Not many personal interviews are available but this one again shows him to be an incredibly charismatic and eloquent man. A wonderful actor departed way too soon. RIP DJ.
"Lizzy280664," "Love hearing him in his own voice" - check. "He was so cool" - check. "And such and excellent actor" - check. "This is brilliant" - NOT. The interviewer was poorly prepared; so EASILY got off track; worst of call -- came up short as far as having a line-up of "brilliant" questions. How nice for David Janssen fans to see relaxed in this casual setting.
"backindeday3211," Re "Harry O" being yanked from its should-have-been third season on ABC -- when Warner Bros. Television had a handful of scripts commissioned and ready -- as broadcasting lore tells us, only ONE man in the entire universe was responsible for that outrage -- ABC's honcho Fred Silverman. David Janssen was devastated.
"ladyjae65," As noted above: This was an interview . . . but hardly a 'great' interview. This clip being from a time capsule almost, it's easy to get sentimental and everything becomes wonderful, brilliant and great. It's indeed cherished.
Actor David Janssen was so young when he passed away he was only 48 years old I had the privilege of meeting him in 1974 I was living in New York at the time I was boarding the airline at LaGuardia Airport he was standing behind me walking into the jet I started to talk to him he sat next to me we spoke for a very long time he was very friendly and kind-hearted I was 19 years old at the time such a wonderful man every year on February 13th I light a candle for him that's the day that he died February 13th that's so sad and heartbreaking when I was talking to him on the airline he was so friendly and kind-hearted very good-looking and very handsome and yes with no doubt very sexy I say a prayer for him and yes I light a candle for him every year February 13th he was only 48 years old David may you rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ and In the Arms of an Angel yes David you deserved it the best
"JANSSEN1931," "Rare" - yes; "interesting" - not so much. Could have, SHOULD have been much, much better; e.g., for such a limited amount of time with the star, why devote so much time to his and "The Fugitive"'s appeal in Turkey?!
"patriciatulloch4252," This was an interview . . . but hardly a 'wonderful' interview. It being a time capsule, it's easy to get sentimental and everything becomes great or cherished. I wish the interviewer was better prepared and had better questions. For the limited amount of time he had with a star of the stature of David Janssen he didn't have to waste so much time about how the folks in Turkey are fans of "The Fugitive." And that closing line: "Well, you can always get / send a postcard" was . . . embarrassing. He seemed to be on a roll with Janssen discussing "Harry O" -- I only wish he'd pursued that, e.g., comparing starring opposite Henry Darrow to Anthony Zerbe; filming in San Diego vs. Malibu and Burbank (Warner Bros. Studios); what WAS the reason behind its SHOCKING cancellation? Those are questions Janssen would love to talk about -- different from the 100th time he's asked about "The Fugitive" -- and the audience would certainly learn something about him, his mindset and the workings of the Hollywood industry.l Anyway, thank you for posting this clip, "But Wait . .. . .There's More!" R.I.P. David Janssen, 1931 - 1980
"patriciatulloch4252," " . . . wish we could see more of his work on TV in England." Right; so many from all over feel the same way. Buying the Warner Archive DVD sets of "Harry O" was one of my better investments for a home library and certain episodes' repeat viewings. In the states public libraries have sections devoted to DVDs of classic movies and television programs. You just might luck out and find one locally with "Harry O." Good Luck!
"michaelares4240," Kurt guest on "Harry O" as well -- memorable because it was Farrah Fawcett-Majors' debut as Harry's 'friend with benefits,' Sue, the stewardess from next door (who took over for 'Betsy,' Kathrine Baumann's stunningly sexy, well-proportioned and sweet character, when Betsy and b.f. Walter moved to Hawaii).
Perhaps the best private detective series in television history, and it only went for 2 seasons. Jansen was perfect as the world weary lead, and such a stark contrast from the more sensitive, often desperate character he played in "The Fugitive."
@@michaelares4240 On the contrary, no, he was rougher -- yelling at Manny (Henry Darrow) and Trench (Anthony Zerbe), admittedly sometimes when they needed yelling at. But, we never saw THAT side of Janssen on "The Fugitive." In addition, he was more casual and sometimes callous about his bed mates on "Harry O". Look at the way he treated Margot Kidder and Marianna Hill in 'Such Dust as Dreams Are Made Of' and even sweet, ultra curvy and sexy 'Betsy,' Kathrine Baumann's stewardess neighbor for three episode mid-season of year one. Richard Kimble never would have treated Suzanne Pleshette's, Susan Oliver's, Vera Miles', etc. guest star characters on "The Fugitive" like that.
That was very sad and heartbreaking actor David Jensen passed away he was only 48 years old I was living in New York and in 1974 I was boarding on an airline at LaGuardia Airport I got the privilege of meeting him he was standing behind me when I was born on to the jet I said hello to him I was so surprised he sat right next to me on the airline he was so kind-hearted we talked for awhile and we both had a drink on the airline every year on February 13th that's the anniversary of his death I light a candle for him he was so young that is so very heartbreaking David may you rest in peace without Lord Jesus Christ and In the Arms of an Angel I was happy I got to meet him in person he spoke very kindly and gently to me very good-hearted man David was very good looking and handsome and with no doubt very sexy
This man was just universally liked every where he went. He was like your favorite pair of bedroom slippers. People were comfortable watching David Janssen in the TV movie of the week, or Harry O. Janssen started out in the fugitive and he became an instant star. I do miss David Janssen and I wish he could of hung around another 20 years. He was taken way too earlier. We miss ya David! RIP.
This actor i remember when i was a children...and could watch the serial The Fugitive year 69 to 70'..today i'm in 62 old years...too time..too years..
Such a shame that a wonderful talent and apparently genuine human being was taken way too soon. Thank you David for giving us two of my favorite fictional characters, Richard Kimble and Harry Orwell… Rest in eternal peace sir
The Harry O was a good show . I wonder the Network in 70's get rid of it. Should at least got two more seasons. Of course I loved David Jansen in fugitive. If he had been alive in 1993 ,I wonder what think big-screen version of fugitive.
The Fugitive is an American crime drama television series created by Roy Huggins and produced by QM Productions and United Artists Television. It aired on ABC from September 1963 to August 1967. O'Hara, U.S. Treasury (on-screen title is O'Hara, United States Treasury) was an American television crime drama starring David Janssen and broadcast by CBS during the 1971-72 television season. Harry O, sometimes spelled Harry-O, is an American private detective series that aired for two seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1976. It reran on CBS late night.
If you don't mind subtitles, the Turkish drama Gonulcelen is 112 forty eight minute episodes that are crazy good, funny and very well acted. Unfortunately, the ending (last three episodes) is a bit goofy. Watching this well-conceived and acted television show from Turkey makes it very easy to see why they loved David Janssen and The Fugitive series.
Mr Janssen to me always gave the impression of a decent , humble and regular guy ,trying to make a living ... no airs and graces , whatever . A superb gentleman .
I agree. However, I would hasten to add that he was basically a "regular guy" with a pretty serious drinking habit, to the degree that he would appear on television talk shoes clearly inebriated (but still charming)
"chudky7324," MUCH older than he was. . . . BTW, we love seeing actresses blouses unbuttoned half way or more to their navals. Hairy chested guys -- even handsome ones like David Janssen HERE -- not so much.
RIP DAVID JANSSEN. GONE TOO SOON BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
I heard that during Academy Awards his house was the place to be and that he had the best party in town celebrating the awards .
@Melanie Jarrett yep me too

