@Gnillob802 You are SO right! An amazing and inspirational interview from a person who had a unique inside view of the industry (and who himself made a MAJOR contribution to television).

I worked at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, TN from 1986-89. Legendary pool hustler Minnesota Fats was a permanent resident. Minnesota told similar stories of old Hollywood characters. Neat guy, I miss him.

The most inspirational, informational and comprehensive interview on the industry yet only 156 views of the complete interview. A sad commentary on Hollywood (and confirmation of Foy's criticism of today's Hollywood). Every person involved in film or TV should listen to this interview, new or experienced. Why aren't film schools requiring this interview? Its possible some are watching from another source, but most use YouTube so these numbers would and should be in the thousands. A shame.
