A great movie. I first saw it Guatemala in 2001 I think. Struck a chord because of the similarities between the history of the two neighbouring countries. Major Max’s real life equivalent, Roberto d’ambuisson, had a son who was murdered with two other el Salvadorean politicians while in Guatemala. They caught 4 policemen who were charged with the murder. A few days later all four policemen were murdered in their cells during a prison riot. I was there in guate when that happened and the general opinion is that they were drug trafficking. The movie still resonates with me... James woods was great.

That freaked the hell out of everyone there. She was having flashbacks in the movie theater. I thought of leaving, but her relatives took her outside. Just an amazing movie.

I've never seen that side of Platoon. The way I remember it, is that it depicted what it was like over there with a massive dose of "this is what you're getting into"

Thanks for doing the interview John C. One of my fave actors. I watch a Dr.Cox scene every month at least once.

I've always liked McGinley's acting, but I had no idea he had such a profound understanding of his art. This was an outstanding interview.

2:04 "If you can reduce the profundity of a lie in front of the lens, it experiences that as good acting." WOW ! Amazing quote.

Absolutely. You can see the love he shows when talking about the films he's made but you can see the fire in heart ignite when talking about his work with down syndrome and special needs.

Good of Rich to allow John the space and time to articulate his experiences so well....without any constant interruption or attempt at getting laugh. John C McGinley...what a damn good actor and solid human being.

Love McGinley !!! Such a great underrated actor. Most notable for his roles as Perry Cox in Scrubs, Bob Slydell in Office Space, Captain Hendrix in The Rock, Sergeant Red O'Neill in Oliver Stone's Platoon, Marv in Stone's Wall Street, and FBI agent Ben Harp in Point Break. Very smart man too.

@A D He's a wealthy man alright, and that does not solely translate into having money, it's about having so much more, money alone is not the only metric of wealth; it is but one aspect of it. True wealth is having a sense of abundance - one that we experience rather than possess. Wealth may also mean seeking deeper relationships, more personal growth, or ways to create more meaning in life and possessing the ability to enjoy the small, ordinary pleasures of our existence. ☺

@A D at least John C. doesn't use slurs. And he would have used "Your" where you used "You're". Because he isn't a troglodyte.

"If you can reduce the profundity of a lie to the lens, that translates to more genuine acting.. " McGinley. This is some genius level acting directed by a genius level director, that is why the film is one of the greatest of all time.
