    That’s pretty interesting how they both weren’t interested in acting until they saw what the money would be like compared to real life. Kurt is awesome, and him and Michael Douglas are two of my favorite ’80s and ’90s actors.

    I’d give anything to see Kurt and John Carpenter make another movie together. I don’t even care what it is. Some producer needs to just give them money and let them make whatever they want.

    Kurt Russel was a pitcher at Thousand Oaks High School while he was starting to get Disney roles as an actor. One time he was helicoptered onto the field for a playoff game. What an entrance.

    Great interview skills from Conan, keeping both equally engaged like the pro he is. What an easy laugh Kurt is, seems to be fun to have around. How easy it seems to get into showbusiness for nepobabies; that being said, he really turned out to be a pretty good actor.
