In this continuation of the first interview I did with Tim Matheson, he Tim recounts working and learning from legends like Henry Fonda, Jackie Gleason, and Bob Hope, and shares memorable moments playing ping pong with Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds ON Divorce American Style. He discusses taking control of his career, an altercation with Michael Landon on Bonanza as he becomes a regular cast member, and his odd experience with David Soul and and then dating David's ex-wife and working with Clint Eastwood on Magnum Force. Tim reflects on his experiences meeting Chris Farley as well as his impactful role as the VP on The West Wing. And again, go buy Tim's new book he just released, it is fantastic - Damn Glad to Meet You: My Seven Decades in the Hollywood Trenches, I loved it!
