Clickable round irving when he came to the door, I would say to him: I ve taken up that's a lake in the leg up at her out. Now, because when I was growing up, we said the and are not because We were ledges at all, but it was just the way you know working class was riding people's welfare. At that thou lake in now.

I am from my jelly and penal papa, you say that you remember this is a quote word for word.

Do. I know what you're talking about ha is it for saying to me that it is memories like that that stick and theirs the possibility of them ever being removed, barely adequate right

and the one thing I remember that worried me most about that was my father- might see it and it would disappoint him nothing in a week, harrison forward on this. But as very recently and Both of you have known a kind of success that one percent of one percent of one percent of yours will ever know, but he went on it great length. He knew the name of the man who turned him down in. Nineteen sixty eight and told him he didn't have what it takes an he repeated his name, I think fifteen times cartilage airing the castle. We all regret. We all remember it and your thinking how much there is no amount of success that you can label on a surprise, do it or harrison, for there is no amount that can take that away, and this is just the blessing in the car I'm so glad you ve told me that about harrison, I've been a huge fan, but

always been aware in his work, that there is some kind of internal softness gentleness that occasionally just bleeds out into what he does and he is letting it out.

These are that's right with edit with wigs, we can get three rules out of you has been tested. I click and I've had some sensational wigs in my lifetime really because You know they say the weak mega says you am born to wear wigs. Maybe it's not the biggest company

yeah born to wear a mass website right, so you so you you're moving up in the world. You are making your way. You move to london and there's a part in the book, because you'd led this very sheltered life in mere field and you'd been all these stereotypes, and one of the stereotypes you'd been taught was: don't trust the irish you ma into a flat and there are some irishman. No it was. It was a lodging lodging house again. First of all, I still believe: don't trust you reset and I'm a hundred percent I so I am.

who was a leading actor in the company we working for which was the london over company owns, were we were only to our we didn't ever play in london. and I mean first This invitation was wonderful but the reason being that I was the humblest member The company I had been a last minute inclusion today, we heard, rehearsals began, I got this offer and the working hands on producer was a very unpleasant individual he found he chose me as his one to go for and he did one say in front of the whole company battery we're doing this in an inner in honour of building an you're at the bottom. So sit down, I mean You you wouldn't get away with that today. I try

right now. Is that why you look at me barely adequately at rio was interview, you know a lunch and I know what I am to me: we're going leslie forbear testimonial, our so you're at this production yet yeah, yeah yeah or employment with reading side by side and I'm so excited and thrilled and proud to be sitting alongside by the way in a dinner jacket because we ve been told by the way when you go and destroy, you must have dinner jacket. Scolding there'll, be a lot of formal part. Is jacket, everyone, the dinner jacket and I went look. I could possibly afford one they were so I spent but John cross road. There was a used guy men's used garment shop- and I went and there was this tuxedo

and it was I dunno what it was made of, but it looked like a blanket and it was was huge and I think it was a blanket yeah. I think you've got time there like it yeah. I was sitting on one side of her and her gorgeous boyfriend, sitting on the other side of the wearing of fabulous expire, the suit and I saw the She was touching her face quite often, and then finally, she current events, you took my hand and she said, patrick I have to leave. This is so upset you see so many of these lovely people. I worked with a dead end, upsetting me so much so for sharing this. I hope you enjoy. The night and she, it happened. John walk I was touch. She could have just left,

you didn't have to say thank you for coming and very good of you and x play into me why she was crying was a soup, oh god, of of her day, there was no actress today. That's ever been bigger than than Vivian was to cut a mere words. I think as well wasn't just that you have fabulous. Looking although she was a very, very nice person, but she had a temper. I saw Once there was a wonderful actress who I cannot name but she's, dead too, who is playing a cat? and when she had led him, oh very important roles and the during the cut. Go one eyes. She was on one side of vivian. John was on the other side. I was back on another row and then at this other actress, lean I heard her say something to the other. As you know, was leaning forward whither hear what it said, but a shoe, standing up Vivian who are just

then presented with a bouquet of flowers lifted up on it, across the face with a hooker for speaking of yeah. I butchered it. Apparently she had said something that Vivian didn't like didn't like the she then later on, we learn that she had illnesses and they were very problem, magic, and indeed, I think, eight years later she died of this I believe she might have had to colossus or something I think it was a long issue, and she also had what do they call them? because up and down you know, I don't know which we're about that. Allow you to mental illness Yes, yes, bipolar disease. I pole, which never show in her work her and when it was great leads to have known her and she was so kind and, I celebrated my twenty fourth, but first birthday through apart,

