'Celebrity True or False' with Alan Ruck | The Rich Eisen Show | 8/16/18

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

I miss Spin City. Very underrated sitcom that was!

[@dannyr2976]

@Tom Henesey For me, the quality went sooooo downhill once Charlie Sheen took over as the lead (partly because half the cast left due to the move of filming location to LA to accommodate Sheen). I was like 'What the hell happened?...'

[@johnkahuila4878]

That show was hilarious

[@drewholley6314]

It was not underrated. The show had a good run and an awesome cast.

[@bossfan49]

There's an entire wiki page just for its awards/nominations including 4/10 Golden Globe wins.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Yup, when Fox left it wasn't the same.@@dannyr2976

[@mjnelson4151]

I’m so glad he continued to be successful. Great actor!

[@dragon7590]

Got to meet him a few years ago while filming a pilot for a TV show that didn't get picked up. He was very down to earth and prior to the first scene he came over to introduce himself and talk the the extras. Thought that was so cool.

[@bradlafferty6076]

I’m kind of a big thing in the extra scene

[@MisterMister5893]

Cool. Csn you talk about the pilot thst did t get picked up? Do the actors as well as extras but mainly big main actors get their agreed upon rate if the show doesn’t get picked up? And how often do pilots get shot and there are no takers? Must just be sitting in a warehouse never to be seen by anyone outside of thr immediate circles, right?

[@Dave_MB]

@@MisterMister5893, actors get paid to do the pilot. They get paid a lot more if the pilot gets picked up.

[@richardwelsh9577]

I love how Ferris was like the most popular kid in school, but his best friend was a misfit. You almost get the impression that it was his only real friend.

[@SonnyGTA]

Yes!!

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Arguably the most IDIOTIC and ignorant thing I've heard in years...WTF are you smoking?

[@iveywin]

To Rich Eisen and his team - you guys do a great job! Love the show!! 👍😎

[@bradlafferty6076]

Your very welcome

[@tedlogan5628]

When you wish you were Ferris 😎but you relate more to Cameron...🤧🥺. Great acting , Mr. Ruck!

[@78bcat]

This is SO the dream career. To have consistent work (certainly making a great living), do work that is incredibly memorable...and yet nobody knows your name. You get recognized, but people can't always place you and leave you alone. You're not a "celebrity", no paparazzi, no gossip, just fun work, good money, then you go home.

[@edp3202]

Many character actors fit this bill.

[@cjpatz]

He’s a great character actor! The guy you always know his face when you see it. “That one guy form that one movie.”

[@sprsprtrudy]

One of the most underrated cameos is Alan ruck in kicking it old school when he makes the comment about the Ferrari!

[@mjm5081]

"Let my Cameron gooooo..." I'm assuming he has another interview.

[@theStacyJames]

I loved Repo Man. Great film. I'm sure barely anyone born after 1990 has ever seen it. First rate oddity of a film. Happy to hear you mention it Alan, even though you weren't in it.

[@rulinghabs]

Loved that movie.

[@DryHeaveSteve]

"The life of a repo man is always intense"

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Great film? Lol..WTF is WRONG with you?

[@mysticsofthemaya]

@@BAKER22-l4u What's wrong with you? Let me guess, you think Rocky III is tops. Lol!

[@seanhart9706]

He seems like a sweet funny and genuine guy

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

I met him and chatted for 10 minutes. He's very amicable.

[@malenotyalc]

He is an actor.

[@jaggass]

He looks like Brian Wilson who went forward in time in the 80's.

[@danielstack4158]

Yeah, a much healthier looking Brian Wilson.

[@cameron1975williams]

Aw, I was hoping they'd ask Alan about being in a scene with James T. Kirk, or working with Michael J. Fox on Spin City.

[@lpr5269]

"I'm dying." "You're not dying. You just can't think of anything good to do."

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

Hahahahaha

[@fromthehaven94]

If anyone needs a day off it's Cameron. He has a lot of things to sort out before he goes to college. Can't be wound up this tight and go to college, his roommate'll kill him!