This is brilliant - I love hearing him in his own voice - without a script. He was so cool! And such an excellent actor!

What a show absolutely brilliant should've stayed on the air fir at least another 2 seasons

What a story. I’m envious
Thank you for sharing!

Always a really brilliant experience to see David as himself. Wonderful, handsome, talented man.
I really agree with you!
R.I.P. DAVID
Can you please tell me what talent he had? Please!!
A wonderful interview he's just the best miss him so much wish we could see more of his work on TV in England please please so loved sadly missed xx

A great actor, man humble, Kurt Russell was on the fugitive when he was 12
So was Ron Howard and the child actor in Gentle Ben( can’t remember his name?).
@@johnchurch4705 Clint Howard, Ron Howard's little brother.
@@bryankolen7265 thank you 😊.
Don't forget a teenaged Beau Bridges in 2 episodes (3rd and 4th seasons).
"michaelares4240," Kurt guest on "Harry O" as well -- memorable because it was Farrah Fawcett-Majors' debut as Harry's 'friend with benefits,' Sue, the stewardess from next door (who took over for 'Betsy,' Kathrine Baumann's stunningly sexy, well-proportioned and sweet character, when Betsy and b.f.

Years later we see Gibbs perpetually working on his boat on NCIS.
David is very missed.
David Janssen was one of those actors that you recognized , but were hardly ever to name. "Harry O" was probably, IMO, his best work on TV.
And what about the Fugitive?
Wish this great series was streaming somewhere. Same goes with The Fugitive! Such a charismatic actor!
The Fugitive is shown in the U.K. on CBS Justice channel.
@@Barnee1897 thank you, I’ve now got The Fugitive on DVD 📀.
The best tv series he made, would love to see them. Again. A great man.

Very eloquent
I like "The Fugitive" :)
Great TV series indeed was that of The Fugitive!
I wish there were more personal interviews with DJ- I have searched and searched to no avail :-(
I have an interview with Mike Douglas I'll upload soon. It's not too personal but it's a chance to hear him speak as himself.
Surely that can’t be true 😂😂😆😂😆😂
@@helanesolomon1724 as a kid we always watched the Mike Douglas show .

Made a huge contribution to television. Made acting look very easy. Unfortunately never found a role in movies that identified his talent
He made a lot of bad movies but two of the best tv shows ever. And he was brillant in "A sensitive, passionate man"
@Melanie Jarrett Dickinson was brillant too. The chemistry between them was amazing.
He was a real actor with a big Charisma l love fugitive may God Bless his soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩✨✨✨✨🌅🙏

El gran amor de mi adolescencia ...

Did he say that some cinemas in Turkey showed The fugitive where there was no television sets? Wow

J-A-N-S-S-E-N
Surprised Jansen wasn't offered
the role of Quincy. Klugman was difficult at least at the beginning of the series and had shows creator fired .
He looked much older than he did
"chudky7324," MUCH older than he was. . . . BTW, we love seeing actresses blouses unbuttoned half way or more to their navals. Hairy chested guys -- even handsome ones like David Janssen HERE -- not so much.
Series did not last. Must have had too much competition.
I read it was replaced by Charlie's Angels. Why they couldn't just have shown both, I don't know. Money I guess.
Replaced by that bunch of rubbish Charlie's Angels. How awful
"alanstrong3295," That old saying, "assumption is the motherhood of all eff-ups," clearly comes into play here. Was NOT ratings / competition.
He was always a humble type guy .
