"And just to do things outside the box and one of the things he said is I really want to open up the China market. And he found me in a San Francisco paper when we opened up the theater, and before I knew it, I was now living in Los Angeles with an office in the black tower and still flying back and forth on the China and still dealing with the same big organization in China that did all the ink port export exhibition distribution, but now going through American studio libraries to pluck what we thought were the best films to show in China. And we're talking about not like new releases. These guys haven't had American films since 49. 99. I know. And that was what was incredible. So we had to, you know, I really gauge like, first of all, it was good that we weren't showing you films because we wanted to keep the routine the value of those films. But also if they had seen Star Wars or back the future, their minds would have been blown. I don't they wouldn't have been. So the probably the most popular of the first crop of films was Roman holiday and we were able to bring Gregory Peck over. That's like one of the high points of I have to say, I saw the picture and I'm like, this is like that photo of young Bill Clinton meeting JFK. Do you think that you think that Gregory Peck, if you had told him, all right, Gregory, in 40 years, or whatever, 30 years, this photo is going to have two academy presidents. That's kind of crazy. It's kind of crazy. If you told me, I would say you're out of your mind. But yeah, that was the kind of, you know, it was just so special to, I remember, and by the way, back then, 35 prints. That was literally in so many occasions I found myself dealing with these 35 million with prints that my bicep muscles. Yeah, so just seeing how the Chinese audiences responded to Gregory Peck to the films. We'd sometimes bring over new films that were gentler like out of Africa, I remember, which also became the people I remember Friends by saying the music from out of Africa, oh my God, and it put them in a different dreamscape. You know, they hadn't seen anything like that before. And it was just, I saw I saw them both sides, I saw the. You know, motion pictures and how the really deep, visceral, effect it has some people in ways that you can't even describe. Words can not describe it. It's not a literal thing at all. Also, all of these ways that we've listed and then a few that I'm going to still come to you. I mean, you were probably the, I mean, were and maybe still are that foremost bridge between these two kind of worlds of cinema and I guess the biggest manifestation of that up to that point would be because you're dealing with universal that is also the company that is where amblin was, which is the production company of Spielberg, which I mean, it's kind of a lot of things had to align for this all to work out that he now wants

The Essence of Manhood With Stephen K. Bannon
"Let's talk about what it means to you to be a man. What is the essence of manhood? You've served this nation honorably in uniform. Here we have a picture of the naval officer Steve Bannon. You come from a good Irish Catholic family from Richmond, Virginia. I believe your dad was alignment. What is your definition? What are the non negotiables of being a man? I just think it's do your duty. You know, one thing I tell people about, I talk to a lot of young people about going into the military and because I say it's the best thing you'd ever do to serve your country. I know more, I know so many wealthy individuals in their 40s, 50s or 60s have really made in life and every time I talk to them, the one thing if they didn't do it was go and serve their country in that time period of your 20s when you have the opportunity to do it. So I talk to people. And when I talk to people, I say, look, the military is not an example. It's not Rambo, right? Rambo is a complete cartoon version of the military. The military, if you want to see the military, go watch 12 o'clock high. You know, a watch they were expendable with John Wayne and Robert Montgomery about taking off at a cricket door. These are individuals who are very quiet, very steadfast, very stoic, but understand what first principles are. And are prepared to make a stand and prepare to sacrifice whether that sacrifice is all the way up to their own life or their career or anything else. And that to me is very fortunate to have a father lived a hundred. He was just a blue collar working guy, but it's just that stoicism. And everything that goes with it. And so when you point to people, I say, if you want to see the version of that, you've got the William holdens. In bridge and the river quiet, you've got Gregory Peck in 12 o'clock high. These are examples that I always point out of people that are what I think is the real essence of masculinity. You don't have to be the tough guy walking into the bar like Rambo,

"New York City, two 21 west 21st street. Has all come true. One of the greatest parts of it was that I remember my mother watching the award shows. Sinatra would come on. And I was just a kid, little kid. And Sammy Davis would come out, you know, he would kill the audience. And lo and behold, there I am, headlining Las Vegas at the Las Vegas hill. And meeting all these guys, the first time I met Sinatra, was just before the first hit that they were going to happen. Candida I was working with Clive Davis. At CBS, I was running his music position for him. God bless him for that. And I get a call from Uganda, Chile, who was Frank Sinatra's best friend. And Julie happened to know my dad. You know, my dad, my dad was a furrier. The garment district. He made all the fur coats for those guys. You know what I mean? Andy also made stall Elizabeth Taylor and a movie. I think it was called. I get this call. He says, hey, Tony. Would you like to meet Frank Sinatra tonight? And I'm in my office, what did the client I'm 23 years old? And I said, you can't because no, you have a tuxedo. I said, well, no, but I'll let one. Thank you. Make sure you put a Red Hat in the pocket. That's like white ones just red ones. Which was the tradition of the ham and the Sami and a dean to wear these red hackers. So, to make this long story short, I finally get to the fries club. And there he is. Thanks, Sinatra. It is prime. Standing there in a microphone and asking each one of the stars that were in that green room. To line up so that they can sit at their perfect seats on the dais. The night that they were honoring one of my idols, Jane Kelly. Wow. I can't believe I'm standing there. That's right. As it starts with it. Richard. Elizabeth.