[@saxonsteve]

29! WOW! He looked very young! Good genetics!! Seems like a nice guy.

[@chrisstephens3196]

Emilio actually turned down Bueller because he was set to do his own movie. A movie he wrote, directed and stared in “Wisdom”. Not to bad as he was just 24 at the time. “Repo Man” he had already done two years prior in 1984.

[@PreApocalypseJitters]

yeah, thanks for verifying that - I wrinkled my forehead when Alan said that, like, "Naw, that was BEFORE..." Wisdom wasn't bad, gets a lot of crap, but I liked Maximum Overdrive better.

[@jasona9]

4:19, Anthony Michael Hall passed on 'Ferris'? Thanks for the information Alan Ruck, I had never heard that before! I had heard the name Johnny Depp attached to 'Ferris' but never Anthony Michael Hall. I have to believe that Anthony Michael Hall and Emilio Estevez regret their decisions. Of course Matthew and Alan were PERFECT!

[@alromas8082]

Hall thought he was going to be in Full Metal Jacket.

[@ronaldadams3230]

Repo Man, I can tell you a story about this movie nobody would believe. In the Late 80/Early90s Repo Man was played every single night into every room of the American/British Hotel in Pakistan, across the street from Benazir Bhutto. They had a VCR at the desk connected to every room and that was the only English movie in the place, the god damn floating car almost makes the movie good.

[@jarrollin]

Stockard Channing was 33 when filming Grease.

[@jamminjohn]

Looked 43

[@jasona9]

All of the actors were too old to be in High School, but it worked. Dinah 'Marty' Manoff was the closest at age 19. She was HOT!

[@danielavazquez4788]

yeah she looked it

[@marcwharb333]

One of his best scenes in Ferris Bueller was so simple..When Ferris calls him to tell him to come over and hes in bed sick...When he hangs up,pauses,then says "I'm dying." Gold

[@trevgreg2]

The ambient music in the background was a nice touch as well, lol.

[@cityhawk]

“You're not dying, you just can't think of anything good to do.” 😂

[@bossfan49]

I wanted to know whose idea it was to have him walk around Chicago in a Redwings jersey.

[@toniigx8]

i heard john hughes made him wear it as a homage to gordie howe who he admired and loved so much because he was a detroit red wings fan

[@cityhawk]

@@toniigx8 Stan Mikita or Bobby Hull would have been a good choice. Those red Black Hawks jerseys are awesome.

[@jeffhenjes1722]

Alan Ruck, one of the captains to helm an Enterprise... NCC 1701-B

[@kamuelalee]

"No Tiger Beat magazine for me." LOL

[@vibeofthee80s_]

I've come to love this show LOL great podcast with great interviews with some of my favorite actors 3/6/23

[@erichargrove1187]

LOVED him on Spin City!! HILARIOUS!!!! 😂😂😂

[@D-Fens_1632]

I read in a book about 80's movies that Eric Stolz was originally going to be Ferris. Poor Stolz, a good actor in his own right, but that's gotta sting thinking you could have been McFly AND Ferris, perhaps the two most recognized and heralded 80's teen movie icons.

[@Friggle_Dee]

Theres actually footage of Stoltz as Marty McFly. Its terrible. Zemeckis was thrilled to get Michael J Fox after haggling with the studios. They actually filmed a good chunk with Stoltz, spent a lot of money. But Zemeckis knew the movie needed the real McFly.

[@trevgreg2]

Stoltz was asked in an interview about how he took the Back to the Future thing. He more or less confirmed that he was upset about it at the time, but was happy with the direction his career went afterward (and which he confirmed would've likely been very different had the film succeeded or failed with him).

[@DMalltheway]

Soltz did some great 80s flicks, so it’s not like he came out with nothing, still a solid career

[@robocock475]

If Ruck didn't feel comfortable playing a teenager in Ferris Bueller, I wonder how awkward he would feel French Kissing Molly Ringwald in the Breakfast Club

[@jasona9]

If he's heterosexual, I doubt he would have minded. Molly was a looker! The red hair was fake, but the lips were natural.

