    Peter Billingsley being able to cry when needed for the performance is a little trick known as affective memory, which is a method acting approach. The idea is that you shouldn't act out the emotion, but that you have to feel it and let those feelings show through in your performance. Recalling and going through memories that can bring about the emotion is how you do it.

    Anyone remember that dirt bike movie he was in called The Dirt bike kid from '85?. He was also in a horror movie called Death valley in '82!.. I can remember watching all those movies when I was maybe 5yrs old and just remembered those two while typing this out lol. He's definitely a good actor that has been in plenty of tv shows and movies.

    Peter Billingsley, Shannen Doherty, and Jason Bateman ... all child actors on _which_ very well-known show? Guess without googling or scrolling down ......
    I've been watching a bunch of re-runs of the show and these were the characters they played:
    Peter Billingsley: Gideon Hale
    Shannen Doherty: Jenny Wilder
    Jason Bateman: James Cooper
    Any guesses without googling or scrolling down?
    *Why, it's ...*
    Any more guesses without googling or scrolling down?
    Here's a clue: The last name of one of the characters will probably be enough to get the answer .....
    *Little House on the Prairie!*
    I hope everybody enjoyed the comment ... please let me know if you were able to figure it out without either googling or scrolling down!

    He was so matter of fact and the interviewer didn't think it was a big deal he got his mouth washed out with soap in real life. Back then pretty much everyone hit their kids and did punishments like soap in the mouth. I had it done once and it was horrible and didn't teach me anything. Today there would be outrage and his family would get a bunch of hate for him admitting that.

      I have so much respect for this person. I do remember hanging out with him when I was very young. His slightly older brother was great as well. I had no idea about his IQ; regardless his parents were awesome people. He is far from a washed up lounge singer. I do a agree with one of the prior comments that the interviewer seems rather arrogant, which is slightly disappointing but in this case he clearly brushes everything off with charm and humility. Great work Peter!!!

      I see her being decent enough. I just think she's a bit awkward with a kid.

    • @billybassman21
      @billybassman21 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was more common back then from older adults likely because their own parents talked stern with them when they were growing up. It never bothered me.
