Lawrence Tierney

Yeah.

Well, he's like, he's Lawrence Tierney, but not a mean guy at his core.

Right.

I mean, you know, his political sympathies and the fact that he was blacklisted communist sympathizer legitimately one, right.

Yeah.

Um, and they've got their, their main guy there, their boss, a guy called Joe Cabot, who's played by Lawrence Tierney-

Mm.

An in- incredibly fascinating man that-

but yeah.

Long story short, yeah, it's all taking place in this graduation, surrounded by these mansions that this old fucking Lawrence Tierney lives in.

So there's a little bit of spook factor there, a lot of thrilling chase sequences.

And they're just trying to survive.

Right.

And, you know, it was his daughter, but we don't get any details beyond that.

And again, that's Lawrence Tierney.

He's like the other big name.

Wow.

And I know Lawrence Tierney had his brief role on that episode as well.

And sadly, another.

I mean, I'm a massive fan, but I would imagine.

I mean, the gentleman's reputation is quite a handful was kind of notorious.

How was the work of Lawrence Tierney?

Uh, that was one of the most unique experiences I ever had.

Uh, whereas the one I could babysit and, uh, and keep him from exploding, um, Mr. Tierney did explode over and over again.

I can't tell you exactly why.

It's I can tell you the story of how, like, Lawrence Tierney pulled a knife on people on the set of the Seinfeld set.

[laughs] Well, yeah, that I remember.

Yes, but I remember they, like, wrote him off with malice.

So it is a little all over the place.

Before we move to the next thing, which is going to be pretty much a 90-degree turn, I think by design by Boyle, did you know that Lawrence Tierney was originally cast as Joe? Makes sense.

I think that would have...

It might have landed a little too close.

Yeah,

for sure.

Apparently Lawrence Tierney was originally cast to play Joe and he was fired two days before photography started because he was arrested for assaulting a bartender who refused to serve him any more hard liquor.

That was what...

... a little bit of soul, a little bit of personality.

Um, whether it was, like, Lawrence Tierney in Reservoir Dogs or, I mean, there are more ex- Robert Forster, uh, being another-

Sure

... big example of it.

that's confidence i love that

they had a big hit with dillinger the lawrence tierney picture and then they decided to like branch off and do their own thing and it was distributing rodan that gave them the idea of all right let's do our own so we can pocket all of the proceeds which is kind of funny to consider because let's be honest they fleeced whatever japanese distributor gave them rodan in the first place like Ain't much money is being shared between hands.

But with Gorgo, and I think that, you know, I probably didn't have that much of affinity for Gorgo when I saw it back in the day because I was like, I could just be watching a Godzilla film instead of Gorgo.

Watching it now, it's like 78 minutes.
