Пара старых интервью периода Mag7 с Mag7daybook:
Michael Biehn interview KLOS Radio ~ January 29, 1999 commentsДата интервью такая многообещающая, а на деле это оказался типичнейший образчик тупых изгалений тупых американских ди-джеев, убивших всякую информативность от Майкла. Даже нечего процитировать отсюда… Ну разве что это:
So what was it that made you turn from, “I don’t wanna do television, I don’t want to do it.” Did you read the first show, the first sсript, is that what did it?
Mike: I think, to tell you the truth, it’s kinda odd. The people producing this show is a company called Trilogy and Pen Denshem is a director, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a movie called “Moll Flanders”, but it’s a beautiful, beautiful movie that was done and Pen is a wonderful director who just did a film for TNT called “Houdini” and they produced “Robin Hood” with Kevin Costner and they produced “Backdraft” and they’ve been involved with filmmaking and they really care. And they came to me, I’ve talked to them before about other projects, and they came to me with this. The head of CBS Les Mooneves called me and said, “I want you to do something for CBS.” And I said, you know what, I want to stay in LA because I have a family. You got something in LA that’s an ensemble you know, I might be interested and six months later this came along. To tell you the truth, I thought I do the pilot which was the 2 hour show and I figured it’s very hard to get a show off the ground these days and I figured, and you can also have very good shows that nobody watches … So I figured I do the pilot, get a nice chunk of money and lo’ and behold, we got picked up for four last year and we were on Saturday nights and then we got picked up for four more. We did good numbers last year and they put us in mid-season and this is like our third or fourth show this year.
Что-то у меня подозрение, что резкая необходимость быть с семьей, о которой он пару раз здесь упомянул, возникла после интрижек с особой, ныне считающейся его супругой.Fan chat with Dale Madkiff, March 20, 1998 commentsЗдесь есть пара любопытных моментов:
Why did you take on the role of Buck on the Magnificent Seven and how much of him is Dale?
DaleMidkiff: I took on the role of Buck, because, actually, I thought I'd missed all the Western roles, I was in Australia at the time doing Time Trax, and when I heard about this, I knew I had to grab it! I was first offered more of a hero role, but I read the lines for Buck, and he was the funniest character, and I thought I could take him a lot of places, so I really, really wanted to do it! As for Dale being in Buck, yes, there's a bit of Dale in everything I do!
a hero role – то это он так говорит о роли Вина, ибо она была ему предложена вначале? Ах.
What has been your favorite episode of The Magnificent Seven?
DaleMidkiff: I liked them all, except for the one that just aired. I liked Nemesis, Working Girls, and I thought The Pilot was outstanding. It just seems that the more you get to know these characters, the more fun it is. I also really like tomorrow night's episode, Prisoner 78.
Теперь всех волнует вопрос, чем он невзлюбил Manhunt. Он играл там с искренним энтузиазмом, экспромтом с Тони стукнув мальчика Рэйфа по голове.
What is your typical daily filming schedule like?
DaleMidkiff: Well, it varies. If it's a day shoot we start at 5.30 or 6 in the morning. There are 7 of us, so some days we might work more than others. But it's a long day, 10 or 12 hours. We work on 5 different ranches up in Valencia, about 45 minutes north of LA. There's the Disney Ranch, and Melody Ranch, where the main town is. So we move around depending on the scenes to be shot. It varies a lot, depending on the schedule.
Бедненькие, то-то в одном видеоинтервью Майкл радовался, что по утрам бриться не надо. Лишнее минутка поспать. Ему и ЕС.
