Good God, they put that kind of effort for you: (Turn 102, December 1982)
You looked at many of the shows that were being pitched to you and you frowned. "You're serious?"
Turns out everyone wants to see you on TV.
What do you choose?:
[]Miami Vice (Crocket): Michael Mann wants to see you in the starring role of the TV show. Though he knows it's hard for you, and has no plans to ask again, he thinks you are the right sense of rough, ready and charming, and he says "Brutality" that he needs for the role of as he calls it "A Supercap" You can't say that he's wrong. He's also hoping that you can help him get some of the supercars for the set. And get the FCC to back off.
[]Magnum PI (A Villian): So it seems that folks at CBS, or more likely, Lucille, wants to give you one last parting gift before she retires to a new adventure. Being a special episode guest star on Magnum PI, where you play a former Vietnam soldier, turned Drug Lord in Hawaii, trying to wage his own personal war on the Vietnam refugees that, in his mind "Gave up on their fight for liberty" and that of the communist Vietnam. An interesting character to be sure, but one that could turn cartoony is played by a lesser actor. Perhaps that is why you were chosen.
[]The A-Team (A Villian): So the folks at NBC want you to be a sort of foil to Face in one of the episodes, a charismatic womanizer who, unlike Face, has no lines he will not cross, and is a vicious monster.. Do you think it would be a nice challenge, seeing as he will get killed at the end of the episode? Absolutely. Do you think it will make you feel… icky? Yes it will, but that is the challenge of doing roles.
[] None of these seem interesting (you don't act on any of these ideas)
