Harvey Brownstone Interview with John Rubinstein, Iconic Stage, Movie & TV Star

[@sharonf106]

I have been a fan for ages. The first thing I remember seeing him in was the Elvis movie, "The Trouble with Girls" where he played "Princeton." His version of "The Gift of the Magi" remains my favorite. And, let's not forget, "Crazy Like a Fox." I've always thought he is so underrated, but now understand it's allowed him to follow so many other avenues. He's so talented! I loved this interview. Thank you so much for highlighting this amazing man.

Family was one of my favorite shows it really broke my heart when it went off the air and always hoped to see a reunion of some sort. 😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

I loved it too. They don’t make shows like that anymore

Another wonderful interview -especially good at picking-out interesting details from John Rubinstein’s expansive career & elucidating little known and fascinating particulars of his life.❤😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

That’s my trademark. Thanks for noticing!

What great interview. I remember John Rubinstein as Jeff on Family way back when. Also, saw him in Ragtime about 25 years ago.

@harveybrownstone - I am and have been, like you, a fan of John Rubinsteins for years. I've been very lucky that I've been able to correspond with him a few times, and he's always very gracious by answering my letters. I am thrilled that you were able to interview him. What a treat! As I said to you once in an email, it's great that you are interviewing so many people that are often not interviewed, especially the great character actors like John Rubinstein. We, the audience, are lucky that you decided to do this as a second career. I, for one, am glad you did. 😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Michael what a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much! I am so lucky and grateful that somehow, through the miracle of the internet, I was able to attract exactly the audience I wanted. People who appreciate in-depth well-researched interviews. I have the most loyal and supportive viewers in the world!! I appreciate you so much. 🙏❤️

Loved "Crazy Like a Fox". John and Jack Warden had great comic chemistry on that show. John came across as a very bright, genuine and thoughtful guy. That Jack Web story was very funny. I've heard other actors interviewed who'd done that show and when asked about their Dragnet experience have said much the same thing about it being unpleasant, remarking on Jack's gruffness in directing and demanding the lines be spoken in that 'just gimme the facts" automaton like monotone that show was known for. Seems it's very hard for some actors not to act, even painful for some not to give their dialogue at least some emotion. Like giving a juggler a job on stage, but without anything to juggle. So he isn't a juggler anymore, just a guy standing there with nothing to do. Which is my sense of what John and some of those other actors must have felt when being instructed not to do what they thought they'd been hired to do, and what they were trained for. Very entertaining interview. Thanks for it.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

John is a consummate professional. A true actor’s actor.

[@christopherramon-reid2000]

I used to have a crush on him 😊

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Used to? I still do!!!

[@adamodeo9320]

thank you for the information about Eisenhower - he's right up there with Lincoln Regan and Trump - good thing John did not have to play FDR who sent Jews back to Europe and to their death.
