hey folks next up on dennis miller class one great actor and a cool cat i flew cross-country with him once not saying that gives me an end knowledge but there's a good hang for 6 hours and he's funny as hell and he got it andy garcia absolutely great as benson and godfather 3 in my way i think the best thing in the movie although i enjoyed the movie more than many others course and touchable sweet plays george the just. a cracker jack actor got a new project that on a.b.c. and we will talk to him about it right after this and then a smaller plus one. hey folks welcome to dennis miller plus one got a great actor for a cademy award and golden globe nominated actor andy garcia you know of course known from godfather 3 the end touchable zee ocean's 11 franchise and he now stars

in the a.b.c. show rebel which airs thursdays at 10 pm please welcome mandy garcia how are you my friend i'm doing 'd all of that is a little brew of no complaints over here. always like is that out and yet well you get the lou wasserman answers you get the jerry depp are due next scarf on you always look good. i watched rebel because a jock john corbett the friend of mine and obviously i'm a fan of yours and katie it got out of the box pretty well tell tell the viewers about the show. the show is based on nods written by a chris of burn off who's an a.b.c. show runner for. grey's anatomy and also station 19 and this is her original show based on her inspired by the life of the brockovich katie place

a fictional character. inspired by by aaron i'm just a consumer advocate i guess who would call her and if people remember the movie that good julia roberts of steven soderbergh did an album for me and it basically follows her exploits you know i played the lawyer who she kind of works for and lures me into try her cases all the time old friends very old friends and. replace one of one of his 31 of her 3 husbands the current one and we have a great cats than that very well written and. it's. a nice gig close to home as they say. i like the fact in the 1st episode that you come in do it reluctantly because ironically the case that she's working on at that moment which involves a heart valve let's say. and it's lost i don't want to screw the pooch on the plot

the let's just say he has brought back into the fold reluctantly i thought that was a nice touch on the writer's part yes yes and it becomes a very emotional journey for him because of the yes and the discoveries that happen in that process for your new discoveries but. i do enjoy knowing at the end is that it's funny how you get older you get more pragmatic about things and obviously it's a great part and you had that big meeting emotional scene and also it as a groovy sort of fun vibe to it in certain ways but it is nice when it's down the street from to look for 3 and you don't have to schlep quite a punch and bowed out to it. yeah our on a plane or on you know it's a blue bucharest or you know which i'm not for most of my life and i'm less than a done it you know it's a blessing but sometimes. you you know those those kind of films they got

a little told. me on the backbone a little bit you know because you're traveling a lot in this case you know i have i'm still kids in town and i got a i'm a i got a baby on the way i'm going to be a grandfather so you know i'd like to at least half the year know that you're you know there's a if you say a little steady cast stream and and you know on the days off you're close to the golf course and close to the grandkids you know the kind of thing. we're talking andy garcia and i want to i want to encourage you to watch rebel it's thursdays at 10 pm on strict caste over there case a gull's on it and my friend john corbett and he plays let's say the albert finney part although there's a twist on it but hey he said if you're a member who doesn't remember your on the slash that he plays the killer her obi wan kenobi she doesn't have an actual law degree he does so it's a crucial give it a watch on thursdays you know any the other night i'm cruising through and i catch

the beginning of the godfather i missed the 1st i missed the 1st minute and i know by you i can see how important it is to you but you're in for the rest of the film there's no way they set that hawk and you can't get off it. i know any any of the godfathers and especially want to do for me because i don't know i'm not in them so you kind of those are the movies that made me almost aspired me to be an actor especially godfather one and whenever you see it on t.v. you know it's a hearing that you all got here we go again you know at that time was when i 1st started acting you know those movies changed my life so to be a part of the trilogy down the line there was. a you feel like someone's going to you the old thing about you're going to wake up one day and it was just all a dream you know but those movies you can't turn them off you know i remember i used to have a v.h.s. of godfather wanted and then later too and i would watch those v.h.s.

