- What did John Wayne say to actor Andy Prine on the set of CHISUM (1970) that caused Prine to think he was going to get fired? Was he intimidated? Sure. But Prine, who had already worked with screen icons Henry Fonda, James Stewart and Dean Martin, among others, felt like no one, not even Movie God John Wayne could tell HIM what to do! Andy went from Broadway to the Hollywood to co-star in a new TV series with Earl Holliman, the modern western WIDE COUNTRY (1962-63). It was ROUTE 66 with rodeo cowboys! Andy went from Tux to Chaps with tips from featured actor, stuntman and rodeo consultant Slim Pickens! Go behind-the-scenes in another episode of A WORD ON WESTERNS as Andy shares stories about his days as a leading man and working actor in Hollywood. Filmed Oct 2013 at the Lone Pine Film Festival. Andy died of natural causes at the age of 86 in Paris, France, on Halloween 2022.

In my opinion, Earl Holerman didn't get the recognition, that he deserves, as a western actor.
Yes! I've written a part for him in my in-progress novel/screenplay. Hint: It's a reprise of his character "Cookie" in "Forbidden Planet."
Who was Earl Holerman?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist).
@@dukecraig2402 Earl holliman was a movie star in the 50s and 60s and in the seventies he was with Angie Dickinson in "police woman" for 4 years. He starred in many TV shows such as"hotel" etc. He was truly an excellent actor and on "hotel"he played James brolin's brother. I never knew he was this good of an actor and it really floored me and almost brought me to tears (something hardly ever anyone could make me do when watching a movie or show.) I discovered that he was truly a very underrated and unappreciated actor. Although he was great starring in "police woman"with Angie Dickinson, his talent was sadly never recognized or utilized. 😱🤔😓
@@CharlieChilders-wm9gb
As soon as I read Police Woman I realized who he was👍👍👍
@@dukecraig2402 thanks a lot for your nice comment. If you ever get a chance to see the series "hotel" (I recently purchased the box set) and you may be able to see some shows on UA-cam I'm not sure, but like I said his acting on that show was so superb and flawless, I have watched it several times just to see his powerful and heart moving acting. I've never been a big fan of his until now. I plan to check out more of his acting in movies etc to see how this great actor was so neglected. He truly should have been nominated and awarded the Emmy nomination for this performance. 🤔😟👍
I read an article from the NY Times, maybe it was an Opinion piece, anyway the Writer was making a point of John Wayne's political views, etc... . He then stated that JW was not a very good Actor anyway. I hear from his contemporaries that they considered him a fine Actor. It seems that in order to make a political point today that it is imperative to diminish the targeted person's talent and work. I was always taught in College that that is considered an intellectually lazy way to try and win a point, disenginuous.
the NY times is worthless. less than that.
@@justthink5854 Yup, I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of a click or a single thin dime.
John Wayne was an excellent actor. His characters always "listen" to what the other characters are saying; it's a very subtle but effective technique which one will notice if one watches closely. Most actors don't know how to do that.
@@davidsigalow7349 he was incredibly graceful for such a big man.
Even fish are disappointed when wrapped in the NYT
Andrew Prine, a excellent character actor and provided your audience with a charming interview!
Yeah. Ironically, character actors really make the movie. They give it added depth. Some movies more than others.
"we don't count ribs".. lol.. That's a true statement.. Getting my Daddy to a doctor or worse an xray machine was near impossible. My Mother made him stop breaking young horses when he was 72 years old and got bucked off 5 miles from the house. Broken ribs... no doctor.. When he was 75, he was standing on a 55 gallon barrel trying to hang something in the hay barn, the barrel tipped, and he fell hard on the edge of the barrel,...broken ribs.. No doctor. Lots of pain...He was never the same after that. In his 80's they did an Xray checking on the size of his heart, they told him he had broken his back at least three times, and most of his ribs had been broken. He remembered all three back breaking incidents, but ribs just the last two incidents... No telling how many were broken when he was breaking horses and rodeoing in his youth and into his 50's. ...Great interview.. I enjoyed Him and Earl very much.
