One of the great underused actors of film.

He's a good guy. I like his style

@listentome94 My bad. I thought he was born in 1930. I stand corrected.

There was a book written about him that was a complete hatchet job. I'm surprised his family didn't sue, maybe they felt a lawsuit would just give the book free publicity. Very sad story, and his wife Berry Berenson was on the plane that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11.

@AtorTheFlyingEagle You're wrong. He was born in 1932 and the movie was filmed in 1959 when he was 27. When he said 30 he was obviously just estimating.

Love Perkins and love Dave. Great interview. Thanks for posting! In this and an earlier Psycho 3 interview, Dave asks after Norman as though he's mutual friend. "So how's Norman doing?" Brilliant approach. You can tell Perkins enjoys it. Such fun.

We lost Tony too soon.  Hope his sons are holding up the legacy.

Thanks for uploading this. A shame Perkins wasn't given better acting opportunities at the end of of his life.

@redgrapeskins He was 28 going on 29 when it was filmed. It was released in 1960 when he was 30, so he probably is just thinking of the release date in correlation with his age.

@xXsamiiiXx He looked great at sixty when this was shot.

To really understand his amazing talent and essence, you have to see him in " Too Many Goodbyes" with Ingrid Bergman. Irresistable. Rest in Peace .
