Ben did great and was open to everything that Bruce offered and let him talk. Suggestion TCM, Give Bruce a spotlight show like the old Robert Osborne specials featuring a star from the past! Bruce obviously enjoys talking and still has a great memory of details about movies, on-set occurances, and observations about old vs. new Hollywood. This is the exact type of show your TCM viewers enjoy, walking down movie memory lane with someone that was actually there! I really learned a lot by listening to him. Sadly, it appears other stars like Piper Laurie and Warren Beatty just do not have the same memories or recollections anymore as Bruce did. Anyway, enjoying all the TCM Classic Film Festival highlights, and thanks for sharing!!
He is my favorite actor of all time. I saw the movie the Cowboys finally about 20 years ago when I was a teenager and he was so method and intense he scared me back to the 1800s. He stole that movie from John Wayne....He finally has his deserved recognition as one of the best ever.
The only movie I thought Dern was miscast in was "The Great Gatsby." Just saw him in a movie on RUclips last night: "The Trip" from 1967 with Peter Fonda. What I noticed was how good Dern was a reacting when another actor is the main focus of a scene. Also love the fact that Dern is a lifelong runner.
I know ! He's my kinda guy ! I'd sure love to have a leisurely breakfast with him at IHOP ! ☕He comes across as a very down to earth, friendly & humble fella. And the stories he has ! As a child of the 60s, I grew up watching him on TV & on the screen !!
I hope if bruce sees this it doesn't piss him off but I'm 65 and I remember very well seeing him on various TV shows during the 60s mainly westerns and I thought he was the most convincing bad ass I had ever seen on the small screen and I thought this guy has to be a bad ass in real life. If I live another 20 years I hope I'm half as sharp as he is.
Bruce Dern is a great actor. When he was a young man he excelled at playing highly dangerous psychopathic types in westerns. lol And he was totally convincing. I always liked him best as a really mean son of a bitch. lol He could be really scary. ;-)
Fantastic hour with Sir Bruce Dern, We should knight actors like this in our country and Sir Bruce Dern should get a knighthood. One of our greatest American Actors and a true original.
I’m no fan of royalty, but we Americans should have a title to honor lifetime achievement. I was thinking of an emeritus PhD, so he’d officially be DOCTOR Bruce Dern…
Heard about Bruce Dern from an extra, who worked in "Last Man standing." He said about him, "He usually plays an awful person in films, but when he's on the set he was very nice to everyone. He's a real nice guy." I read Kirk Douglas' autobiography and that's what he said about him as well.
I've known of Bruce Dern from TV since The Big Valley and I thought he was crazy. To this day, I would be super nervous sitting near him because of how well he played all those crazy men...lol P.S. I'm an Ohio University grad (Dernsy story)
Dern's been great in so many films, but my favorite role of his was in a movie nobody remembers called Posse (1975). It's a revisionist Western that Kirk Douglas directed and co-starred in, and really was quite a clever adaptation which by that time was something very hard to do with a Western genre. Kirk Douglas never directed another film (he only directed two), which just like Charles Laughton (famously with only one effort that's a masterpiece) was almost tragic, since he obviously had a talent for it.
Perhaps a movie star is another word for a model I don’t know. Because when I saw Coming Home it was Bruce Dern that held my attention more then any other actor in the film. And to me that’s a movie star.
I never likedBruce Dern. He WON! Always playing the part of the the rotten bastard. Did such a good job I hated him, but I loved watching him in movies. Helluva actor. Hope he is as good of a person as he is actor, I’ve heard he’s a good guy.
This is the scene with Robert Blake in "Pork Chop Hill" that Bruce Dern is talking about, ruclips.net/video/SUbNoCx3fqw/видео.html. From beginning to end, it's a ridiculous movie, strictly Amateur Hour. If that's acting, I'm the King of Siam. The death scene Bruce Dern talks about is so moving ... that they left it out of the video clip, lol. Still, Bruce Dern is always interest4ing to listen to when he's being interviewed. HE'S a great actor, and when he lays down a load of shit about how great "Pork Chop Hill" is .... man, that's acting!
I could listen to this man for hours! So many good stories. Always loved him. The graciousness of the interviewer is amazing.
I heartily concur !!

I've loved Bruce Dern since I was a child, crying at the end of "Silent Running". He mad me an environmentalist at age Nine.

Same.
THIS IS A MASTERCLASS, THANK YOU, BRUCE DERN! AMAZING

Well said and well put. Can't agree more.
Peter Jackson should get interviewed there two
Bruce Dern is still a phenomenal actor‼️ Debra Bader
Listen to his interview 2 hrs done in 2014 on foundation interviews. FANTASTIC!
He was so good being nasty in The Cowboys with John Wayne in 1972. Watch the river scene with the boy in that movie. INTENSE is an understatement.
Pure gold! I could listen to Bruce all day long (and all night long too for that matter)! Thanks for sharing so much of the interview with us! 😀
I remember when you were on The Fugitive and lots of other programs in movies when you're on the fugitive I remember we're talking n a m man

Thanks for posting as I had to miss this at the festival.
I certainly have a notion to second that emotion !!
Bruce Dern was fantastic in “The King of Marvin Gardens”.
The Detective in The Driver. Marvelous play.
The only movie I thought Dern was miscast in was "The Great Gatsby." Just saw him in a movie on RUclips last night: "The Trip" from 1967 with Peter Fonda.

Now THAT's product placement !!
He said he was wearing it because he loves their crepes

The people showing up doing interviews is amazing and the artist mostly 1 of a kind.

Bruce Dern should have been nominated for an Emmy for his work in the last season of Goliath. He was outstanding!
Goliath movie
Would love to see that movie

You need a king or queen. We got rid of royalty in 1776.
I’m no fan of royalty, but we Americans should have a title to honor lifetime achievement. I was thinking of an emeritus PhD, so he’d officially be DOCTOR Bruce Dern…
He was a great interview, engaging, entertaining, very enjoyable, I had a front row seat to it all close up was even better

Always like Bruce Dern.
Me too !

Great actor.
GREAT!!!
KING OF MARVIN GARDENS.
I didn't mean to watch all this but it's so good! Haha
@49:00 - Daryl Zanuck (Twentieth Century), Robert Taylor, Marlon Brando, and Johnny Carson were all from Nebraska - just sayin'
Henry Fonda
Andrew Robinson from dirty harry
And Bruce Dern in my opinion are the two best bad guy's ever...Would have been cool to see them together in a film...
I liked him in" Rebel Rousers".

Hey it's Big Bob!!
Been watching Bruce my who life from hitchcock presents to diggs town captivating vocie
The IHop hat is genius.

I wish I had that experience- I would have been an actor
47 miles WOW....
best I ever did was 28
but I was going up and down
2,000 ft drops and back up several times.
28 miles is enough
I like him
"I've never been a movie star" says the immensely accomplished actor wearing an IHOP cap.
And you're forgiven for shooting The Duke.