Behind Gregory Peck, Lucy, that's Lucille Ball, and I'm not kidding. I mentioned names that were actually there. And they're all lining up so that they could end up walking up to the dance, and they would find themselves at their proper seating. All of a sudden, I hear Sinatra say, Tony Orlando, follow me. Which put me in front of every one of those stars and behind Sinatra. Wow. No, I'm walking towards the desk, and I'm going. Why are you doing this? I'll tell you later, kid just shut up. Funnel me.

Speaking of Macarthur, let's talk about another movie that has Macarthur featured in it. It's called surprisingly enough. Macarthur, it stars quickly peck. I believe that's from the 70s, right? Yeah, 77. And again, you would think Gregory Peck is Macarthur, what could possibly be wrong with this, Sean? Yeah, it's a biopic. It's been years and years since I saw it. I remember it's very heavily dramatized and it goes through all the way up through is removal from command in Korea. But I think of anybody Gregory Peck sort of gets the, if not the actual character, he gets the essence of the character, the grandeur of what Macarthur would like to be remembered as more than anything else. Of the character, whether or not it was really him or not, but yeah, I think people think of Gregory Peck probably when they think of Macarthur. It's been so long since I saw it though, I can't even give it a rating. I actually own this on DVD. I well, it was part of us like you can buy these packages where you get like four movies for ten bucks or something like that old movies. I have not even watched you. I've probably had it for a year or two and I just haven't felt led to watch it, but I remember being I remember seeing Incheon in 1980 ones Incheon in the theater and I was 7 and being bored to tears and Lawrence of liberty was terrible. Sounds like we are still in want of a really good Macarthur movie, huh? Like something on the lines of the John Adams miniseries or Lincoln. Really we are. But I don't know that anybody would have the I mean, it seems like everybody either goes one direction or the other with them. They either portray him as for a long time they portrayed him as this godlike figure or they portray him as the glory haunt buffoon. And it's a nuance for trail would be interesting. Okay, next farewell to the king, I've never even heard of this one. Yeah, and actually Macarthur is in this one as well. This is actually a really good movie. You should check this one out. It's an unusual film. It stars Nick Nolte and he's an American, I think he's a naval who deserts from the navy. Oh, and he grows his hair out real long. Borneo. Yeah, the highlands. Yeah, I remember when that came out. Yeah. And he lives with native tribes headhunters in Borneo and sort of becomes the king of them. They actually does become the king of this tribe, and then British officer comes to convince him our friend, the doctor, doctor Rollins, from empire of the sun. Nigel havers. He was also in the church of fire. But yeah, he comes to convince him to come away with him to basically fight against the Japanese.

John Zmirak: What Can We Learn From 'The Godfather' Films?
