Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Renowned Actor, Burton Gilliam

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Burton Gilliam, is a highly popular actor who’s been immortalized for his hilarious performance as “Lyle” the railroad supervisor in the classic Mel Brooks movie, “Blazing Saddles”. We also remember him as “Floyd” the desk clerk in “Paper Moon”. And he played the Colt gun salesman in “Back to the Future Part III”. And he was “Roy Bacon” in “Honeymoon in Vegas”. 

He’s also appeared in many more great movies, and some of my favourites are “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot”, “At Long Last Love”, “Farewell my Lovely”, “Hearts of the West”, “Fletch”, “The Getaway”, “88 Hits”, “Drop Dead Sexy”, “Killing Down” and “Return to Vengeance”. On television, he played “Virgil” on “Evening Shade”, and he’s guest starred in dozens of classic TV series including “Cannon”, “The Waltons”, “Charlie’s Angels”, “Alice”, “How the West was Won”, “Soap”, “The Dukes of Hazzard”, “Knight Rider” and “Mama’s Family”, to name just a few. And he’s appeared in a number of terrific TV movies and miniseries including “Remember When”, “The Night That Panicked America”, “The Ransom of Red Chief”, “Dream West”, “North & South: Book 2”, “The Love Bug” and many more.  Before he became an actor, he was a very well-known boxer, and he served as a firefighter in Dallas for 14 years. But for over 50 years, he’s been entertaining audiences with that big smile and unforgettable personality that makes every role he plays so memorable.
