Listen "Mick Martin on John Mitchum and other character actors"
Episode Synopsis
TVC 699.2: From May 2015: Blues artist, radio host, and film historian Mick Martin and Ed discuss why John Mitchum, the younger brother of Robert Mitchum, was something of a “Hard Luck Harry” until his memorable role opposite Clint Eastwood in the original Dirty Harry. Other topics this segment include a look at such other notable character actors as Andrew Robinson, Richard Farnsworth, and Wilford Brimley; why Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are really “character actors” at heart; and why Lonesome Dove remains one of Mick’s favorite movies. Mick Martin passed away on Sunday, July 13 at age seventy-six.