OUCH! Thanks, Crow. Stay safe.
I met Andrew Prine in 1995. I talked to him about seeing him in The Fugitive. He was a real nice guy.
The last words spoken, the last statement made by Mr Prine in this video were solid gold truth. Wise man indeed.
Absolutely loved this program. Andrew is so underrated. Could listen to him for hours.
I did too BUT it isn't "A Word on Westerns" without Mr Word IN IT. A voice in the background isn't enough. His banter and trivia interjections is half the show. (Half is saying a lot considering the caliber of the stars he interviews.) ;
@@bailey9r
Program was taped 6 years ago at a film festival. Rob Word is doing an amazing job despite the crazy pandemic.
Andrew Prine was an excellent character actor. I remember a great episode of Gunsmoke where he played a young cowboy who found stealing and murder an easy way to get by. It was one of the early one hour episodes.
It's 1963's "Easy Come," jim. Also directed by Andrew McLaglen! FANTASTIC EPISODE!!!
What do you mean was? He is still with us your pretense is wrong.
I never imagined that Andrew Prine was such a down to earth person. This interview reveals how much he benefitted from his experience working with the greats, grew, and matured as a person. A much different picture of a Hollywood career than we often get. After hearing Andy's reminiscence about Slim Pickens it suggests to me that Slim probably had a bit to do with the development of the character of Major Kong and may have suggested that iconic scene where he rides an H-bomb out of the bomb bay of a B-52 in _Dr. Strangelove_ .
Glenda Jackson said : Acting is the easiest thing in the world to do poorly.
Conversely it must be one of the most difficult things to do well.
Great to see a person who can do it well so graciously paying tribute to his fellow actors.
And humble enough to admit his goofs. ;
Very talented actor & underrated.
What a great interview with Andy Prine 👏
Thanks, Lyle
Andrew prine was a underrated actor his whole life but a lot of people don't know how good he Really was, he was good in gunsmoke and was good in every role he had in my book he was #1 God bless you Andy.
When he did the 2 roles in lancer his interaction with james Stacy character was terrific. They were so believable together n his expressions were credible. Andrew has always been an actor I enjoyed watching. So was james Stacy. I'd love to hear more stories about them both. N since andrews wife Brenda scott also was on lancer there has to b more stories lol
I agree 100%.
I thought Hollywood blackballed him .
Because.. the police thought he might have murdered his girlfriend (an actress) but couldn't prove it . She was in westerns also .
Big John "owned" the big screen. Another great interview!
Thanks, JD.
@@AWordonWesterns You're welcome Rob. Thanks for all you do. I truly enjoy the program. And....everyone does call me JD.
ITS GREAT THAT WE CAN STILL HEAR THOSE DETAILS ABOUT SOME OF THE GREATEST ACTORS,FROM ANOTHER GREAT ACTOR IN PERSON ,I REALLY MISS THOSE WESTERNS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A BIG ENOUGH AUDIENCE FOR WESTERNS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS OR MORE.
Wish there was, Tim. Thanks.
Great interview with Andrew Prine. Love his stories of John Wayne, Slim Pickens, Dean Martin and Earl Holliman. My favorite role for Andy was Brigadier General Richard B. Garnett in Gettysburg.
Just a little story from my late father. He was in the Air Force as an instructor pilot at Kelly AFB San Antonio Texas. He was on a training mission when they noticed a bunch of people down below engaged in a battle of some sort. They got back to the base and they were notified to stay out of that air space because their were no jets or contrails during the Battle of the Alamo. One night it was announced The Duke was going to be at the officer's club. My mother and father went and met John Wayne. My dad said he was bigger than life and everything he was in the movies. Just like Andrew said. My father noted his great sense of humor. They did have one common love and that was for Laurel and Hardy. Wayne had known both and was a very good friend of Babe Hardy. Just a very cool story.
