I’ve always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans – the original Americans.
Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that’s not the only place my friends come from.
Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.
My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other’s houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I’ve been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
And when I’ve been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
First of all my real full name is Lloyd Vernet Bridges III.
I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.
I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.
I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.
The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.
On the other side, if Im playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. Thats what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.
We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.
Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.
I’ve done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl’s father. It’s a half-hour comedy. And I’ll be doing some more of those. I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don’t Fade Away.
I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they’ve mentioned to me before that they’d like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report. I know Amanda Tapping is a regular now on the show. But I have no plans to do that as we speak. But I don’t know.
Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
I wish I didn’t have any flaws! I think everybody is flawed.
But when I’m done with the job I can take it off pretty easy, it’s like a suit of clothes, put on something else.