"You've written a great piece at stream dot org about The Godfather movies, talk about that. Sure. Well, we just had the 50th anniversary of the first godfather film. And you know, it's kind of something mysterious about art. It's not predictable. The Godfather one and two are among the greatest films in American history. They're based on a pot boiler novel by Mario puto that you would read at the beach of no particular. Yeah, we've got to say this. The novel, it's not like it was a great work of art and they turned into a great movie. It was a middling work of art by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola, ingeniously transformed it into spectacular film. Two, godfather one and godfather two. They're two of the greatest films ever made. I would skip godfather three. We could talk about that later. Well, I'll tell you that he re shot. He re edited godfather three. It's now called godfather coda, the death of Michael Corleone. And it's actually a decent film. But the new godfather three was not a decent film. It was so pathetic that I was actually shocked. But let's forget that. It never happened. Godfather one and two, two, the greatest films ever made. And now that's interesting because, again, based on a mediocre work of fiction, but then some of the great novels like Moby dick turned out to be mediocre films. Nobody remembers the movie of Moby dick. I remember Gregory Peck. Greg, Gregory Peck as ahab on the whale and they say, look, even in death, he beckons anyway, never mind. But you're quite right, some of the greatest works of fiction don't make great movies, but not so with those great movies are based on middle works of fiction. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

"Than just, you know, just a shooting a movie. There are reasons why the cameras placed in various places. For instance, in high noon. Forget the actor's name. Somebody help me. I know. It's not Cary Grant, is it no? Anyway. So in high noon, he shot from above. Now, what does that mean? In film, if you shot from above, it's to make you seem small. Make you seem weak. And don't forget in high noon, he had to take on a whole gang alone. He was a sheriff. Gary Cooper, thank you, roderick Barry. Gary Cooper. What was it Gregory Peck? I don't know. Somebody because now we're getting Gary Cooper. Okay. But they shot him. That's how they would shoot you. So I realized, oh, wow. And then I started to really, really get into it. For instance, if you see a battle between two armies, the one moving left, so screen left to screen right. Is usually going to be the victorious one there, the ones of strength. Why? Because when we write, we write from left to right where comfortable with left to right. Because when it's right to left, it would not as comfortable. So that depicts that army being the weaker army. I'll give you some more that I've given you before. But why not? I'll give you some, but see, I was the first one to bring this up on the stern show. The honeymooners Ralph cramden.

How gregory peck come on board with this. Well we. We were trained to kind of upgrade a little because they've been sold in pitched for longtime has a pill and i felt that by eliminating every is obvious in this script instead of treating as a horrible we treat it as a mystery suspense thriller and therefore you could probably go for a better higher class actor At the moment we were getting down to final decisions.

"So we ended our last segment with our guest terry moore talking about business divorces and he said the first thing you gotta do is document whatever it is about the other person that's causing the problem and so the first thing you wanna do is document that build that file and then are we documenting this in communications. Are we trying to get that person to concede that yes. I do have an alcohol problem. Or yes i did steal or yes i did sexually harass our secretary so Now you've got the evidence You'd be thinking. Oh what's going on you proven it to yourself anyway Anything that you just said might be the right course of action But you have. The next key is to make what. I call a war plan. You've got to decide how you want this to end and once you decide how you want it to end you Can go back to make your plan from the beginning. So my advice at this point is call. A lawyer knows about this stuff that is you. Lay everything out in a lawyer's office and the lawyer might say okay. Here's your options. You've got a really good case. This is a big problem or the lawyer might say you're on thin ice here. You need to get more evidence or what he's doing you don't like it but it's not really wrong. He's just exercising his right to disagree as a partner. Those kind of things lawyer can tell you. Then you make the plan and that's where the lawyer will say you know as you just referenced We need more evidence. We need to try to Confront him in front of witnesses and get him to admit what he's doing But that's kind of tv stuff to you know. I became a lawyer. Because i watched perry mason when i was a kid and i have. I have yet to make somebody break down and confess their guilt on the stand. I'm still working at it though. You know it's funny. You say that. I became a lawyer because i watched to kill a mockingbird in my first year of law school there was a study done of lawyers that had just graduated And they said you know what was your inspiration in number one. Reason was to kill a mockingbird number. Two was my dad's mine wasn't but i'm just saying those. Those were the reasons people had people had become a lawyers. What are the pit flow like. I got interject here. I got interject here to tell you that. I have read to kill a mockingbird almost every single year without fail since nineteen eighty five. I still read them here. I love it. It's the greatest book ever written. Sorry