We've all got it (an interview) coming...
Of all the posts I’ve written, few have generated a better response than my interviews with:
- Teen Wolf
- John Matrix from Commando
- Chong Li from Bloodsport
Once I noticed the trend, I squinted my reptilian eyes and thought: Hmm…time to make another non-fortune.
Not getting rich is in fact what I am best at. And this time, I’m not going to get rich by releasing a book of interviews, which will come out this fall. I’ve already booked Dalton from Roadhouse, John Mclane from Die Hard, Bill Munny from Unforgiven, and I’m considering Gizmo, but only because I want to ask him what he thought of Billy Peltzer’s hair.
Who am I missing?

Hey Josh,
Quint from Jaws.
If he’s not available, perhaps Hellboy or Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber.
Conor
Holy crap, I never would have thought of Quint. Bravo, Conor!
Dr. Emmett Brown. I really want to know more about Mr. Fusion, and if he had it to do over again, would he have chosen a Delorean.
Check.
Neo from the Matrix movies
Okay, but I may not be able to get into Neo from Part 3.
A reunion interview with the cast of Saved by the Bell. Ahh, memories of Kelly Kapowski
Kelly…yes…good memories.
Josh,
Where are the women?
You tell me, Avil. Give me some! (please)
Hmmmm – are you leaning towards big, muscle-y bad guys? How about Dracula – or, going female, the Alien from, uh, Alien. If badass but not necessarily bad, how about Ripley (simultaneous with the alien?) or Xena, Warrior princess. How about your mother (and I mean that in a nice way).
I’m leaning towards anyone who deserves it, whether as a reward or a punishment. I’m a big fan of Ripley. She could boss me around anytime. My mom is not imaginary, although she is legendary.
Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lambs.
Now there are some possibilities there….
Chunk from The Goonies.
Alex Rogan from The Last Starfighter
Darth Vader and/or Yoda (Yoda would be a hoot!)
Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit
Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard
Avil mentioned women, how about…
Baby from Dirty Dancing
Princess Leia
Ellen Ripley from Aliens
Sarah Conner from Terminator
Nobody puts baby in the corner. I have that entire movie memorized. It was always on in our house. The soundtrack was always in the stereo.
Not sure why no one has mentioned him, but man, I would really love to see you interview Chuck Norris. Perhaps too cliche? Perhaps too mainstream, but it would be a great interview…
It would also be cool to see interviews with Mr. Miyagi, Pony Boy from the Outsiders and the best would be John Bender from the Breakfast Club…or maybe an interview with the full group from the Breakfast Club… especially the principal: “You mess with the bull!…”
Kirk, after each interview I’ve done, I get emails asking for Chuck. I’ll have to come up with something outside of the current Chuckosphere, but one of his roles is certainly going to be in here.
Pavel? (the DuCane version)
I thought you’d show up, Randy:)
Mickey O’Neill from Snatch
YES.
Lara Croft
Cobra Commander
Fred (from Scooby Doo)
Capt Kirk…I’m sure I’ll think of more.
I’m sure you will.
Interesting how everyone has picked TV or movie characters, and no literary ones.
So, I will. Doc from Cannery Row. D’Artagnan from The Three Musketeers. The Count of Monte Cristo. Dr. Frankenstein.
They’re probably just following my lead. Thank you for realizing that Frankenstein is the doctor and not the monstor.
Ron Burgundy, Buddy Lee, Steve Zissou, and Slim Goodbody.
Buddy Lee…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it.
No one mentioned Beatrix Kiddo of Kill Bill fame? (Or even better, the Australian stunt chick from Death Proof).
Or Dr. Strangelove?
Ellen, when I was a sophomore in college, I went to a screening of Dr. Strangelove in a pith helmet that said “Death to commies” on it. I thought I was pretty edgy:)
If this post produces nothing besides the Dr. Strangelove prompt, it will have been worth it. Awesome.

Bill, I don’t know if I can handle talking to him again.

I’m belated on this one, but…
Max Fischer from Rushmore.
Or a Muppet. Like the guy who could imitate a telephone on Sesame Street or the critical guys in the balcony who always trashed Fozzie’s jokes.