and if you think about how they've restored i'm going there are new technology how beautiful you can see the movies in their original photography because of the definition we have on our televisions now as poster watching among v.h.s. . it's because the beautiful images of obviously restored godfather 3 with a new you know france is that a new added on it it's called an excellent. because the godfather kota the death of michael corleone too and it's a beautiful movie very moving i saw a picture of francis the other day and he looks so happy was up at his winery slash ranch i don't know that well so i don't know what he has up there in northern california but he was standing is turned out just the sort of threads that you can see he digs he was near book shelf there was a bottom was light he had the biggest smile on his face and i thought in a way he's turned into a nice avuncular convivial godfather himself i'm very happy for him later in life.

now absolutely he has a tremendous amount of land there with all his wineries he's got a little boutique hotels all over the world you know about houses and he's walked that he started to beat the tiles and yeah he is like i mean i always thought that that francis because it not only is in the you know sublime director but he was also he has a perfect professorial sort of quality about him in terms of teaching and bring you along and taking youngsters a philosophical in his approach to filmmaking and i always thought that if there was a zeus you know like he would be like zeus in the pantheon of the gods you know that there's a lot of gods and film directors but to me i always felt that he because of his nature it was like in his characters is the meter i always saw him at you know at the top of the pantheon the no. yeah you know i think of him as like our

generation's william wyler and away you know they're great guys hoxha could put together a great movie but then there are guys who have the great look the great feel and then they had this and they know how to get a care i mean for god's sakes a kid wrote patton before he ever even got to the godfather so you obviously has its teeth down on the human condition it you absolutely know that open he see the patterns and granted he always really you know he views this that the idea of doing the godfather which is interesting you know he did it because he had the dough. well it's the best money that that taubes ever spent because just from the opening scene i saw at the wedding i was saying who better to design boutique hotels than francis ford coppola because the palette and that film and i know i work 10 an hour with the gore and it's absolutely staggering just the palette it's like a say saw him with a hand guns. no doubt about it no doubt about it it's exquisite piece of work and

i've had the great fortune of. hanging with gordon willis you know going to dailies with all my godfather 3 i'd go to dailies with them and and just watch what he was doing and ask them questions because i was always interested in not only acting but the other side of the camera and so that movie was amongst other directors i work with but specifically that movie was like a master class because i saw it come together from its inception and then into the for the staging of photography watching the dailies you know on film with gordon every day see how the movie really came together you know it was really a great experience for me. you know and when i think you and godfather 3 i can't believe a dream like that comes true from what you know when andy says to the extent that i've read what he says that it inspired and i think it really got his kitchen to be and it opened up the try acting the godfather so to end up and episode 3 to be

nominated for an oscar and then be able to take your beloved father the ceremony it's about as big a homerun as a young actor can get right. it's more than a homerun like i told you are. it's beyond degree and the g. men have a dream for me personally because it's true it's too surreal to think that that actually could happen you know and and the blessing of having to actually think of my father there which was you know for a conservative cuban man that had no association with showbusiness nobody in our family for his son to say i'm going to hollywood to become an actor it's like oh my goodness gracious we lost them you know and not that he was a supporter of my mother was supportive but you know ice parents they go that's you know what's going on here you know where he's got a family business why is he going over there kind of going in and i always joke

that i'll respond to my father who would have a conversation with my mother's day. i love my son but he's no humphrey bogart human. you know our brother turned out to be a bit of a great bogart you you're well he swore you were collar and you were action well i think about the untouchables and to me it's one of the great characterizations we'll talk to him about that we'll talk about the paul a little we'll talk about as i said the new show rebel it airs thursdays 10 pm on a.b.c. give it a tumble he plays cruz and also talk to him but directing it i think is about the parent more of a hispanic tilt a father of the bride that sounds like fun all that with our guest andy garcia right after this on dennis miller plus one.

questions earth's new question. numbers. and endless as the sun. brings all the. distance. if draw. remains in question. and an ocean of stories even the news worth knowing can overwhelm you. you can even use your way i know you want it all so let me bring you back. it's easy just. play. could you source a story about the fact that delayed maxwell will likely take others doubt i

guarantee you there's a lot more going on. in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez and protesters who are not happy this is what we're going to drill down on right here on the news rick sanchez where we really do believe it's time to do news again. this type of american is doing very well but then there's these guys over here who aren't doing so well if you drill down to look at the real numbers especially the rent numbers right it's pretty bad there's people who are not paying their rent and say they're not going to be able to pay their rent for the foreseeable future. hey folks welcome back we're talking ending garcia and i think he's a great actor man everything i see n. the ne knocks out of the park i love them is mr stone in the untouchables by the