to interrupt no gregory peck ca. I was at university of texas. School of law and gregory peck came and gave a speech and there were five hundred seats in this hall and it was standing room. Only there had to be a thousand people in there because we all gregory peck was atticus finch to us you know. He had been such an influential part part of our professional development. Here we were in law school. Let's talk about the signs that You know as you say in in synopsis of the book. I'm not here to offer business advice. I'm here offered legal advice. I can't help the cobbler. Make better shoes but i can help you. Run your business better and deal with this sometimes. Eventuality of of a business gone wrong. What is the sign that we need to get a lawyer involved. What what is that moment that oh this is no longer something we can work out between the two of us well it comes along And a number of triggers It's when When you see that the for the fourth time your clients taking his spouse along on a business trip on the company dime after you've discussed it with them when you when you're certain That i tell you what the trigger to call. The lawyer is when you are convinced that you'd rather be out of this partnership than in it one way or another whether you're gonna by someone out or get bought out or whatever but so much leads to So many different situations lead to the lead to that conclusion That it's not really a factual buddy see but it is what you feel it. Is you know. I just i gotta get out or by the way there's other there's real good triggers like your partner just sued you your partner. Change the locks I had a client fifty fifty owner He's the president. She's the ceo And they're both the only two board members called me one day and say my partner just fired me from my office as the. Oh what do i do. We looked at. We looked the agreement and said well. Let's fire him. The theory was that you couldn't As a board member be involved in your own employment decisions that's what he fared her right And so we fired him and then his lawyer wait. Nobody's running the business. I said yes. And let's reinstate and both and talk about what we're gonna do for a deal But there's you know that kind of obvious stuff says color lawyer. I gotta tell you terry. When i graduated from law school family members of mine in small town. Nobody had graduated college much less. Go to law school yet. And so people would call and ask me legal questions and i would say i hope companies raise a lot of money and merge and sell off units. I don't do divorce law at a new family. That's not what i do. And i gotta tell you. It's amazed me over the years in twenty five years since i graduated law school. How many people will want legal advice. They don't wanna hire an attorney. I tell them it's the best money you're ever going to spend but legal advice is something they think you ask somebody at a cocktail party and then they. That is a terrible way to go about this. The book is the bulldogs guide to business. Divorce his name is terry moore. It is available now. The bulldog guide to business divorce. And i'm going to give you this advice. Folks hir the attorney on the front end not on the back end. Think about the dissolution of the business before you ever start when things are still going well let me conclude the show by saying this folks. The left is coming after you and every aspect of your life. It's no longer just that they want to take some of your money and close your business now. They now want to run up on you and and put a face diaper on you smother you. They're not gonna stop. And i know it's frustrating. I do and i want you to remember. However we still have to be mommies and daddies husbands and wives we still need to be sons and daughters bosses and employees and coaches and deacons and.

Sixty five thunderball in one thousand nine hundred sixty two's lawrence of arabia. Wow As far as music goes Graham rebel did the music composer here. Born nineteen fifty five unestablished film score composer who. I don't think i will recognize his name. But i've seen plenty of pictures that he scored We discussed him on the episode for ghost in the machine. That's right yeah. That was one thousand nine hundred ghost in the machine. I cannot remember what we even said about the score for ghost in the machine. If it was good or bad or just kind of you know. I think you were mostly unimpressed. Okay we're like I would've liked it cynthia. Yeah that's well. That's that's often my note on things and yeah that's basically the same here. Though he he worked on films like the kroger. The chronicles of riddick which is picture. I really enjoy. But i also don't remember it's It's music at all so not that you obviously need to notice the music so much in a motion picture. I guess there's an argument to be made for the music. Doing its job and not standing out too much but I don't know for me. I like it to stand out the score that plays over the opening credits has a a moment in it. That reminds me of a moment from the scoring aliens. Sort of a to beat pulse.

