The late character actor discusses the stormy shooting of Verhoeven's "Flesh + Blood." He was nothing if not candid about his bumpy career in show biz, which ranged from working in straight-to-video thrillers and comedies to having featured roles in the films of Walter Hill, Sam Raimi, and Robert Altman. This interview was conducted at the Chiller Theatre convention in New Jersey back in 1999.

Brion James is one of the greatest characters of all time. Big, intimidating, tough and scary. Look closely, kids: this is what drugs does to you.

Oh he looks so awful. Its so sad. He was the villain in so many eighties films. Like, almost ALL of them. Poor guy. The drugs killed him. Ron Lacy, who was ill his whole life, is gone too.

God, Bruno Kirby is gone also. So so sad.

Wait a minute!!!

Brion James.... LeBron James..... weird man.

[pookie67]

yea he sure seems like he was in bad shape, poor brion. He suffered two strokes in '97, i think the drugs and hard living just took it's toll
