When you think about it, everybody wants to actors and you think, and I knew that, I thought, what can happen, I don’t know, here goes nothing...but I thought, my hearts in it. I gotta try. And the first, that’s right..I studied at the neighborhood playhouse and then the first thing I auditioned for I got Regis What was it? Jeff Two Gents, I didn’t even audition for this thing They said do you have any tall people at this school that I was going to Regis oh that’s how he got in Joy that’s the one requirement Jeff That’s right, and they were already in production and it became a big hit, Two Gents, it was a musical version of Two Gentlemen of Verona and it became a hit, big production and everyone had to sing and dance to get in and I, there was already..., and they hadn’t even written the show and I went down and met the director and he goes ok, good you’re tall...and that was it. And then it developed into part and dadadada. You know Regis Oh my gosh, that’s fabulous! And his first movie Jeff This is funny Regis Remember Death wish? Charlie Bronson chasing those punks all over New York City because they violated his wife? Joy These guys were so menacing, I can’t believe that was Jeff Regis He was freak number 1. And here he is in his little beanie. (shows photo, everyone laughs) Jeff Do I look much different now? Regis No. I do miss the beanie though. But Charlie got you. Didn’t he or did he? Jeff No, he never got us. Regis He never got you? We’ll be right back. (Commercial break, when they come back, Jeff and the hosts are in the middle of a conversation) Jeff Yes, that was the last time we saw each other, at Larry Shandling’s birthday dinner. Joy Yes, it was his birthday Jeff Do you remember I gave him a gift that was very provocative, that my sister made, do you remember that? Regis Yes, the doll. Jeff You remember, it frightened you a little bit Regis It was a doll Joy an anatomical........ Regis lets not go into that JoyAnd Regis gave Gary his tie Regis No, Gary took my tie off. He reached up and said this is my birthday present, it was a wonderful tie, it was my favorite tie, and I gave it to him.... Joy it was my suggestion Jeff you are like the king, like Elvis, in that way. He did the same thing. (does and Elvis impersonation)Here darling, here you go take my ring. You’re the same way, generous in the same way. Regis and then he said Vive Los Vegas. Ok, now here you are, freak number 1, and you’re doing this to Charlie Bronson’s wife.. Jeff the lovely Hope Lang Regis Hope Lang, sure...but, I thought Charlie got you at the end of movie Jeff no Regis he never caught up with you? Jeff no Regis He caught up with every other freak in town I’ll tell you that Jeff I know. You’re still mad about it, look at...(crowd laughs) look at you Regis Now, this must have been a big deal, this is your first movie Jeff first movie with Charlie Bronson, yes Joy How did you get into this? It doesn’t seem like you? Regis Did they see you on Broadway? Jeff It doesn’t seem like me now that you know me I’m not... Joy you’re not the rapist type Jeff I know, I had just gotten into school and I was dying to act and I thought ohh, this is great, I get to be very different and dadadada and I went and we all auditioned and we auditioned in threes, in groups of three and every other awful guy and scary guy was there kind of pumping himself up in the thing and I went and it got chiseled down to me and I got the part and then like I was telling you in the thing earlier the thing when I went, nobody knew me as an actor before that, and I went to the set and I thought they should think that I’m the real guy, even the people making the movie, even the crew and stuff, so I went, talk about not shaving, I didn’t shower like I said for like a week or something (audience ewww)
Jeff So I learned...If I wanted to learn from acting, I started to learn. I thought artfulness is artfulness and you don’t have to stink. Regis You were just getting into character Jeff I was Regis Did you met Charlie Bronson? Jeff Yes, Charlie Bronson is great, yeah, ohh Joy I loved Jeff ones line in Annie Hall, when you’re on the phone and you say "I’ve forgotten my mantra". Do you remember that? Jeff Yes, that’s a funny line, yeah, yeah, Woody Allen movie, yeah Regis You’ve had a great career, you really have Jeff Thank goodness Regis in some of the biggest movies ever made, the dinosaur movie, that was a giant, because of you, because of you (points at Jeff) Jeff I wouldn’t (Regis continues) Bless you Regis You made it happen baby!