"Know you buy a pair para nail clippers. Could you review these nail clippers. So i think that you know in defensive critics or good critics good. Critics are one hopes doing more than just thumbs up or thumbs down trying to put a film within the context of film and to have an interesting conversation with their readers about what this film was what it was trying to do. And why you thought at were didn't work which is different. From saying it's up or it's great you know but relate to delve into the nuance of it. Any look i mean. I think the in the battle of the internet as you got a lot of thumbs up and thumbs down on the other hand. There's all kinds of intelligence podcasts. Like the when you're doing where people can actually have that conversation and can tell deeper. I think there's a little bit of something for everybody was just probably better than it was before i mean before there was the tyranny of the critics so it was like the new york times and the wall street journal or whatever said a thumbs up Or ebert enciso said thumbs up thumbs down. It was devastating. Now there's a lot of different voices weighing. Yes there's so much. I would follow up on there that i love but i want to hear from ben tune this exact question i think julie said is is is is spot on in the like you can do it for yourself but i think i don't think i don't influence the culture. I think it would serve us all to allow considerably more gray into our life. And into our analysis i also think disliking things or demeaning other people's work erodes our soul a little That's not meeting. that isn't that again. I've said this never interviewed today. That is not a as nothing to do with legit criticism. There's huge value to it. I mean that gets you talking about. Thanks right i mean the idea. Is you know you. You make it bizarre. You want people to talk about it you have to recognize. Some people aren't going to like it. Question is how do they not like right. In what way. And and i just. I think we ought to appreciate. I think we ought to appreciate good and fine and okay better than we do. And and and maybe we focused a little bit too much on great. I mean i'm sitting here watching the nba playoffs and reading about nate mcmillan. The inexplicable interim coach of the atlanta hawks and has yet to be hired full. He they have a deal that they just aren't talking about because it would be insane after what he's done not to have that job and to be an incredibly rich man but i was looking at his record and like he's been so good at other places or it's done well of course it matters about the players but we ought to celebrate their for those people who don't know their irregular. Nba season there eighty two games. We ought to spend more time. Appreciating forty eight and thirty four like being good at your job sort of being competent. Getting it done and you can't. It's hard to. There's only one champion a year man. It's hard to win. And there's only one oscar winner and we do it. We do it all the time. The one thing i've stricken from every script i have is gail. But it was the only oscar of gregory peck's career shut up like that he won oscar and he was nominated five times right. You don't wanna make it seem like it's like i don't i just i want us to figure out a way that ideal ideal with with my daughter i want us to teach a losing and i think it's hard and i think teaching losing teaching failure. Because damn you're gonna fail. You're you're going to fail and you're gonna lose as okay so now i agree. I think losing his is a teacher and winning. Because we're so results-oriented winning actually obscures our opportunity to even learn from when we do things well if you win a championship in in the nba. Like say the lakers did last year. It might have obscured some problems that they had that they were not gonna learn from because well winning you know they want so good and this is relevant in movie to how much of it is luck you mentioned casablanca which they're writing the script as they go. I mean some of the studio system prevented some of the wildness that went on and bonfire and some of the inflated because they shot everything casablanca every part of it. Shot at warner bros right or writers though we're on it like oh my god so first of all three main writers wanted more than we right and and they didn't know how it was gonna end and kind of dumb things in there. Like what is was victor laszlo. Doing wearing a white suit like out after curfew to an underground meeting. Like what are you you know like so i get. It may not be the main point of the movie but nonetheless but it's perfect like everything that went wrong and there were problems in bogart and bogart. Bergman didn't like each other. They didn't each other but they had no chemistry right. But it's perfect right. Yes and sometimes. It doesn't matter whether you have chemistry with your co star right an end and sometimes you have great chemistry in the movie. Blows you know tom. Hanks we melanie. Griffith were friendly right. Did matter didn't matter. Didn't a bonfire. Better so i yeah i look. So we're we're in addition happens in sports. It happened in business. It happens in art in moviemaking. Like there's lucky involvement. Sometimes sometimes it just went against you and it's hard. I think for us to accept the randomness of of how little control we have over things. i know. It's hard as humans at influences than the devil's candy is a great example that it will come across. The podcast comes across in the book. Some of this was just a series of they made some bad decisions and then they had some bad luck and then they had to respond to the lock and it just whatever in the end. They didn't overcome it. It's okay we got this book out of it man. It's worth yes. Guest you yes. There's there's all these layers of of where you learn from or where twists and turns and what the value it has. Nobody really understands hers lying if they say they do where. It's all truly headed right that they can understand how the pieces are gonna form together and end up making meaning and that. What's cool about. This situation is what. I only thing i can call it is. There's keeping new keeps being new. Narrative layered on top of what would be considered failure. But there's really no failure here right that everything's growing out of and what's interesting is that I think what. I really enjoy about revisiting. The story in doing the puck has even with you. Know people say oh. It was a failure at the end. But the truth is there are many little triumphs along the way.