Because of Big Jake my brothers and myself never called our father 'daddy.'
Thanks for the memories, CJ. Oliver Hardy played Duke's sidekick in THE FIGHTING KENTUCKIAN!! He was pretty good in it, too.
@@AWordonWesterns And The Duke played Stan in the scene where they played the violins together. Great story about that. Stan and Ollie promised never to work without each other after Zenobia. Stan was ill from complications from diabetes. John Wayne asked Babe if he wanted to be in his movie. Hardy said he couldn't without Stan. Duke said, "Just ask him." Babe asked Stan to which Stan replied, "It's the Duke. You can't say no to the Duke."
I have seen Andrew Prine in so many movies it's hard to imagine him as a Broadway performer. I like the respect he has for Slim Picking and John Wayne. I never have bought in to those who said he wasn't a great actor and I always felt those saying so were either jealous or on a different side of his political views. Dean Martin had quite a sense of humor and I am sure there's a lot of others he didn't have time to mention. Great interview.
Thanks, Wayne.
@@AWordonWesterns Rob Word, you are the man! Certainly appreciate your videos. Brings lots of pleasant memories of when life was tough and the movies and TV were that little escape from by harsh reality that kept life bearable.
Another fine guest with great stories to share about some of my favorites: Dean Martin, Duke, and the multi-talented Slim Pickens!
Glad you enjoyed it
C'mon. Dean Martin never really fit the western genre. He did do a good job as a drunken Sheriff being abused in a bar, though.
@@malcolmkirk3343 I disagree. Dean Martin loved westerns. RIO Bravo was one of the best movie role of his career.
@@Rangersly He loved 'em. But I don't think he ever came off as a real Westerner in those movies.
Great show. We lived, ate, and breath Westerns when I was a kid, for better or worse 😊. Even the concrete and breeze block urban sprawl where I lived was known locally as the Wild West 😊. You just couldn't escape the influence of Westerns on every kind of human interaction.
Very cool, John!
Another brilliant interview. Andrew Prine was a really good actor and his views on how things are today is a refreshing alternative to what seems to be the consensus.
Great interview! Love his comments about John Wayne and Dean Martin!
What an engaging interview! Just love his self-deprecating humor and reflecting on his experiences with western greats! He truly is a wonderful actor, in many genres! 👏💖
Hated Christopher George for killing Andrew Prine!
Hi Rob. I actually just found you here not too many weeks back. My computer access is limited. I'm 68 and grew up with all the cowboy stars being at the center of my universe. I grew up wanting nothing more than to be like Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger. When I was 4 I was asked by an uncle what I wanted to grow up to be. I told him I wanted to fight bad guys and help people. When I did grow up I became a paramedic, a state law enforcement officer, and a bodyguard. These people had an obvious and notable effect on my life. I'm always glad to find quality channels like yours that have an obvious love of the westerns. Thanks for your great work!!
What a fine man and we know a dedicated and outstanding character actor. His gratefulness and humility is so refreshing isn’t it? Loved him in Chisum!
Wow the scene with Dean Martin and Peter Graves you could see the acting similarities between Peter Graves and his brother James Arness.
Good discovery, man!
@@AWordonWesterns LOL I see what you did there...
Wonderful gentleman and actor.
Nice interview. So very happy to see and hear about Earl Holliman ♡. Best of all Mr Prime was very forthcoming about his having an ego. Good for him.
So many of the old movies have been shortened from the originals. Hatari, McLintock, and many more. Sure would be great to have to original versions.
My father was on a flight with jw in the late 60's wayne asked him what his favorite movie was. My dad told him it would have to be the searchers! Wayne agreed with him. Dad said he was glad he didn't ask him what he thought of the Alamo.....he did not like that film.
Andrew was excellent in "Devil's Brigade". Never forget he and Richard Jaeckel sprinting into the camp. Earl Holliman in the first Twilight Zone "Where Is Everybody". Slim Pickens in "Dr. Strangelove" and "Flim Flan Man". All excellent character actors.