[@MakeMeLo]

@@jasona9 the red hair was not fake, she dyes her hair brown now. Omfg, she is a classic ass ginger with freckles all over!!!!!

[@killercaritas9442]

He’ll keep calling me He’ll keep calling me😂

[@dennisjr77]

Lol.... no tiger beat magazine for me.

[@georgehgordy1690]

CALL ME SIR, GODDAMNIT! 🤣🤣 The best 4 word comedic line in a movie EVER! With a strong argument of it being the best comedic line in a movie EVER! Whenever I'm on the phone with a company that makes a mistake but thinks I'm at fault first, but then realize it's the company that they work for is at fault and they have to walk it back ( wrong invoice or something I've ordered ) When they have to eat crow and admit blame, then start apologizing.. The first thought that pops in my head everytime is to say " CALL ME SIR, GODDAMNIT! " I'm just waiting for the wrong bad day and the right smartass to come along , and I will let that one fly..

[@kooj22]

The Con-heads are loving this interview!

[@alcoholic2412]

I was hoping he'd get asked about being the Captain of the Enterprise "B"

[@chriskay1449]

When Cameron was in Egypt's land.... Let my Cameron goooooo.

[@TubenIt83]

I always thought that Cameron was imitating Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster)! But then I didn’t know what Gene Sax sounded like.

[@lynnturman8157]

If you've ever seen Nobody's Fool with Paul Newman, he played Paul Newman's lawyer. He also directed Odd Couple with Mathau & Lemon. He was a highly respected actor/director in movies and on Broadway.

[@JOECANDELA22]

Gene Saks also acted when he played Jack Lemmon's older brother in another Neil Simon classic "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" in case your interested in seeing and hearing Gene speak. I'm sure you can find scenes right here on KZbin.

[@lynnturman8157]

@@JOECANDELA22 Forgot about that one. He was also in A Thousand Clowns with Jason Robards, I believe.

[@JOECANDELA22]

@@lynnturman8157 never heard of that one. Comedy Lynn or drama? Jason Robards was a great actor.

[@lynnturman8157]

@@JOECANDELA22I agree about Jason Robards. He's probably in my top five favorite actors ever. A Thousand Clowns was a comedy and a drama. It had a very light touch but turns serious. It's loosely based on the life of Jean Shepherd, the great humorist who wrote a Christmas Story. Gene Saks' part is pretty small. He plays a TV clown along the lines of Bozo.

[@GetsumJ]

John Hughes - Legendary

[@jaytc3218]

Ben Stein, who played the teacher in FB'sDO, was an actual teacher before he went into acting. He told the story that John Hughes talked to him about the scene where he's teaching the economics class. John Hughes told him, "Ben, just act like you're teaching an actual class. Make it really dry and really boring. You can say whatever you want but it has to actually be true in case later down the road someone looks it up. So it has to be true." I always like to hear stories like that. And Alan Ruck is pretty cool here.

[@danielking6426]

I never knew this guy existed until now. Anytime I saw him I thought it was Ed Norton.

[@8cire]

I thought Alan Ruck was doing Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Island.

[@JerryC25]

[@vinnydurham8964]

It's quite common to see high school characters played by people in their 20s

[@blue84freak]

Translation: Alan Ruck doesn't care for Brian Cox. Rich asked him how it is working with Brian Cox. Alan replied by saying the whole cast is great. Rich then had to prod him, hey, don't forget to mention Brian Cox.

[@cygnus024]

[@alvarorojas5515]

"Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age" TRUE or FALSE???

[@pts5217]

Fascinating to think of Hall and Estevez in Ferris Bueller. Probably still wouldve been great, not to the same extent.

[@jasona9]

Yeah, I like Hall and Estevez, but Matthew and Alan were the perfect team.

[@pts5217]

jasona9 Absolutely. John Hughes was on fire in the 80s and couldve made anything work, but Matthew and Alan had amazing chemistry

[@slipnorris5882]

Hughes was great, he would of gotten the best out of them
