What were the SECRETS of MACON COUNTY LINE & FAST CHARLIE? Find out from actor Jesse Vint. EXCLUSIVE

[@rosemarydickerson4]

Thank you, Rob for these great interviews.

Man that's a cool interview Rob. When this film was released, August 8th, 1974, I can remember my older siblings scrambling to see it. They would have been in there mid to late teens, while I was only 7 y/o and wouldn't be 8 until Nov. of 1974. The commentary around our neighborhood by the older kids in our mid-west state was one of SHOCK at the former "Jethro" now being a vengeful law officer in this movie.

My Sunday morning fun time. Thanks, Rob, for bringing us interesting people with lots of interesting stories.

I don't think I ever watched that movie. Mostly because in those years I was out of pocket, off the grid. No theaters or even TV . I remember hearing about it. I know Mr Vint's face very well, even his voice, but I don't think I ever knew his name. I am glad I do now. There are so many actors that we get to know as characters, but not their names. Thanks for the introduction Rob. He is a great interview.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Crow. Jesse sure is a handful!

Saw Macon County Line at the Geronimo (now defunct) drive-in just outside of Ft. Huachuca Arizona...in a lowered '49 Merc...those were the days!

[@AWordonWesterns]

The perfect place to view it!

******* JESSE VINT was one of the stars of my favorite film and the reason I became a screenwriter and commercial director. The film was the 1971 classice, SILENT RUNNING (Bruce Dern, Cliff Potts, Jesse Vint and Ron Rifkin). In the mid-80's I got to work for the film's director, the esteemed DOUGLAS TRUMBULL at his ShowScan studio. I've always had a sentimental spot since seeing Mr. Vint in anything. D.A. ps: SIDE NOTE: Oddly enough, I would find out my office for a film distribution company that came and went in Hollywood in the mid-80's -- an old 20's New England style 2 story house on North Seward was also previously the production office for Silent Running. Sometimes your dreams come true. pps: Not that it matters, and I have since forgiven him in my own way, but I once had a close encounter with David Carradine, alas, drunk & belligerent, in Las Vegas at the ShoWest Convention. After reading his 'KILL BILL DIARY' -- and he admitted to his battles with the booze and other drugs and was now clean ... I forgave him. Booze does the damnedest things to one's demeanor. Go figure.

Interesting fact about Macon County Line: It held the record for least spent/most grossed until Blair Witch Project came along. Thanks for another informative AND entertaining interview, Rob. Big thumbs up.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Tab.

The ROI was huge. % wise was monstrous. Up there with BWP and American Graffiti.

Thanks, will do!

[@bobmac2610]

Way to go Rob! Amazing how you find these interesting people with their great stories, and then, make them feel so comfortable opening up to you! Always enjoy Sunday mornings, and your channel is one of the big reasons. Thank you.

[@sue7777]

Hey Bob-I couldn't have shared my thoughts any better than you did about WOW. Thanks!

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Bob. You, too, Sue!

[@jcmurph4]

Looked like L. Q. Jones in one of the Carradine pictures. Another excellent interview. Thank you for remembering all of these great character actors.

[@AWordonWesterns]

LQ worked with David C in LONE WOLF McQUADE

[@jcmurph4]

@@AWordonWesterns That's right. I'd forgotten that one. His classic line 'loose lips sink ships' to William Sanderson. Keep up your good work. These interviews are excellent. Thank you for them.

[@erikramaekers63]

Great interview.I first saw Jesse Vint in Silent Running,he was one of the astronauts

[@jerryknorr679]

That was a good movie remember watch it on a sunday afternoon instead of going out side to play with friends. If there was a way to be a kid again just knowing all these movies that l didn't see and watch. Thank you

[@waynevia6976]

A great episode. I love macon county line that ending i never i saw that coming. Sundays are great because of your show rob. Have a great weekend rob.

[@jimross7648]

I remember seeing Macon County line in a theater when it first came out and really liking the characters and performances. The movie just struck a cord with me at the time. I recognize Jessie's face from movies and TV, but couldn't put a role or character that he played. Tells a great behind the scene tale though.

[@davepalmerton2429]

Jesse appears to be the type of guy you would love to sit down and have a beer with, a great story teller.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Yes, dave, he definitely is!

[@richardsauer7494]

My only complaint about Rob's interviews: not long enough. But what's there is damn good. Has anyone ever discussed "The Wild Wild West" on A Word on Westerns?

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Richard. Before the Coronavirus shut us down, we were planning to have Lana Wood as a guest to discuss her westerns, including WILD, WILD WEST. When we start up again, I hope to have her.

[@jimmiehahn4560]

Very interesting! As always, you never disappoint 🙂

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thank you, Jimmie! Cheers!

[@waynehall6273]

We lived in Macon County, Ga for a number of years.

[@christhompson3750]

Both Jesse and Alan were in the "Centennial" mini series back in the late 70s.

[@tectorgorch8698]

Carradine's book is a great read.

[@Squank63]

Excellent interview as always, Rob! Jesse Vint tells some great stories. Sure hope I get to see you on the road this year.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Squank. Me, too.

[@patrickfennell6372]

Sadly Max never really made it big in Hollywood. Macon County was a great movie. Saw it when it first came out. As always an interesting interview.

[@richardbennett6237]

... Good Interview, interesting stories, thanks for this ... !

[@AWordonWesterns]

Glad you enjoyed it, Richard. Thanks.

[@garymckee8857]

I thought Macon County Line wasn't a bad movie. I just saw it for the first time about one year ago. Thanks Rob.

[@hiramnoone]

Jesse always tells great stories. Very interesting guy. Would like to know how he got to keep that hat from "Little Big Man" though. I sure hope the studio didn't rent it. Reminds me of the guy whose favorite uncle died, and wanting to send him off in style was still getting a bill every month twenty years later, having buried him in a rented tux.

[@GLarryB]

Wow, what an interesting guy... looks like a lot of fun to hang around with.

[@Madmanmarque]

Sharp as a tack!

[@NormanLedoyen]

Another interesting interview Rob. Love it.
