Why so much hate in these comments? Jerry is doing a great service to those of us who love film. Whether his accent or minor discrepancies in info, they are immaterial. I very much appreciate what you are doing, Jerry. Thank you.
I loved Harry Dean Stanton. Thanks for including him. He was GREAT in Alien and Red Dawn. I’ll always remember him yelling “Avenge me!!” to his sons. To me he was a leading man whenever he spoke.
@@dearrystone5773 wow, born in KY, like John Prine, who we lost last year. You really know you’re old when all your favorites start dying. I just moved to Ky from TX. He looked like a guy born in TX. I had never noticed before, but he REALLY favors Doug Kershaw, whose music I love, maybe a little Cajun crept in. I will miss seeing him in new movies also. ❤️
I always liked John Anderson. I had the pleasure of meeting him around 1980, walking down Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, I never knew he lived in the neighborhood, very cool. He couldn't have been nicer, a real gentleman. He seemed stoked that a kid my age recognized him, I was about twenty at the time. I named off a few of my favorite roles he played and he just smiled and shook my hand. It was just a natural, accidental encounter during a time when no one had a camera in their pocket for a selfie. I didn't even ask him for his autograph, just wanted to let him know that he'd been a favorite actor in my house for many years, my mom loved him.
Anderson was terrific on Star Trek Next Generation as the immortal omnipotent man who murdered a whole race of people when a bunch of them killed his wife.
I met John Anderson on set of The Rockford Files in September 1976. He was filming an episode called "Coulter City Wildcat." He and James Garner were really nice people, unpretentious and down to earth. Can't say that about very many people in that business.
Jerry, thank you for another wonderful documentary, made in that unique, special way that only YOU can do. I'm 66 years old this year (2022). I've discovered over the years, that one of the special pleasures I derive from watching old TV shows and movies, is seeing the wonderful parade of incredible character actors that graced TV and Movies from those early years! These unique actors may not have been the stars, but WOW did their presence make a particular episode jump out of the screen at you! I appreciate these unique actors so much more as the years pass by. Thank you for giving them the recognition they all deserve. Seeing, remembering and appreciating these unique character actors, makes such videos absolute gems! Please don't ever hesitate to do a documentary on character actors because such videos truly strike a chord, releasing a flood of wonderful memories. Thank you.
These "character" actors were truly great. They couldn't make a movie without them but yet you could make a movie with just them and no stars. lol Great vid, Lee
Harry Dean, Richard Farnsworth and Wilford Brimley . . = 3 Gotta Watch-em All. Really GReat Actors that will Never Be Cloned. Richard n Wilford were Long Time Very GOOD Friends. I don't think a year goes by now that I don't watch your Richard Farnsworth video. Another GReat One here Gerry ~ " Thank You Again " . . Still from jus 2 hairs north of the border = Ontario, Canada.
Thank you Mr Skinner for telling us about those artists; yes I have not remembered their names as you knew we do not know them. Good film . Cheers from Toronto!
This was a wonderful tribute and retrospective. Thanks once again, Jerry! I will say that Harry Dean Stanton was the one actor known well, for their name and performances. Paris, Texas.
I've seen John Anderson and Richard Jaeckel on both Perry Mason and Emergency, and I really liked The Dirty Dozen. All great actors and a great actress. About Harry Dean Stanton, my favorite role of Harry's was in the 1979 film Alien.
"How would you like to be remembered" -- "Doesn't matter"! This was all extremely interesting, Jerry -- thank you, and please don't ever lose that natural Southern (?) accent.
Mr Skinner this is my second time watching this video. Your narrative is so informative. I've enjoyed all of your videos. Thank you again Mr Skinner 🙏 ❤ 💙
Jerry, thank you so much for your channel. You are doing a great service for us getting up there in age. I am trying to watch every piece you created. Keep me busy by not stopping to make them. Sam❤😅😅
@@JerrySkinner1943 Hope your health is doing well and are very healthy. We need you to keep making your great videos. When do you think you'll be able to post another video?
I loved Robert Wilke every time I saw him. Great bad guy but he won me over in real life. I was a big fan of Richard Long and it was Wilke who got Long to the hospital when he had a heart attack at age 33. Saved his life.
Thanks Jerry. A journey to my childhood. I remember, practically all these actors, not by name, but the characters they played. Many of the films I saw when originally released.
I remember Harry Dean Stanton mostly from the movie "Alien". Gettin' up there in subs Jerry. I been with you for two years now, always give you a like. You're good at this stuff.
