    My only issue with this video is it isn't long enough. I could listen to Kurt talk for hours! Seems like a down to Earth cool man.

      UA-cam pulled up another interview with Kurt in my stream that appears to have been filmed on the same day. (He's wearing the same clothes.) If you look on GQ, he has a 26-minute interview about his most iconic character roles.

    1000% agree with Snake Pliskin being his coolest character ever. Used Cars is so funny and over looked. Kurt Russel is by far my favorite contemporary actor. Second to my all time favorite, Humphrey Bogart

    Actor Stephen Lang shared that after a publication dropped him from mentioned on the cast list, Kurt Russell and Sam Elliot asked for the paper to mention the actor. He was a wasn't a known actor at the time to the mainstream but Kurt wanted promotional material to include him to. I thought that was nice he wanted the public to recognize the other lesser known actors.

    That story about hanging out with Sunday on the last day of shooting was so sweet.

    I've always liked Kurt Russell. When I was a kid I remember him in 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' and thought he was the coolest guy around...still do. He seems like one of the rear real and honest real people out in an increasing depraved industry.

    I grew up watching Kurt Russell starting with Gilligan's Island the Disney movies, escape from New York, big trouble and little China, The thing, tombstone, soldier, you name it been a lifelong fan of Kurt Russell, he always seemed like that favorite uncle the one that was just too cool.

    Great actor no fuss around in normal life kind guy down to earth person still with Goldie after all those years.

  • @MarkSmith-th1ij

    Kurt Russell is perhaps my all time favorite actor!! Partly because we are almost the same age but also because most of his movies are among my all time greats. I think Big Trouble in Little China probably wins the prize, not that it is a masterpiece but it is quintessential Kurt Russell!! Kurt doesn't seem to take himself too seriously which adds to his charm. He has seen so much in his long career that to see to sit down and talk with him would be mind blowing!! Love the Monarch series!! Best wishes to you buddy!!

  • @williamdavidson1716
    @williamdavidson1716 10 місяців тому +6

    I just want him to talk about big trouble in little China.!
    Jack Burton is just his best role bar none
    I never hear him talk in depth on it in any interviews
    To bad

    I saw the Phoenix Lights while on a business trip. I already knew that Kurt had seen them from an older interview. I felt saner knowing he & I saw the same freaky thing at the same time. Pretty cool too!

    I watched overboard so many times and I want to watch it right now for the 4th or 5th time. Loved Goldie since "Laugh-In." Russell goes way back to my early childhood. We're about the same age.

    No …. The best Kurt moment was during Wyatt Earp when he told Billy “I don’t need to go well healed to get the drop on a tub like you, skin your smoke wagon and watch what happens “ …. 🤓😆

    He seems fun to listen to. The line of lights is light from Venus getting reflected by swamp gas. Or it could be starlink. Depending on the year. Listen, I've seen what has to be a million stars. There's no way earth is the only planet, even in our immediate area, that is inhabited with life. The earth is very old and it has had different life types in it's history. And these other stars have planets that probably have life of some sort like earth has had. With all that said, we are probably alone on this planet.
