This guy has looked 52 years old for 40 years
I'm 52...and I hope to look like this when I'm 90.
@@CodeBleu724you know he is 80 and not 90 though right?
I had the exact same thought. But you said it better.
you have a wild imagination if you believe he looks anywhere near 52
In other words, timeless LOL
Fun fact. My dad was kurtwoods stunt man in robocop. My dad went through the three glass windows for kurtwood. The final window explosion broke the glass to late and cut dads head as he went through it. Ive heard my dad tell me about those stunts my whole life.
That's awesome!
Phenomenal fact!. Thank you for that.
That is a Really Cool Thing to Have as a Father Story
Your dad is cool and has been involved in masterpiece.
Doesn't the window break a bit too early?
"Can you fly, Bobby ??" - Kurtwood was excellent !!
You! You burnt the fucking money!
Hahaha
@@stevejacobs2764 i had to blow the door what do you want?
Kurtwood was brilliant in Robocop.
Legendary
A genuine badass
The best performance out of that movie by far
He was so important to that movie, esp. considering how cartoonish the actors in his crew were. I'd go so far to say if a lesser actor, nor Ronnie Cox, were cast the movie wouldn't be the classic it is.
@@brandall101 I still remember seeing Robocop at the cinema. I remember which cinema it was and I remember my interaction with an usher prior to entering the screening room. It is a unique movie. It has heart and it has action. It has stood the test of time.
"Can you fly Bobby?" - KURT's TOMBSTONE
"Well, give the man a hand!" My favorite Clarence Boddicker quote.
"C'mon, Sal! The Tigers are playing TONIGHT! I never miss a game."
Switch Tigers for the Packers and this could EASILY be a line Red Forman would say lmao😂
I'll buy that for a dollar
The way he iced Murphy in robocop was one of the most savage cinema moments
Ok...fun's over.
Have you seen the directors cut of that scene? My god just so brutal
@@ryanstoopes188I have not but I’ll go find it. I remember what hit me hardest as a kid was how they laughed at his pain. Definitely not viewing material for a 5 year old!
His character in Robocop scared me so much as a kid that I never watched a single episode of That 70s Show because of him.
The dad in Dead Poets Society was actually way scarier for this then-high school junior 😆
That mind-effed me because he looked so much like my own dad, who's personality is so much like real-life Kurtwood and in no way like the DPS character, it was like being stuck in a nightmare seeing "my" dad act like that.
Clarence and Red are night and day, but I get it.
agreed, he was really scary & believable in that role - fantastic!
Wilmer Vanderrama (Fez) was such a fan of Robocop, he saw it more than once. When he got casted for That 70s Show, he was in awe when he met Kurtwood.
Damn
Clarence Boddicker was one of the best villains of the '80s, if not on the top list of ever. Because of that, it was difficult for a lot of people to see Kurtwood Smith in anything, without thinking of him as that character. Amazing all of the work and experience he had, way before the public ever knew who he really was. I've loved him in everything he's done.
He was offered the villain part in Total Recall but he declined
YES he is!
Clarence Bodicker is in my top ten of villains easily
“State of the art..bang, bang…”
Never forget this man works for Dick Jones.
He's the number two guy at OCP!
hahhaahahhaa dude you made my day
"Just give me my fucking phone call"!!!!
Absolutely love him in That 70’s Show.
One of my favorite Red scenes is when Kitty takes him out to dinner, and then (to Red’s chagrine) invite Bob and Midge. Who, on the advice of their new age marriage counselor, both show up with dates. Red’s thinly disguised horror and disgust are just priceless.
Kurtwood is still one of my favs. What a gem as an actor. Still the funniest dad is all sitcom history for me. Played the part exactly like my old man. A+
Robocop was freaking awesome.
Verhoeven always knew what he was doing. Especially with "Total Recall". 💪😎✌️
Kurkwood Smith and Michael Ironside need to be in a film together.
I used to mix them up. They would be great in a Western.
@@Madbandit77 I know, it didn't help that they were in different Paul Verhoven movies.
Remake of ‘second hand lions’
I thought it just me. Lol
Michael was actually considered for the role of Robocop but he was considered too tall. He would have looked huge in the costume.
My Pop and I were movie buffs. He said, "Wanna go see "Robocop"?" "Sure," sez I, thinking what a *stupid* name *that* is. Three hours later, I come out of the cinema all "WOOOO! ROBOCOP!!" Seen it about a thousand times since, and Mr. Smith is still as lethal as the first time. RIP Pop.
Red Forman, ladies and gentlemen!
It's work it's not super happy fun time
Great I'll buy that for a dollar
@@clifftanton8385 a banjo, bob?