Dont forget Blazing Saddles!
Andy could play a creep better than anyone. His b-horror classics were sick and yet entertaining.
Agreed ... I wonder if Jack Nicholson took notes!
Andy and Dean Martin hung over, I'd love to have seen that!!! Good job As Always Rob
I'm 55 and it takes me back to my childhood with my folks watching these movies. It's so cool to see this behind the scenes stuff.
Thanks, Scott.
@@AWordonWesterns 🙏
I always felt that if Andrew Prine was in a movie, it was going to be a good one. Love the humbling story about his dismount from the saddle. Enjoyed the interview.
Oh Rob, you cut this conversation off too soon! A. Prine was so interesting. I hope you show more of him later. You always ask the best questions to bring out memories of the old westerns that I love. Keep’em coming! I look forward to them.
Really good actor. Loved him in Chisum, Grizzly and the Original Wonder Woman pilot with Cathy Lee Crosby. He was very good playing a villain as well.
I would watch Andy in ANYTHING because he is that good, so thanks to all for this delightful feature - a wonderful compilation of anecdotes about Westerns back in the day.
Thanks, Marty.
When I was a child I fell in love with Andrew Prine. I loved him even when he played a villain because he was so good. I was able to meet him a few years ago. Very down to earth,super friendly, easy to talk to and hilarious. So enjoyed this interview.
Thanks, Oldgirl. He's a hoot!
Great interview with an honest man tempered by his years!
It’s great to see a guy from the good old days like Andrew Prine. We knew the characters he played as an actor and he worked a lot. But you have let us get to know a little about who Andrew Prine really is. A real good Guy.
Thanks Rob for taking us back to the best years we remember.
Thanks, Dave.
Thanks Robb great interview. It's good to see Andrew Prine again
Glad you enjoyed it, Al.
Mr. Holliman was a natural in a western. Slim Pickens was one the best character actors ever.
Agreed, larry. Thanks.
I really like this interview. What a great perspective from an actor I really knew nothing about. I always liked his acting and the rolls he took on. Now I hear his thoughts and see how this man feels honestly about movies and actors and everyday people. I think this interview is 1 of the best so far. Thank you.
Thanks, Sam
@@AWordonWesterns your welcome. Thank you.
Heck! I love westerns. And love the facts and little tidbits of how many of the later known actors were really like. Today's actors I don't think can do a western with that kind of class.
Wow! I was in a Girl Scout group that mapped the "New" property in the 60's. Here in San Diego County, were a lot of the breaking of the horses was filmed. This was up by Julian Ca., and the movie company left a heard of cattle there. We would have some great races with the now wild cattle for a few years there. We loved watching this movie, and seeing the landmarks that we new on the new property. Good movie.
Thanks, Janet.
keep em comin rob , god bless your work .
Fun interview with Andrew, my wife and I were their hosts at a Williamsburg Film Festival a few years back and he and his wife Heather couldn't have been nicer. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Larry. I remember it well! Hope we can all do it again!!
Wonderful to see, to hear from the delightful Andrew Prine, a beautiful day out "on location". ( If you can, share when and where.) Another great interview!
We were in Lone Pine, CA, during the Film Festival about 6 years ago.
I've seen Mr. Prine as an excellent villain!
Thanks for posting.
I remember Andrew Prine in that western series with Earl Holliman (Wide Country). Even as a 7th grader, I liked him enough to make sure I looked to the credits to see what his name was. I never forgot his name, and watched everything he did after that.
Thanks, Dave.
Pleasantly Surprising ...how just about ALL these actors are so likeable.. and regular folks !....Not at all what might be expected.
Never ever thought about acting, when I was young...but it seem like it was a great and rewarding experience for many many supporting actors..👍
I love these interviews! I’ll have to go to the beginning of these interviews to find the one with Slim Pickens. Thanks for sharing these!