I didn't know most of these except for the last one (thanks to the Alien movie). Great deep dive into these people Jerry. You make those times come alive again, just like the good old days.
I love the line Katy Jurando delivers in a scene opposite a young Lloyd Bridges in the movie HIGH NOON. In that scene, Bridges's character comes on strongly to Katy's character. She rebuffs him and says plainly (regarding Gary Cooper's character), "You're a boy. He's a man!" Love it!
What a lovely walk down memory lane. As always, many thanks, Jerry. All of these wonderful actors, are as recognizable to those of us who watched them in their heyday, as today's pop stars are to the youngins. Do we really even have such character actors anymore? They are sorely missed.
Great as always Mr. Skinner. I love this episodes on character actors (Your second I believe) it so nostalgic when I recognize the face and then you show what productions they appeared in and I smack my forehead with an Oh yeah!, that's where I saw that actor! For some reason, John Anderson is the one actor I never forget, his name aside, I recall him in so many episodes of the Riflemen and even an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation towards the end of his life. Please keep your videos coming! Movie come and go so fast these day, I'll take the good old days.Those were good movies, with great actors and great supporting actors.
Thanks Jerry. I hope you can do this topic about character actors of the '30s/'40s. Without these folks the movies wouldn't be as good or the main actors made to appear as big as they do.
Thank you for this entertaining and interesting docomentary. One character actor I would like to see more about is James Griffith. He appeared in many TV series as well as western and thriller movies from 1948 onwards. Others are Ted De Corsia, Timothy Carey, Leo Gordon and Edward Platt
Very interesting video Jerry. Out of all of them I have probably seen Harry Dean Stanton the most in movies and TV shows.I remember him from Cool Hand Luke and Two Lane Blacktop and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. He also played the bank robber Homer Van Meter in 1973's Dillinger with Warren Oates who was also in 1971's Two Lane Blacktop. He was also Dective Junkins in 1983's Chistine.
I remember all these actors, stars all to me. These grand character actors are like moving scenery in films. They can make movies with their screen presence. A facial pose, eye squint, frown, scant smile of acknowledgment or surprise. All in their repertoire persona. Remarkable folk who have my respect. I recall reading Strother Martin, another film star said, "I made a very good living playing prairie scum." Nuff said.
Hey Jerry, you forgot ( or perhaps you weren't aware of ) Harry Dean Stanton's very last film made just before his death, where he played the leading role, in the film entitled: "Lucky". ( I Believe Harry wrote the story and possibly directed the film, but someone please correct me, if I'm wrong. ) While this film was no "block buster", it quickly became a cult classic with Harry Dean Stanton fans everywhere. He played the role of an aged man who knew he was living his last days, in a sleepy little modern day town out west. His character was a well liked elderly man by everyone in this tiny town, especially in the local tavern. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves Harry. RIP Harry Dean Stanton.
At the end there is even a cameo appearance by President Roosevelt. Good movie. If anyone is interested it's here on UA-cam, free with ads. I watched it because of your comment. Good watch, very touching.
Harry was born & raised about 30 miles south of where I sit typing. Either his half sister or his niece was murdered here in Lexington, Kentucky in the 1960s. Her murder remains unsolved.
Thank you Jerry for recognizing these unsung hero’s from yesterday. I remember all of them. Awesome documentary, and totally informative. Thanks and keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase, Winter Springs, Florida.🤠
This was so interesting. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. Somebody has to be the character actors. Right? Not much of a movie or T.V. show without them.
With all the thousands of episodes of Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Maverick, the Rifleman I've watched, I've seen all these character actors/actresses many times. Good stuff.
Please please continue this series. I’ve always been interested in character actors. I’d love to know if they had side careers for when they were between movies
I’m glad you made this but Richard Jaeckel was fairly well known. You should make one on supporting actors in TV like Aimzee Strickland, Dabs Greer and James Gregory.
Interesting presentation, Jerry. There used to be such a wealth of great character actors that could spice up any film or tv show. In the past 40 years I can't recall a convincing character actor.
Thanks Jerry for a great documentary with a list of great actors that I couldn't remember the names of except for Harry. Take care and all the best. Stevie
The Odyssey of Flight 33 is my favorite Twilight Zone episode thanks to John Anderson's fine acting. It's hard to believe that he's not the real thing. He also played in In Broad Daylight, the story of Ken Rex McElroy, which for now is on UA-cam.