and she came to my god. None of the other produces did vivian came and she gave me a golden cotton handkerchief, which she had sprinkle with perfume that she always will surely one perfume which called joy by pat to- and it was wonderful and for years breathe vivian in from the handkerchief that she given me and then I moved on, went different places and two years ago I found he asked oh good. I was going to say if this thing is missing, how I'm waddling the smell was gone, but the memories complex. We could get some dupe yes now, and I want to talk about cologne that men, where I've war at once, The dream was to be in the royal shakespeare company and you made it happen, which

this day of all of your accomplishments. It might be hard to top that the one being in the rail shakespeare company from the moment that several dominant put not have been, into my hand, at the age of twelve right, to the age of twenty four twenty five, by which time I five or six years in rapid for theatre first weekly, then to weekly, I mean I mean we played for weeks, and we put on the new show every monday night, then a fortnight than three weeks. And then finally, at bristol old, vic, monthly, wrap and and and it was this was a plan it wasn't accidental. I was aiming to go up each year if I could, because my objective was the rosh expert and then they have been to see other actors when I was in bristol and but one of them who is left us may rest in peace, charlie, thomas

was only an assistant stage manager and playing little box and they caused him to roger. They come here. They wanted him and across europe I am why not me, why not me this round is made all right. I tell you, I'm gonna come out of it. I am a contract, you know I mean people and other workers. Yolo becomes a car yeah. Charles, Xavier, oh, that you go know I'm a character yeah, especially in logan one x. While I was just saying it's fascinates me that

If the objective was always a royal shakespeare company, yes and you when we, you were not interested you'd had no ambitions and television, you didn't have ambition in film and then you know, you're you're, doing quite well. You've achieved your dream and then at the age of I believe, forty five, forty six, This possibility of this star trek show you. You bring up jean luc picard you, this comes along and where I was found Seeing in an you verify the book, is you approach this as a shakespearian role? You took it, which I think is brilliant use add out. This is a tv show, and this is a you know. Part of a generation of you know, there's an another star trek, I'm going to approach this as if it's lira hamlet, that the seriousness with which I am going to take this It certainly served you well, it did, but It also made me confident because

familiar with that. However, when I came to review the first season of next generation I was in order, Happy with the work done, I thought it was two in turn: two restrained to solitary to unconnected with others. So I resolved that from the start of the second season. I would begin to opening up and let him out and that continue for seven years. Seventy, and for me is and then three citizens of the god which only rapid that fifteen months ago. It feels like you started to. Let yourself have more fun. Is that what it is well? One of my favorite moments in in the book is telling this cause. I haven't told it to many people that halfway through the first, isn't that generation at than we were a wonderful group of of actors I fell for Jonathan

and and marina gates, and all of them very soon and nevada and Michael. I must leave anybody out there s a lot and whoopi when she joined air, and am I one day. I called a meeting because I I thought I'm captain of the enterprise but because he led companies in the theater. I felt This should be my role here, I'm leader not just of star trek of starfleet but of this ban people who are working these endless days, twelve fourteen, sometimes sixty nowadays to get all is done and so on all this meeting and I said all right, listen it seems to me you don't people don't understand, is that there are two sets of work going on here is the work we do and the time off the we occasionally

our day a long weekend and then the rest of the crew and people in office were here ever a single day looking brutal hours, we have got make their lives easier, and the problem is we are having too much fun. That was the phrase that has still not left me today. Yeah I mean I owe Jonathan breaks out to me: yeah, I'm sorry! We have too much from yeah you got over it. That was your instincts and you got over it. Yes, yes, because it it was limiting yes, restricted, know and, and the old, I guess, as I hope in part, this conversation is illustrated. I get looser and I attach things are inside myself to my outside life. For the first time that you came on the programme, I remembered I not met you

I just know you by this man. This man royal, shake your company and so accomplished, and who am I to talk to him and- You were funny and delightful and self deprecating and silly, and I think there was a real gift. There was a real gift. See that if someone who's accomplished all this diskin can let go a little bit. That's a great that's a great gift to give to people. Thank you. It benefits me in my life, things occasionally been said to me that have stock and had an impact. My first ever day in front, which is in the book on in front of a camera, a film camera. within a film called hennessy, which start rod Steiger and I had half a day's work. Which was me and roads tiger in the back of a car, and I the gun on them, and it was once in the gus,