Thanks, Kevin. The interview is with Slim's daughter, Darryl Anne. Unfortunately, Slim died in 1983 at the age of 64, 30 years before I began doing these interviews at the Autry, Sept 2013.
@@AWordonWesterns Thanks! I’m going to check it out tonight...
What a wonderful, honest interview .......thanks Rob
I remember Prine in A Miracle Worker. The scene where he meets Annie at the station was filmed at a tourist railway near me.
Like Dean's western 5 Card Stud. He sings the theme & it has Roddy McDowell in it!
This interview was great! Andrew is such an interesting storyteller & a wonderful actor.
You know I remember you when I was young! Now you show your face. I would never recognize you anymore ! Always glad to see actors are still alive and around! God Bless you take care!
Very good interview Rob. Andrew Prine. Always liked this fellow in movies and on TV.
loved the stories about slim pickens. always liked him. made a terrific bad guy too
Perhaps Mr. Pine's best character, movie and with his best lines is 'Bandolero'.
Forgot about him in that love that movie
A fine actor from a great generation
My best remembrance is from the movie “Grizzly” with Christopher George, Andy Prine and Richard Jaeckel also very fine actors. Andy was the chopper pilot that lost the battle in his helicopter to the bear
Thanks for these great interviews I enjoy them so much.
Also to say I would count back three to five movies and almost be sure Richard Jaeckel would most likely appear.
Thanks very much, James.
These are some fascinating stories, some I never could imagine! But I enjoy hearing them all!
Thanks, Walter. Glad you like them!
Great interview Rob. Andy Prine was one of the Good Guys!!
What a jewel of interview! What a joy watching it! Thx!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was a wonderful episode. I love hearing about the first hand experiences.
Thanks, JJ
I would love to see a Word on Westerns about my favorite western: THE LAST OF THE DOGMEN.
Me, too, Lee. I've asked Tom B to join me. He's always working but I hope we can make it happen when we're able to resume live productions.
Have tryed to buy a copy of it. Found on Amazon once, but they wanted $80.00 for it. Was not prepared to pay that much. Now wish I had.
Great stories from Andy, who when I was a kid was in a lot of television. A remarkable actor with many memorable performances, who always came off very real, earnest and sincere in his acting.
Without looking it up, one in particular that's stuck with me all these years was his portrayal of the Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of the Austrian Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, the incident that created a domino among nations that sparked the start of World War I.
It's also always gratifying to hear stories from actors who worked with John Wayne, every one it seems coming away with a positive take on him regardless of background or politics. So nice to know that at least one of ones childhood heroes, to some degree lived up to your image of them.
Really liked and thoroughly agree with Andy's thoughts and reflections on the "Cowboy Ideal" and growing up with the aspiration of living up to it. Why I think westerns were a positive influence on most of us who grew up enjoying them, and also that there just isn't enough of that sort of positive influence among impressionable youth going on today.
it was always the central banks. the duke was just an excuse.
@@justthink5854 And the black helicopters. Which I totally believe in.
In a metaphorical sense.
This is a wonderful interview, Rob. Andrew Prine gives us a great deal of his insight into westerns, from the inside. I like the “on site” setting he speaks from. Andrew also points out the immortality of youth, and the reality of later life; BTDT with my military career. I liked hearing about John Wayne, but his descriptions of Slim Pickins and especially Earl Holliman are very revealing. Thank you, Rob. Now you take care, amigo.
Thanks, Mamba. This was shot in Lone Pine, California,...before the pandemic.
@@AWordonWesterns I really like the way this one turned out, Rob. I did not proof too well and had to blue pencil in “immortality”.🙄
What a great storyteller. Love hearing about the old Westerns. Mr Prine played some wonderful roles on Gunsmoke . I wonder how he enjoyed working with Jim Arness and that cast? Another great show Rob. Thanks.
As a USMC veteran myself I equate Dukes position on films and his relationship between he and any particular director ,, John Wayne as the Sgt. Major and the director being a new second lieutenant . The director ( Lt. ) being the one in charge but the Sgt Major ( Duke ) having the experience. Any Marine Lt. worth his salt rarely pulls rank on his Sgt Major. And gives him the utmost respect and takes his advice very seriously.
