Mike Rich was a great radio newsman in Portland, first at KGW-AM, and then at KINK-FM he and Les Sarnoff were the top-rated morning drive radio team. Little did we know, cause he kept it to himself, that Mike was cranking away at his keyboard crafting movie screenplays. In 1998 his script for “Finding Forrester,” won a national award, was swept up by Hollywood producers, and landed the great Sean Connery to play the lead. I was one of the friends Mike invited to the Portland premier, and we cheered like proud parents when his name appeared in the opening credits. Mike was on his way-- then came “The Rookie,” “Radio,” “Miracle,” “Secretariat,” and most recently “Cars 3.” Hear about the “Good Old Days” of Portland radio, how he got the inspiration for “Finding Forrester,” and how Mike navigates the industry of Hollywood from his home outside Portland.