way he's got a new show called the rebel and it's the 1st foray into network television but the pedigree on the show is unbelief. all the rest of the cast show runners got grey's anatomy bonafied so they're going to kill the show over on a.b.c. revel it airs thursdays at 10 pm give it a glimpse. i always thought that one of my favorites of palma films and listen i know he and francis humid and that hang out those guys are all hanging out at. francis is to me as you said the zeus but certain right below it hold their own thunderbolt as a guy like the paul tell me about it. well. brian was a very or organize type of director in my view you know experiencing him his movie was storyboarded when we 1st got to. to chicago we had about a week's worth of rehearsal with the principal cast and he took me into his room

and he had this movie storyboard with little stick figures and he drew himself. but he had it all kind of in his mind already mapped out and that's something that is a particular style of work with directors where things are kind of discovered as you go along with like how last b. has a completely different approach more of sort of freestyle improvisational discovery or brian was a very sort of you know designed oriented director and i think it was a perfect storm in that movie because you had these visual stylist and great filmmaker along with really will one of the best screenplays you could possibly read because the david mamet screenplay of that movie is so the story telling the narrative through line is so clean you know it's like the magnificent 7 the guy comes into town and recruits the 3 or 4 guys that he needs to run a best of good the bad guy and they're overmatched but because of the qualities of

each different person their abilities they all fill in for one another the sharpshooter gets the guy the accountant gets some on you know they take them to trial malone sets the tone and is a bravado and ness is the intelligentsia to bring all these stayed together and and sort of the humanity of it all so but that was all david mamet you know that script was really a real lesson and great storytelling so i thought was a perfect storm and then you bring in john connor into the mix and then it's all and then robert de niro as capone it's pretty hard not to combust into a great film in. what i think of that film i think in your 1st meeting with connery henri insults in a. in an ethnic way let's. get it so funny to me that he might be the bluster but you're the stone killer with the scales immediately like steps to if i remember he

had a gray sweatshirt on you're ready to do business so. they felt it was a good exchange right there. i have a funny story about that while we were rehearsing. that week before we started shaun had a clipboard in his hand with his lines so he can look out of one of those old file you know the clipboard with a metal thing in the front you know and as he was talking to me say what's your great what's your name and he would poke me with this clipboard in the center of my chest like in the movie and i was going like this guy's poking a little metal tip into my chest so finally says i said george stone he says your stone what your what's your real name and he said giuseppe better than we did the whole scene and then i knocked in the reverse i'm not the clipboard out of his hand after he had stabbed me like 10 times you know and then i put the gun to his thing

and then francis said i made out right i said oh that's great let's do that so that's how that ended up in the in the in the movie because it's so i was just poking me with that. there's a during a piece of business there and i guarantee that diploma went back to his trailer and drew a little clipboard out shot stick figure that's out meticulous stabilize it got it i done it charles martin smith where i saw him in star man recently and and now he always delivered now i haven't seen him in ages i don't even know if he still with us but he was he was a key cog in that he was a day. yes absolutely and he and he's also a wonderful director i've stood on a bunch of movies trying he was great in that part and it was such a joy to work with him you know he's such a beautiful actor in a mensch of a person and i remember one time we were in. great falls montana before doing that

sequence where we had tacked you know on the bridge of horses and all that you went out to dinner one night and he and he's some guy kind of said to him. hey aren't you. you know that guy in them or. you're frog you know there's eve because of his character i think with that american graffiti he goes what's your name what's your name for it you know you play a fraud and he says i love louis have you done and johnny just looked at him and said what movies have you seen i'll tell you from him. now that that is a great reporter most right there is his legend grows in my mind after hearing that we're talking of the great andy garcia and we've been talking a lot of all the new project little closer to home for andy but a call to show on a.b.c. you got to watch called rebel it's got katie cigar and john corbett senate some