Always love hearing stories about The Duke! Mr Prine was very entertaining and had a unique perspective. Really enjoyed this episode!
Glad you enjoyed it!
~Rob,,, I was a Member & Staff @ Film Industry Workshops @ CBS Studio Ctr.(Republic Studios) for 5 yrs late 70s. Twice each month a "Guest Director" would come & direct a scene on an unused Set, in Simulated Reality of an actual Production(Single Camera). "Edit" the scene on video playback by only showing "The Printed Takes" akin to watching "Dailys",,, THEN Q & A. Andrew Prine guested us once & was the most Unpretentious & Humble of "Actors". XLNT Storyteller, sharing a couple experiences that he told here(Ex:Falling off horse). Very funny. He went into the late hours with us, just sharing his experiences & extolling his advice to all of us Wannabes.
Thanks again so much Rob for these XLNT interviews & sharing your Cinematic Expertise with all of us.
Sincerely.
Thanks very much, Rick.
Love to hear how all these great actors worked together and stories of how they became friends. The greatest actors of all time came from the 50’s,60’s, and 70’s
I just don't see a negative in these types of movies! Actors portraying an ideal!
Ohh, I know some people say it's not real. They say it's created by Hollywood. Well if it's been created, it's real!!! It's right up there on the screen, for any one to see!!!! Millions of people try to live up to it!!! And our country and the people are better for it!!! I just don't see a negative... God bless! And keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, Scott
Haven't seen Andrew Prine again in a LONG time! Just in the odd Virginian episode of the series I have on DVD, where he mostly played baddies. But always somehow a very memorable guy. Great to see he too is still around!
A great way to start a sunday. Andrew prine is one of my favorite actors i enjoyed him in his non-western simon king of the witches the scene where he goes through the mirror is awesome. Great show today.
Happy happy birthday to the great Andrew Prine!! He was a joy to work with and I hope to be able to do it again! Amazing filmography and an amazing talent!! Hope you are doing well Andrew! Thanks to Rob Word for posting this great if way too short interview!
Thanks, Jeff.
Another great episode, Rob! Andrew Prine used to be a frequent guest star on shows I watched as a kid. He portrayed Dr. Richard Kimble's brother on "The Fugitive." I think that was only in the first season, but I wish he'd appeared in the same role in following years. I believe he was also in "Gettysburg." Thanks for showing this interesting interview.
Thanks, Steve. And...Jacqueline Scott was Richard Kimble's sister. Jackie, who died last year, and Andy were good friends.
If I recall correctly, she continued in the same role throughout the series. I was glad to see her on your program, and I was not aware that she and Andrew were good friends. Thanks for sharing that.
He played General Richard Ewell in Gettysburg.
This is so awesome I love this channel and the way the stories are told by the old good time actors and actresses
Thanks, CH.
Another fun interview filled with a life time of adventures. I don't really know how you shot this, but I'm absolutely enthralled with the beautiful background location where Mr. Prine was sitting. And, just as a side note, I never rode in any rodeos, or did scenes in movies falling off horses at every turn, but my knees (and most of the rest of my joints) still complain most days. Lol Thanks, Rob, for sharing this bit of fun with us.
Thanks, Sue. You're right the location is spectacular. We shot this at a Lone Pine Film Festival about 6 years ago.
loved this progam and andrew is so underrated could listen to him for hours
Thanks, Joe. Today is Andy's birthday.
@@AWordonWesterns happy birthday him loved any
@@AWordonWesterns happy birthday to andrew
Keep these legendary interviews coming, Rob. They're the best behind the scenes events ever! 👍👍👏
Another classic "A Word on Westerns" episode with great film clips, great background stories and a fantastic guest with Andrew Prine.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Jeff.