It didn't happen for me, I mean the character and it's uh. It's a long anecdote. This I'm not even started from the beginning, but when when rod learned that this was my first day on a film said. He said Well, what are you doing for lunch? I know no. He said. What are you doing for lunch? and I said oh I I dunno, I mean what what do you do? You find a cafe is a no! No! No over there. There's a The counter and a barn get what you want. And bring into my trailer- and he said he saw a yacht bring it. So I did, and we had lunch sitting in his He was one of my heroes. Yes, you might think it should have been more than brando an was it from on the waterfront. Yes, yes and the pawnbroker

which is what rod, won an academy award near that scene with him and brando in the back. The com in which were pull the gun on brando unbundled goes off. Anxious moves it aside, goosebumps goosebumps and anyway, one of the things he said to me during this launch was just just as we are about to leave. He said, though, one thing worth remembering. The camera photograph faults, It was all and I have never forgotten so you do you think it and the camera wilson, I watch other actors who I really admire. immensely and the work that they do, and I said, on them. Somebody might say that face ass. He moved no.

Look at the eyes, it's full of faults, and you know you are involved and so You say that because I just watch the other day unseen, it all the way through four years, the steed mcqueen movie bullet nineteenth sixty eight and I watched it. Stunned me is mcqueen barely space and the whole movie riveting a lot of it people yelling at em, they're angry with him. You know, isn't yeah yeah? We don't like the way you're running this investigation. What are you doing and it's him and his eyes slightly moving side to side and you see the wheels turning and he's got all this coiled energy that he's not spending and it's fantastic if you're, not the way the pressure gotta, be doing something I often fear with some young actors just to do less but think

The camera sees it all on its magical, but of course those. Eyes: brando stagger Jacob, even the recent all of whom, by the way I have met except for brando, I had an invitation from somebody who was very close to him to go to his house upon them. Top of the hollywood hills appointment was set and I pulled out on it said to me he's very difficult and all I have Was this memory of this really end believe of a real actor and I didn't want it to strange, I want him to remain as he was when he moved rugs. gun aside and just saw them. Sadness in his face: it's it's a great job if, if you're lucky and you get the work to do and, of course right now there is no work. Well, that's why you're This book

I have to admit that you do have these other ideas that sound cool and you have other projects that that sound like they're kind of interesting and you ve got this new one that I heard about Adam mentioned it to me in the hall today and I said, wait a minute. Since a really good idea. I listen to that I wanted to bring it up on the air, very nice of you. I mean I will say that my podcasts are stupid. This one is legit

this area die in it. I tell you why, because I met my wife and I are doing it together and she adds a level of respectability that I cannot bring. Will ok, let's talk about this, because the project that you're working on is called keys to the kingdom and which interesting is it's about the experience of working at a theme park the first well, that's how you met your wife. That's right! We're both recurring theme park employs. She was a former princess. She played a bunch of princesses. I was just kind of a backdoor performer improv person then, and we met at universal studios that we both worked. It does, together and through the years we were beset, do crazy stories of shit. That goes on that you wouldn't believe in this

pike asked is like a episode doc. You series of people telling stories about when they work there. You guys are the house and then you're talking to a bunch of people. You know who were coming forward in just telling you the funny crazy things that happen to them. While they are working in theme parks and some people, we don't know in some people actually that are going under, assumed names and having their voices changed because three, there Worried about job security or past jobs care they might even work there in they still don't wanna upset certain theme parks, it's kind of a tongue in cheek, watergate, expos a oh. He thought I mean I've got the original watergate ex was a kind of tongue in cheek or treating it like we're Busting, the lid off something when I fact were just having a good time with some stories that are really ridiculous. Some stories that are kind of spooky and then soda was a guest as well, and she tells her story of getting busted by the disney police trying to smuggle inedibles yeah yeah. I did ya and also you don't even need to tell me what it was cause you could get. It started gonna in trouble,

for it usually revolves around a certain theme but peace to the kingdom and how to people listen to keep to the gates of anywhere. You can find podcast it's out now. You can subscribe on any pike. Ass player, there's also eight behind the scenes bonus episodes with extra material that you can get in the show notes of the past. Like I said, I would listen to this because, as someone who, every time I go to a theme park, my mind is racing wondering what's really going on geography and there's no way to find out, because you can't just ask people, but it sounds like you of Blown the lid off this story is a crazy creepy call. to be out of it so all respect to these major companies- oh god, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future, because I didn't just say that anyway,.