From watching TV westerns of the 1950s and 1960s I have learned a lot about the character actors who appeared in them. A lot of them were the go to actors in both film and TV. There's plenty that you can do documentaries on.
lt's good to hear you voice again ans thanks for the fine video....Ans all of your research that goes into making your video...Hope you are doing well....Shoe🇺🇸
Kudos and plaudits to you on showcasing the cream of character performers--the actors who are most ubiquitous (sp) on television and in movies. These are the actors I truly revere. Keep up the good work, and may God go with you.
John Anderson, Richard Jaeckal, Harry Dean Stanton I knew pretty well, but learned some new things. Bouchey I have heard and seen a lot. But never knew he announced things before. He had such a unique voice. Thank u so much for this. Please do more!!!! Luv ❤️ this!
Mr. Skinner I just love the music Your voice and the stories I really Love You it's like I know You I really wish I could meet You One Day Thank You for All This Please keep them Coming😘
Thanks for the great video. Remember most of these characters. Willis Bouchey played a judge on Perry Mason and the Andy Griffith show. Plus many others
It is amazing how you've grown so much Mr. Skinner. Here's another entertaining video and you could make a few more just like it of character actors. I remember watching your biography video on Alvin York and Audie Murphy's sad story. Your Tombstone video had some really good work like showing Josephine's harlot license signed by Wyatt Earp. Bet that took some digging. That always remained in my mind considering they stayed together for the rest of their lives.
Great video Jerry There were also many heavies below the guy's A few of them Harry Lauter Rayford Barnes Myron Healey James Westerfield RThere are so many One tier below them was a group that never said a word uncredited but some were in 300 400 movies Keep it going Jerry
Wow!!! I hope you do more videos character actors like this including a character actor that appeared in scores of movies and TV shows named Percy Helton.
Words of wisdom regarding the great talent and importance of movie character actors. I was also thinking about the great television character actors that we see very often on earlier television shows. They too are the unsung heroes of the entertainment industry.
A superb documentary of just a few of the many outstanding character actors whose performances we’ve enjoyed. To see Harry Dean Stanton in his final screen appearance, watch “Lucky”. In the film Stanton’s character lives alone in a small western town. works crossword puzzles, and calls a friend to discuss the puzzle. It’s a beautifully crafted film and in it we hear Harry Dean Stanton sing a poignant song in Spanish to a small group attending a young boy’s birthday party. The song is a familiar one to the listeners who eventually all join in.
Why so much hate in these comments? Jerry is doing a great service to those of us who love film. Whether his accent or minor discrepancies in info, they are immaterial. I very much appreciate what you are doing, Jerry. Thank you.
You are right. My comment about "better content" -or whatever was unnecessary. He'll get around to the others I'm sure.
DITTO i think what Jerry does is outstanding
I agree 100%!!!!!!
If was so easy then everybody would be doing it👏🙌👍
I haven't read anything bad about Jerry.
I loved Harry Dean Stanton. Thanks for including him. He was GREAT in Alien and Red Dawn. I’ll always remember him yelling “Avenge me!!” to his sons. To me he was a leading man whenever he spoke.
Lol, he was excellent as "Howard" in Down Periscope
Loved Harry Dean n he was born in my sm home town❤

Thanks Jerry! Harry Dean Stanton and Dick Miller are my favorite character actors.
There where so many great character actors...you could easily make this a ten part series.
I always liked John Anderson. I had the pleasure of meeting him around 1980, walking down Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, I never knew he lived in the neighborhood, very cool.

Me Too
One of my favorite Harry Dean Stanton movies was 1985's One Magic Christmas. One of his last movies, Lucky, was also very good.
Richard Jaekel was one of the most underrated actors of his time.
Great career, Fine work a good living and no drama outside of his work.

thanks again jerry, still watch all of these actors weekly on grit TV, my antenna on my chimney.
Harry said at the end there "it doesn't matter" but he did matter, he enhanced people's Lives and brought happiness to millions. RIP.
All of these Actors are great. They are the background of all of the movies and TV shows.

Character actors are like studio musicians. They have be versatile and ready for any situation.

The actor who said for the man who shot Liberty Valance also played a judge on Perry Mason. He fit that part perfectly.
Some were more than just character actors. Their names are well known and they had impressive careers.

Rather poignant ending there, Jerry; with Stanton's response: "How would you like to be remembered?" "Doesn't matter." That is genuine humility.