I recognized him from the roles he played in Alfred Hitchcock presents and One Step Beyond
Saw him in Vegas at a SASS Convention maybe 20 years ago. Nice guy and a damned good actor.
Wonderful interview. Andrew Prine is a highly underrated actor. Glad he got some of his due in this AWOW episode. Rob, you asked what we would like to see. I would like to see a discussion of these three highly underrated 1950s TV Western series: John Payne's The Restless Gun, Jon Hart & Lon Chaney's Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans, and Brian Keith's The Westerner. Each one was unique in its storytelling and characterizations. They are largely forgotten or overlooked, yet they resonate after viewing, even today.
Thanks, Arline. I'll do my best to find and book folks who worked those shows.
@@AWordonWesterns Many thanks, Rob!
Another great character actor who has planty of interesting tales to tell.
We were All young once and soldiers i Was in the air force 50 years ago 18 years old and could do anything now i have metal in My body My son is 44 years old say dad you Are terminator you have so much metal in yoy so you Are more metal thanks lord Rob Word of Word on Westerns great video thanks
Thanks, Tom.
Rob, your videos of interviews with all the old west actors & actresses covering so much of my youth and before is exactly what I want to see!
Every single one of your interviews have been so interesting and bring so many memories back, plus inform me of so many details that I could possibly have had no idea about has been fantastic for me!
I can't think of anything that could possibly be changed for the better!
I've loved every video you've put on UA-cam so far!
I can't even imagine changing a thing!!! Great job and thanks for so many enlightening and entertaining hours of video Rob!!!
Thanks, Don. I know Valentine's Day is over but your comments have kept it going for me!
I loved Andrew Prine in “Gettysburg.”
I look forward to Every episode. So interesting hearing the behind the scene memories.
I binged watched "The Virginian" a year or so ago. Andrew Prine appeared and played so many different characters in so many episodes I think he could have been labelled a regular.
Very good episode. Love these interviews every week. Can't wait to see what's coming each week. Thanks from all of us old western fans.
Glad you like them, Wayne. Thanks.
I just want to thank you for featuring John Prine. I've been wondering about one of my favorite actors. I always looked forward to seeing him guest star in any Western series. I became an even bigger fan after he showed up I PlayGirl in the 70's. :-). You are the best because you understand your fellow "oater" fans and human beings. This was brilliant.
That's "in" PlayGirl. Oh, yes, it was. (It was delightful to see Andrew Prine so well. He's aged beautifully.)
I'm obviously not aging so well, at least today; that is, of course, ANDREW Prine. Deepest apologies Andrew. Still thinking about that photo shoot.
Great interview rob..andrew is a.real fun guy with some great stories..wish it was longer
Me, too, Blue.
Great job on these and keep em comming . These are so Educational and entertaining . Good to know stuff for the next generation of Actors , Film Students and the Public .Also a great History lesson . We're grateful to you for presenting these !
Thanks, Charles. Over 400 AWOW episodes are now available. More rare goodies next week!
He's worked with thousands of actors on hundreds of sets over his career, and the one that stands out for him and that he remembers every minute of his time with is John Wayne. That's probably the best testimonial to another actor that's possible.
Rob, thank you for a great interview with Andy Prine. I’ve never seen him interviewed and like many the first movie I saw him in was Chisum. Finally after about 50 years the answer to that weird swish of the horses tail has been answered. Speaking of Chisum, was that Bill Conrad’s voice in the voice over ? Got into an argument about that just last week. I said Bills voice. Terrific Mate from Down Under
You guessed correctly, Bob. That was William Conrad doing the narration!! Kudos, mate.
Awesome interview. The Chivalrous Westerns 🇺🇸🤠
sometimes your show brings a tear to my eyes, thinking back to the 50s and 60s, those were the best times in this country, there wont be anymore Cisco kid and Pancho ! or Roy and Dale , we were deer hunters, and my Dad , could shoot as quick as Lucas, and hit a running buck. good day my Friends !
Wonderful "interview" of Andrew Prine, Rob. As always, thank you very much!
