ninety ninety.
Speaker 10: No, but that's what That's why I asked.
Speaker 3: He's out of the question. Maybe Morgan, maybe do a
Speaker 3: little Irish jig at the end titles role.
Speaker 10: Okay, well I leave you can can I leave you
Speaker 10: the guys with this?
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 10: When I went to basic training because of the Bond thing,
Speaker 10: the James Bond, we had a guy named Boone. He
Speaker 10: said to the instructor, my name is Boone, James Boone.
Speaker 2: And did the instructor get it?
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, and he got twenty five more pushups.
Speaker 2: Darryl, thank you for the call.
Speaker 6: Take care in great Greg, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Darryld's line is now vacant. If you want to dial it,
Speaker 2: you'll be the third person that gets to speak with
Speaker 2: Stephen and I about Bond, James Bond. We're going to
Speaker 2: take a break and when we come back we'll deal
Speaker 2: with David in San Francisco and Robert in New Brunswick.
Speaker 2: And you tell the phone number six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty or eight eight, eight nine, two nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Time and temperature here on night's side and
Speaker 2: raised off tonight. I'm here, Morgan White Junior. Time ten
Speaker 2: forty five, temperature seventy three degrees. Now this one I'm
Speaker 2: particularly keen about it. You see the gear lever here.
Speaker 3: Now, if you take the top off, you will find
Speaker 3: a little red bottle.
Speaker 2: Whatever you do, don't touch it.
Speaker 10: No, why not?

Speaker 5: Well in that movie in the Runaway Training, he was incredible.
Speaker 5: He was welded into his cell because he was so
Speaker 5: nasty and h and Eric Roberts was good too. I've
Speaker 5: always liked Eric Roberts.

Speaker 2: Bye bye. David's line is open and available six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: fourteen thirty or never mind, because it's already been taken.
Speaker 3: Let's go Morgan real quickly. Back in eighty six, I
Speaker 3: was assigned to work on a John Boyd movie shooting
Speaker 3: in Tucson, Arizona, called Desert Bloom.
Speaker 2: It was about movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was about a family living near the testing sites.
Speaker 3: Back in the nineteen fifties, and John Boyd does not
Speaker 3: like to do publicity. So somehow, over the three months
Speaker 3: I spent with him, I got in to do some publicity.
Speaker 3: So on my next assignment, I'm assigned to run Away
Speaker 3: Train and I'm about to go up to Montana or
Speaker 3: Dakota or whatever. And John Boyd I was going to
Speaker 3: be the publicist on the show, and.
Speaker 10: I got fired because he didn't.
Speaker 2: Want to have to put up with you making him
Speaker 2: do another publicity bit.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly. Although I bump into John, I laugh about
Speaker 3: it now. And John, of course is one of the
Speaker 3: ambassadors that the President has appointed to LA as a
Speaker 3: Hollywood ambassador, and I hope he gets some things done.
Speaker 3: We're trying to get more tax credits.
Speaker 2: Well let's see what happens down the road. But right
Speaker 2: now we've got Robert and New Brunswick Robert line too.
Speaker 2: How are you.
Speaker 6: So it's got great?
Speaker 7: Great?
Speaker 6: I didn't have a I don't need a great deal
Speaker 6: of time. But my suggestion is l.
Speaker 2: Fines Ralph finds interesting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, active in English Dragon.
Speaker 3: He's a wonderful actor. We all love Ray Fines, but
Speaker 3: he's way too old unfortunately, right fine, I know.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I hear you. But think about two scenes,
Speaker 6: two different movies too briefly, and I'm over in Red
Speaker 6: Dragon that scene where he bought the librarian on the
Speaker 6: head and then he ate the drawing of the the dragon.
Speaker 6: Yes and yeah, and the other scene from the English
Speaker 6: Station when he was carrying his lover out of the cave.
Speaker 6: I mean that guy, talk to me. He's like he
Speaker 6: would be a perfect one.
Speaker 2: And didn't. He also play Patrick McNee in the movie
Speaker 2: version of The Avengers.
Speaker 3: He played Johns.
Speaker 2: He played John Steve.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know all his movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, back when he was in his surtees, he would
Speaker 3: have been a really good choice. But he was born
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty two, so he's sixty three years old.
Speaker 3: You know. I don't know if you've been noticing lately
Speaker 3: he's been playing m he's been playing Bond's boss in
Speaker 3: the last few Bond movies.
Speaker 2: He's the right age for that.
Speaker 6: Exactly.
Speaker 3: But we Bob Ray finds, uh, he'd be great.
Speaker 6: All right, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to take one more before we
Speaker 2: take a news hit. So the line's open, grab it,
Speaker 2: and let's go to Wellesley and speak to Robert Robert.
Speaker 7: Good evening, oh good evening, Morgan, and good evening to
Speaker 7: your to your guest, mister Stephen Rubin. And I like
Speaker 7: the second second suggestion of of Henry Clovell and uh
Speaker 7: prass bring back David Nevin as a as A as
Speaker 7: A as one of the ones that one of the
Speaker 7: less known, too short, well well known, well known actor,
Speaker 7: but a.
Speaker 2: Well known actor in his prime. Yeah, he could have
Speaker 2: played James Bond, but he's too short.
Speaker 3: Well, actually, actually he did play James Bond. David Niven
Speaker 3: played James Bond.
Speaker 2: In the sixth version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. He was very upper krusty and and elegant
Speaker 3: and with that mustache, and it's the movie was a
Speaker 3: complete uh you know, uh stand up of Bond and
Speaker 3: let me.
Speaker 2: Tell you something. Let me tell you something. In Boston,
Speaker 2: there was a promotion if you wore a trench coat
Speaker 2: to the midnight showing of that movie, you got in
Speaker 2: for free. Need I tell you what happened, Stephen. A
Speaker 2: riot took place. The Boston police were called. There was
Speaker 2: no midnight showing because there are like four times the
Speaker 2: amount of people showing up that the theater would have held, so, Robert,
Speaker 2: anything else.
Speaker 7: I think it's interesting that both clovell And and Sean
Speaker 7: Connery or obvious were weightlifters, and I get I didn't
Speaker 7: realize that Sean Connery was a competitive bodybuilder.
Speaker 2: Oh and you want to I'll tell you behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure Steven knows this. When they were filming
Speaker 2: Doctor Now, Sean was flirting heavily with Ursula Andres and
Speaker 2: just to show off, he wound up walk walking on
Speaker 2: his hands. You know, they're between between filming, they're all
Speaker 2: on a quick break, and he winds up walking his
Speaker 2: hands for ten or twelve feet just to show off.
Speaker 2: The little little urstler.
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 7: And another thing I didn't know was that the odd
Speaker 7: job was was actually a Japanese bodybuilder as opposed to a.
Speaker 2: Wrestler, and the wrestle.
Speaker 7: All he wants to Well you'd know that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 7: your field.