He had more business at human in this baby finger than most people have in their whole body. This guy was Mr Show business. He did he could. He could sing as good as anybody out there. Frank Sinatra would tell you, Sami never hit a clinker. He could sing as good as anybody out there. He could dance better than anybody out there. He could do comedy as good as any comedian I ever met. He could do impressions better than any oppression out there. He could play the piano. He could play the drums. He could play the trumpet. He he could do it all. Yeah. And here's a guy that you know, had confidence in you and said, You know, this is this is my guy. We're going to start touring and it really just, you know, put you even though Carson put you on the national stage. You know, Sami and touring and doing those live performances really? Did that as well. And you know you share in the book about the time that you were in Vegas. And just like everybody like a fan, you went to see Sinatra performed at heroes and great story about how that connection all began. Came off stage one night when I was opening for Smokey and I didn't even change out of my state schools. I just both in offstage and ran two doors over the Harris Hotel and was running into the showroom because I didn't want to Miss Franks opening, he created more excitement walking to the microphone. Most people do with the whole act. A room was when Frank Sinatra walked out on stage in place with just the roof would come off. So I want to watch that and I'm rushing in the showroom and the vice president of Harris Hotel, a man named homes, Hendrickson was standing out in front of the showroom with a big, heavyset guy wouldn't live a certain Are and homes saw me and e knew him from working the hotel many times. He should tell me Come here, come here, and I reluctantly went over there decided one of this things opening and he said, Tommy, this is Mickey Ruden. While I recognize the name. That was Frank's enough, his lawyer, he said, Mickey, This is timed Recent. And I think Tom would make a great opening act for Frank Sinatra and the lawyer got a paint expression on his face like he heard it a million times, and he winked at the Vice president, and then he looked at me, he said a kid If I gave you a week with Frank Sinatra, would you want more than 50,000? I should put it this way. Mr Reuben. If you gave me a week with Frank, would you want more than I love this kid, and we, he said, laughing. A week later, They called me to work with Frank at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, and I said, you know, try to get my picture taken with him and hang in every bar in Chicago. And the second night paint was working with him. He took me out to dinner. He and his wife, Barbara, and I can remember like yesterday in the middle of dinner, he said. This knife in this fork down and he said to me, I like your material, and I like your style. I'd like you to do a few other dates with me if you're interested, and I didn't say let me check my calendar, and it turned into 14 years of 45 50 cities a year and most wonderful relationship and friendship and one that I'll take to my grave. Well, he invited you to church. And this is this is another fun story. Good Catholic boy you went then you were asked to be elector, along with Sinatra, Roger Moore and Gregory Peck. What I read that I was like, Get out of here. Yeah, That's what I said to you, he said it was one thing. We're all going to Mass. On Sunday. All the Catholics have to go to master. The Protestants and the Jewish guys were happy. They didn't have to go. But so that the houseguest so on the way there, he says, we're gonna read the Gospel and I said Why he said, Well, they let lay people read the gospel Tommy and I'm a former altar boy, but Kind of read when I have to say, because you know, some of those words in the Bible aren't easy to pronounce. So not the priest gets up. We're all sitting up on the altar, and he says that the congregation reading from Today's gospel will be Mr Roger Moore, Mr Gregory Peck, Mr Frank Sinatra and Mr Tom Dreesen and the whole Church began the bus, whose time recently had followed by the fellow Gregory Peck. When Gregory Peck read the gospel people say Didn't he write this because he didn't think that my voice and and then in the end the asses it went real well. But in the end the priest as Catholics know, he'll say go. The mass is ended, But, he said, But before we go Perhaps some of you may have seen comedian Tom Vision on the Tonight Show talking about his Catholic school upbringing. Maybe he'll honor us with a joke, and Frank should get up telling much won't joke to save my soul. What is your favorite Sinatra story to tell ever like the one that you will just just That's that is theme moment on the best story that you could ever share. Well, a person. There's several personal stories. You know what? Just before he died, You know I had a moment with him that I'll never forget. But if it's something that I think the the audience that's listening to us right now, my, um, really appreciate we were coming out of the water for story one night on a way to do again. Well, the story in New York And we're rushing up the back door because the friend couldn't go out the front door. He'd be mob. So they had the limo's in the back and the security and we're rushing out and a woman had been hiding in the doorway. The doorman told me she'd been hiding there for five hours. And as we're going to the limo, she starts she jumped out the door and shot young. Mr. Sinatra, please. Mr said not to please please Mrs Sinatra. And he turned around and in the studio was holding a woman back. He turned and he walked back to her said What is it, she said, Mrs Sinatra. My husband is home sick. He's very, very ill. And if I could get an autograph from you would mean the world to him. And he said, sure, and he's sending the autograph. And she said, Oh, what beautiful cufflinks. They were over $1000 companies. I know where you got him. It's another story, but they were very expensive Cufflinks and she said, Oh, what beautiful cos he said, Thank you, and he finished the autograph, and he took the cufflinks. Often he gave them to her. Should give these to your husband. She said. No, no, I don't want them. I just was admiring them. He said. No. I want your husband and have these. We get in the limo, and I said, Thank that's beautiful. But why did you do that? He said, Tommy, if you possess something That you can't give away Then you don't possess it. It possesses you. Yeah, and I never forgot that he later told me, he said, ever startle Onassis at billions of dollars. He had his own mansions. He had private jets private yachts in the second he died. They transferred. Nothing you have is yours. That's right. If you're just using it, these are the kind of life lessons he taught me. Well.