The best TV dad
Best Dad ever. I always wanted to be raised by Clarence Boddicker.
Not Mr Perry though
what about Red Foreman?
Him and Jack Arnold.
Dead Poets Society is still in my top top 10 favorites.
He's so good as the Dad in that movie that you forget he's in everything else, like Bryan Cranston.
"I love my dead gay son!!"
Powerful role in DPS. A rough one, but hey, someone with legitimate acting chops had to do it.
I watched it again recently and Robocop looks so ridiculous. He's like 5 foot 5 inches tall. 😂
This guy is the best. I was out of my mind when I saw him as the dad on TSS.
Very interesting brilliant man
I work for Dick Jones!!!!!
Can you fly Bobby?
Saw this dude at the Glendale Galleria in the Apple Store. We were both shopping for a computer lol
Hah! Awesome. "Kurtwood gets a new laptop" sounds like a great skit. 😁
I still prefer the original Robocop over the remake
You and everyone…
Nothing can top the original.
What a hot take
So do the people who remade it. Its terrible.
Accept no substitutes
I typically hate celebrity inverviews, but hell, Rich seems to get such interesting guests that you wouldnt expect from a sports focused show.
Did he ask Kurt about trying to get a violent serial rapist from prison, or is Rich a joke too?
“You burnt the f@$kin money!!!”
“I had to blow the door! What do you want?”
Just gimme my f*ckin phone call!!!!
He wasn't supposed to say that, but the producers thought it was okay to say that.
I say this line every week.
This man is incredibly talented. He such a nice guy and so caring and down to earth, but he plays such hard men in his roles. One of my all time favorite TV dads and one of the scariest men I've ever seen in a movie (Robocop and Dead Poets Society). An outstanding career. And he's had a hand in voice acting in some great work there too.
PS. We really missed out on a Kurtwood Smith and Michael Ironside action duo with them cast as brothers (even if they are the villains).
Well put! 🙂 Completely agreed. I think there's another Michael who should've joined them. Can you guess who it is? One hint was his incredible role opposite Lee. Another was his role as "Mr. Sanji". 💪😎✌️ Yet a third was his role as the henchman to Rickman in medieval style film...
Red - "Who showed you how to do this?" (the kids smoking weed)
"Was it those da*m Beatles?!"
"All you need is love...."
"All you need is a job and a haircut!"
I love when he asked Hyde; "What are you gonna put on your resumé?...Dumbass?"
Love Love Love this actor. Especially in Robocop. Academy award stuff
He's in all my favorites.
He's literally the 1950s version of my father in dead poets Society.
"Can you fly Bobby?!" 😂
Dude made the world take us bald guys seriously. Props
Look at me! I'm Wipped Cream Head!! 😂
This segment gets the best stars to interview
One of my favorite Smith roles, is in the criminally underrated Flashpoint (1984) opposite Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams. Incidentally, it also stars his future RoboCop co-star Miguel Ferrer. Smith's little 'supply and demand' speech in the lakeside scene with KK is so good, his shady intel character is every bit as evil as Boddicker in RoboCop just a different kind of guy.
My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Kurtwood at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival one year. He was just sitting there enjoying his Crawfish Monica and listening to the music. Looking back on it, I hate that we even bothered him, but he couldn't have been more gracious and kind...such a contrast to his characters in Robocop and Dead Poet's Society (acting!).
Clarence Boddicker is definitely the scariest villian of all time. I couldnt even watch the scenes in which he was in. I thank my parents for letting me watch that back in the day.
He was great in Oscar too. Underrated Stallone comedy movie.
“Bishes…..leave!!!!” 😂
Yep! best line in the movie.
A great movie villain he played right up there with Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber.
One of the best villains ever.
Great death scene too “sayonara Robocop!” Is not a line many people could make sound awesome but he nailed it.
Love Kurtwood.
When he walked on set, he said, “Hey, Richieboy! How’s tricks?”
What a bloody nice man
'Killing' Peter Weller in Robocop...freaky cool. Great actor.
He will always be Red Forman for me. I have watched that 70s show several times over the years. One of the greatest shows ever
Crazy how do many Robocop fans don't realize the movie is satirical and commenting on society.
Of course the fans get it - non fans maybe...
That RoboCop story just adds to the legacy of the film and his role 😂
He is so fantastic, and *wow* was I scared of him when I was younger 😬
Kurtwood in Robocop, and Michael Beach in One False Move…two of the scariest villains in movies.
I love it when rich eyes and interviews these guys he asked these awesome questions almost like as if it were me.
