A massive talent. Brilliant comedic mind. Fought his own demons his entire life.

One of the great comedic talents in one of the greatest comedies of all time.
In another earlier interview, he states he had just come out of a mental hospital when Stanley Cramer called him to ask him to be in "Mad World" playing Pike the truck driver. He wasn't sure he was up to that just yet. His wife urged him to take the role. He said working on that movie and being with all of those fun people was the best therapy ever. It changed his life essentially and he and Cramer became good friends.

4:15 He cuts off Winters to talk about the Three Stooges. Very rude.

Winters is fascinating when he tells stories but this interviewer is terrible.