Popcorn with Peter Travers
Jeff Daniels ('To Kill a Mockingbird') on playing Atticus Finch
"Hi, everybody. I'm Peter Travers. And this is popcorn where we tell you. What is popping in the culture? And my guest today. Jeff Daniels who has multiple wards and the way I looked at it, he's too modest to say he's just been nominated for Tony Ward as best actor for tequila Mockingbird on Broadway, which is totally deserved. I don't even have to blow smoke with you. You know, I actually loved this, you know. Well, it's very nice. I think too. So are you just completely in Newark to all this now? It's you have your Emmys. You've been nominated for Tony before for God of carnage. Does it? What impact does getting nominated for an award have, you know, it's, it's? It is an honor to be nominated because I've been there when I wasn't and, and this was a big season for drama big season for drama Broadway, there, a lot of them and, you know, Mockingbird didn't get in as best new play did that make you stomp around for a couple of minutes when they will stop arounds big phrase. But, but it it goes to whatever the reasons are it goes to show that it's not automatic. You can't just go on, then I'll get nominated, and it's still you wake up in the morning. Bill ness. You wanna be invited to the big party, you know, and, and it is an honor to be there. And I, I noticed that when I was nominated for God carnage. I was probably the first big award. I'd ever been Emmys came later and all that. But I was in that room in Radio City Music hall, and I looked around at all the great work. That was all in one place. And these are just the people were nominated. There's other work that didn't get in that was, and you just feel I'm just glad to get it took it to the party. You really now anything after that, you know, would be great, but it really is to get in. Take something to well, and there's something about the Broadway the theater community, and I'm speaking to you as theater guy. Because back in Michigan. You have your own gross theater. You know this is something that matters to you. And you have even before we start talking about to kill a Mockingbird. You've signed on for one year doing this show. Nobody does anymore all stars. Don't know. Working after's, who need the job or in Evan Hansen, their second year and all of that. So it is, you know, it used to be what was done. Jason Robards Brian Dennehy comes to mind. Fonda Henry Fonda did mister Roberts for over a year looked at up league Cobb death of a salesman. Pretty sure over a year those guys were good. But that was kind of expected, you know that's what you did. And you and it's a big long commitment, but it's not that long when it's Atticus Finch, it's not that long when it's to kill a Mockingbird is not that long when you see what this play, and this production does to an audience night after night after night after night to get to be Atticus Finch, on Broadway six months, wouldn't have been enough so was happy to sign for your, and I'm interested to see what happens to the performance. Over the course of your I'm six months in now, and it's changed. It's deepened and it's gotten smarter and more, it's just gotten better. And so I'm interested to see where it is at the end when that happens when you have a director whose, they always use the phrase in the theater, okay after rehearsal. We've now frozen this show. This is now the way we do it, but can any actors really do that, because you are discovering something he's actor you can do it. You call it the mule on the trail performance going down the Grand Canyon. The mule didn't even have to look, you know, the meal just goes down. And then I do it this way. And then I get to here, and I do it that way. And you think about where you're going to eat throughout the whole show. I've seen that. I have ten that's the trap, you can get into that. You can literally your mind, just floats away and your thing and you go and stay here. Stay here stay here because, you know it so Bart. Shared the director Mockingbird. Basically, he's saying this is going to move around. I expect you to move it around expect you to explore a little bit here and there. You gotta you gotta have enough sense of story and experience to know when you're, I think Ellen all called stuffing the dog when you're just suddenly we've added four minutes to the show and it's probably you. You got it. You gotta is what you're doing. Is this thing you found in month two? And does it lead to something else? And now as a better place or do we need to go back here to where you gotta kinda gotta stay in the lane. But you get to move around and Bart has given us permission to do that. But I think this cast is really don't agree job of serving story. So they're in while it moves and changes a little bit. It always seems to be pointed in the direction of serving story, not some individual. Whereas my light kind of thing, not in this cast, but what I noticed when I was at this show was that there are people that I had seen at the theater before because of this property because of what Harper Lee wrote, there are suddenly because we read it in school, you know, but it wasn't work and there's just something about it. And watching, what Aaron Sorkin has done to take what Harper Lee did. And to update it without updating it. But just. Making something that's going on in this play speak to us. Now you had a lot of controversy with that in the beginning. You know there were people doing you can't around with the, the state, who was there say is the lawyer for the estate one person had some issues with an early draft. I think he ended up with twenty two drafts. By the end of it. So pretty good chance some of that stuff would have gone away anyway. But, but in