other fine actors a lot of young people man there's a there is a 6 you talk about putting together a flow chart on a wall they must have one that because a lot of threads between a lot of different characters but it airs thursdays at 10 pm sort of like entering brockovich saying you know you work with the palmer you work with koppel i'm sure you've worked with a bunch of great directors what do you take into it and which your approach a little more stick figure a little more hal ashby or tell me your swing thought as you go into directing a film. one of the the things that i've directed i develop so it's kind of in my head visually sort of what i want to do with it or how i see things developing you know but so that's also the responsibility of a director to be you know just to have some sort of a game plan you know but i'm really open to with with the actors i want to see what the actors are doing or how they're moving what's you know what they're bringing to the table and then be able to adjust on the fly too so that dynamic but you have to

have some a game plan or else you know things don't people are looking to you know the wide eyed going what are we doing here you can go like i don't know that see what happens if you know you've got to establish some sort of idea but you see by the time you start shooting their authority you have you've scouted you know you've gone through. a period of working with your d.p. and your designers and all that so things are kind of set up for them the actors to play within that environment which is also an important element for me is to to give the actors the freedom to try something you know like hal ashby used to say think about how was he never pass judgment on what you did and used in that movie i did with jeff bridges and him a 1000000 ways to die there was no script really so it's a lot of improvisation so you're flying by the seat you're passing every take and how we just come in and go oh is interesting we got that try something else. but he never put it in you never try to put it like negativity into it like that doesn't

work because once you say that doesn't work we as actors you start editing in your head oh what does work and what do i need to do to make it work and as opposed to just being free and present with your fellow actor take care of the objective of the scene and let's figure it out you you need europe you have your objective and i have mine and let's see what happens so i'm a bit of that 5 also how i kind of i work that way as an actor so i kind of will respect that with other actors you know. you know and it's such a ball or a ball process not that i'm a great practitioner but i've done a half dozen films i i've always found it so frightening in a way everybody is on a bit of a confidence game it can go in stammer owen stumble an inadvertent people's gaze but you are to me it why not always a firm it's like a great improv coach tell close call he said chicago we're in an improv always

affirm let's move it down the road see where it go and so that's got to be a big quite exactly any time you're doing something absolutely absolutely you know the 1st movement proposition news never deny and always say adds you know add to the situation or you know it's like if you watch you know carl reiner no gross in the 2000 year old that and apparently when that's not it off just said so you were born when you you know he just live 2000 b.c. i mean he just went off on that and is already famous bieber you might remember all there was not jesus god what a character no and he just went off on an eating that rode in the boot before you know they were talking about one side of the war you know and that's it and that's just that's. that's the spirit of it you know it's a it's a building block you know so let's let's see what version of the scene is about is

the most interesting version but it takes a good record to want to work that way at the end of the day. i see we've got a 3rd reboot of a classic spencer tracy killed it knocked it out of the park and then steven marty came and did a very funny tire not it i love this idea though and it explained the twist that will be on the father of the bride i guess it will be you know cuban american low on it. yeah it's a cuban american family. and i play the father. and my daughter is married into a mexican family from mexico and they're coming into town the family is the 3rd richest family in mexico so they're coming into town too and we meet for the 1st time i went meet the group for the 1st time and i meet the family for the 1st time and it's about those 2 cultures coming together and finding common ground eventually you know. i think that you

have to somewhere i don't know who the actor would be for it but the wedding planner guy soucie i think you know we've been talking about casting to some degree how important this that's a key for all after the father and a daughter you're going to find that wedding flatter. you know in our movie is not it's not money short of the obvious you know we love money sure to do it but because he's a sublime but it's a it's are in this case it's or it's a woman and. we process of casting and we have a lot that down yet but she's part of that history right handy there is it as i said. oscar nominated golden globe nominated you've seen him in great films the ocean's 11 franchise too and he has a new project that i highly encourage you to give it some one personally invest bested in this as my one of my dearest friends is john corbett and he's at it

although i can't quite figure andy how they're keeping a minute because it seemed pretty bleak at the end of the 1st episode but i'll hang in there and see how they bring him back into the fold but it looked a little tricky there at the end that was and andy plays you'll be the erin brockovich character names rebel katie seagal he place her actual legal partner it's on a.b.c. thursdays at 10 pm assure me that john's going to be in it for a while he won't tell me. it will be hanging around wreaking havoc now that their ego all right so it does take a twist it's good visit you went brother which are handicapped now what do you plan to andy my handicap is not i think not really played to it often but every so often i get lucky and i sneak you know round he just kind of hands around there you know but please when you come to him i know you live up north a little bit but if you come into