Red forman is the best tv dad ever
Cool to know that Kurtwood was studying and working in the SJ/SF bay area like Robin. I've been there all my life, and also studied production for 30+ years.
It’s the state of the art bang-bang.
"Just give the man a hand!"
It's the nice guys that play the most vicious villians. I think his performance in Fortress is great and I sure need to see more of his work, love his short bit in Hitchcock. A statement against violence by a guy who played one of the most brutal villians of the 80s! Great to see him!✌️👋
I always loved his role in the movie "Flashpoint". He played an FBI agent and his dialogue was just fantastic.
Cant wait for the next segment of !Everything is True! with Rich Eisen
Robocop is easily in my top 3 favorite sci-fi movies of all time. And Kurtwood Smith was a huge part of that. He was so evil. Such a great actor.
I love it. The man smiles when his wife is mentioned.
"Emil, In the van."
There have been a lot of really well played bad guys in movies over the years. but Kurtwood's work in Robocop is legendary. Because he's a psycho but he's not a screamer, funny in a sick way, calculating, and gives zero fu#*s.
The way he tried to get a violent serial rapist released from prison is scarier than any role he’s ever played.
Fantastic interview.
He was in Dead Poet's Society.
It played the role brilliantly. A Dad who you wouldnt like to have. Smith is a fantastic actor
I wonder how many people remember Kurtwood Smith played the President of the Federation of Planets (under heavy make-up and a wig!) in Star Trek VI?
Heh. Everybody remembers Clarence Boddicker (the biggest, toughest a-hole in movies in the late 1980s!) and Red Foreman! I still get a kick out of the fact he played both hardass Red and Clarence!
Kurtwood still looks great! Someone needs to give him a meaty movie or streaming series role. There's still gas in the tank!
Was such a terror in Robocop A+ villain and brilliant as Red in the 70’s show
Smith is one of those guys who owns a scene. He's so great.
Kurtwood has done a great job with the characters he has played, including one in an overlooked 1990 short film titled "12:01 PM". Very versatile actor with a great resume.
Clarence Boddicker was in my opinion the BEST villain in a 80's action movie.
You can keep the gum.....
When people talk eveil villians in cinema Clarence bodicker has to b in the top 5
That series Kirkwood was working on before being cast in Staying Alive was the short lived tv show Renegades which starred Patrick Swayze!
Incredible how so many comments are about Clarence Bodikker. Man was this character great. I'm sure Kurtwood still gets called that name every day to this day 😆
Man I loved Soap. Such a great show!
I saw Quick Change when it was in the theater but I didn't realize he was in an episode of Soap. When he said that line I remembered it, just didn't know it was him. He'll always be remembered as Red Foreman.
Star Trek Voyager episode year of hell. He was great in it.
He was Federation President in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
@@bluestarshipace9530 And a Cardassian on DS9.
He was such a great villain in Robocop!
This guy is forever Clarence J. Boddicker for me because first time I ever saw him was in Robocop when I was a child :)
Love Kurtwood!
He was my fav villian and tv dad.
I loved him at the beginning of Staying Alive.
When Robocop is throwing him through that glass, that's some classic s**t 😂
Kurtwood stole the show in ROBOCOP.
The guy that played Spike in Clarence gang had the funniest slime ball laugh ever 🤣🤣
"Who sung the theme to the classic film 'Staying Alive'? You guessed it, Frank Stallone."
I can’t listen to his voice without being intimidated by Clarence Boddicker. All time great villain!
Man, it's so cool to hear how these guys got started. I just learned that he knew Robin Williams before Dead Poets. Robin Williams...gone too soon.
I just watched the two-part episode of Star Trek Voyager that he was in and this dude looks exactly the same today haha
Yer onto somethin' with these pop culture hits, Mr. Eisen.
Was in one of the best short movies i have seen 12:01. If you haven't seen it see it .kurtwood's best performance.
”Cobra assault cannon, state of the art bang bang.”
I consider him one of the best movie villains of all time due to Robocop.
Rich Eisen should play The Winnebago Man in a future biopic lol
He scared the crap out of me in Robocop! He played such an evil dude but hey, he is a great actor. A cool guy in real life but that’s what makes a great actor.
Kurtwood Is soooo coool!!! Hands down
He tried to get a serial rapist released from prison.
Damn! How cool is that??
As an alumnus of college of Marin I can confirm these stories that Mr Smith is telling as I heard them from faculty some years later
“Bye bye, baby…”
“CLARENCE!”
*spit*
Okay, I give up.
Red Forman for President.
His slogan on the cap etc is going to be dumbasses!!
He was great in that 70's show. However, I was 7 when Robocop came out. To this day I remember him more as the bad guy in that movie than any other role he's had.