whatever it, we got it settled and the risks for us. I thought once the lawsuit went went away was three adults playing the kids. Are we going to get away with that? Are we going to overcome Gregory Peck? And the last third third act of this thing, basically. Deviates is this is a play based on the book. And now we're gonna put out of his through something that the move in either the movie nor the book put him through in by putting him through that, that I think, is where Aaron was able to relate it to today. Is there goodness in people that we can rely on will the better angel in all of us? Rise to the top in twenty nineteen that isn't necessarily true. And I think you're on was forcing Atticus to face that, that sometimes you can't just wait for them to do the right thing. No, there's not much and Atticus does some things in this play that aren't very Gregory Peck. Yeah, there's flaws in him. But it makes it just so more mature engaging because I'm seeing somebody with human flaws doing this. Yeah. And, and to be more than fair to pack who only won an Oscar for it was a different time, early sixties. And it was from the point of view of a young scout nine years old. Whatever she is in the book looking up her great father. So he really kind of stayed up on a pedestal throughout the book and pretty much for the movie and we weren't we were a small town. Lawyer gets paid in vegetables and trying to raise two kids and he handles land dispute service agreements for closures inning. And right will, and then the judge comes over to his house in his life changes. That's how we approached it. But do you feel competitive in any of these awards with other actors that are nominated in your category? In other words, you and Bryan Cranston. Now just cold staring. Each other because everybody was nominated wants to win. Everybody wants to make the speed. Everybody wants to take on that toll because it's called it anyone who's ever stepped on stage. Once that it's there's, it's so special it, it's I've never been nominated for an Oscar, but I started in the feeder, high school and community college, and my purples theater companies twenty years old and off Broadway. And coming back to Broadway. Keep returning to it. And now forty two years later, you get to Atticus Finch you get to do the role of a lifetime on Broadway in the theater, that's a lot to be proud of. So this sit there with, with Brian and Patty and, and all the other guys. Adam driver all them. Yeah. The kid Jeremy pope. But you know, it's a great group and you're part of a lot of great work that competitive thing, nobody scores the most points. These things we're doing five different things really, really well, go back to the day that you decided you were going to be Atticus Finch on Broadway. Was there any terror about that ultimate decision that had nothing to do with you committing for year because it's one of the great roles it's a great character? And despite the fact that we see flaws in him, there's virtue in him to me, as watching actors all my life and reviewing them the hardest thing to plays virtue. There's, you know how do you play good and make good interesting? And you get and maybe Atika struggle to remain. Good to remain take the high road and there's a bit of a struggle. This is a helps that yeah, but that's his aim because while he sitting on that porch this world in the south in nineteen thirty four in Alabama KKK's there. He's not initially he's kind of letting it happen. He's not going. He's not out there trying to change it. He's not carrying plan. No, he's I thought that was really interesting. Certainly where he starts. He knows that if he takes this case to defend Tom Robinson. And he sits in front of a jury of white Christian farmers men. He knows what he's going, this is no longer just executing will or foreclose and, and he's avoided that just raised his kids. I'm just raising my kids without a wife. I'm raising my kids, and he knows that will change thing unpleasant, things will be sent to us, and it's going to go beyond that you're gonna have the KKK come up and visit you on your porch and go, what are you doing? And I did a lot of research to kind of understand that kind of just keep your head down and don't get involved and stay out of trouble as family and just raise your kids and don't get involved. There was a lynching last Tuesday night, we missed you there. We got another one Friday, common and Atticus has to either say, no, I'm not or tied up that evening. Bob can't make. And there's a lot of there are a lot of people, especially in today's America that are don't wanna look go wanna see don't want to. I. I don't wanna know about Russia. I don't wanna know any, we'll do errands kind of speak into that, that American that decent honest, hardworking American lose just doing this, and it's not enough to just look the other way not now wasn't for Atticus and it isn't for us. Now there's denial and there's a combination and enabling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I think people sit there watching this like this, you know, this is somehow speaking to us right now involve you gonna get. Yeah. Yeah. What was what was your first encounter with this story? Did you read the book? I did you the first encounter really was? I probably had seen the movie as a kid. I don't remember we didn't read the book, we read, Lord of the flies and farewell to arms, which wasn't on the public school curriculum where I was at Aaron said, do you wanna play? Atticus finch. And I didn't blink. Absolutely. I think partly because the last five years ten years now. I've been taking chances are been. Challenging myself doing things that I wouldn't that other people think I can do, but I don't know how to do. So say yes.
