My first early teen crush!!!I was so sad when Thaao Penghlis mentioned in an interview that Tony had confided to him that he was HIV poitive....He would have been 68 years old today...He surely had more to offer! Rip Antony!!!
I knew Tony. He was a charmer on screen and off. He was going to be James Bond but then the suits said he used his hands too much when he talked. RIP Bellissimo.
It's nothing short of bone-chilling to hear the interviewer refer to "the untimely death of Jon-Erik Hexum", when she's talking to someone who -- unknown to anyone at the time, of course -- was ultimately going to die an equally tragic and untimely death. All I could think of was that infamous piece of film, showing John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday party at Madison Square Garden in 1962, where the star attraction comes running up on stage, a few minutes behind schedule, leading the emcee to boom out: "Mr. President, the late Marilyn Monroe". Within four months, Monroe was gone; fifteen months after that, so was Kennedy. The old joke will always be true: "If you want to get a good belly laugh out of God, tell Him your plans."
I was in the hospital getting surgery when Hexum died and was at home with the flu when I learned of Hamilton's death...so I always felt kind of a strange connection to them.
He was Wonderful in Cover UP. It was very hard for him to replace the late Jon-Erik Hexum. I Loved Cover Up. The network shouldn't have canceled it. RIP
Unfortunately the show’s rating sank after the passing of Jon- Erik Hexum, so that’s why it got canceled. Anthony Hamilton was a handsome hunk in his own right but Jon-Erik Hexum had that special charisma that attracted people in addition to his good looks. It was a bit unfair for Anthony Hamilton as he had a big shoe to fill when everyone was comparing him to Hexum at the time. In any case, it is sad to see that both actors were gone too soon. RIP.
Would have to change opening sequence if was to 88 or so, would,ve been dated? Though, dunno Miami Vice had same opening sequence throughout, so maybe been okay here too?
Thank you for this tribute.Anthony was my favorite actor in my high school years.He was very good at what he did, if he had the necessary support, he would be with us today.He would have been the best James Bond.I heard it in an interview, a man who emanated kindness through his words, he was an authentic and honest man. His life mission was another. I would have loved to meet him.He will always be in the memories of my heart.❤
True that. He had that sexy manly man look, a classically handsome man with an amazingly chiseled physique and a suave narrative styled voice. I recall him in Cover Up and Howling 4. Ironically, he'd replaced his former Manhattan roommate in the former series, the late Jon-Erik Hexum. They both were incredible specimens of manhood who respectively passed way too early in life. R.I.P. Jon-Erik Hexum and Antony Hamilton
Almost became James Bond and was about to beat Timothy Dalton for the 1987 James Bond because Roger Moore just retired after making View to a Kill. He tested for the Role. But Rumors about him being gay made the producers to pick Dalton Instead. Remember was 1987. Kind delicate situation to have a gay Bond back then. Who doesn't remember Bob Paris who lost Mister Olympia in 1989 after coming out of the closet.
@@gforceeatingcorrect How you knew him please? Also, Dalton, when young, was offered bond, but turned it down, saying bond should be older. It went to Lazenby. Brosnan got the role, but had to turn it down when his tv show REMINGTON STEELE got another series, so that's how dalton got the role!
his accent threw me cause he sounds English but with hint of australian & mid atlantic tone also. So no surprise he was born in England but grew up in australia & then moved to america. So it all makes sense.
I liked him in Mission Impossible as Max Harte.I've always wanted to see him in an interview!but he also died young!42!i was disappointed when i learnt he was Gay!but he was a good actor anyway!
@Riastrad Honey, I know its hard. but don't ever talk about yourself like that. If you don't love you, no one else will. It sounds like you have alot issues. PLus you sound as if you speak from experience.
He was proposed for play 007, but they deleted his name from their list when they knew about his sexual life. This was his privacy. Such hipocresy in Hollywood. I saw Tony job in Samson and Delilah and was great
She was a great interviewer, great instincts on what to ask him, and what a beautiful man, absolutely stunning, and you can see he was also intelligent and a nice guy, and that voice wow. So sad that AIDS took him away from us, he deserved to be a huge star, even if he was ultimately judged for his sexuality instead of his talent. I'll always remember him fondly, R.I.P. Tony, one of the sexiest men that ever lived, hands down
I just learned about him today. He's so gorgeous and Australian. It's too bad he died the way he did. I'm also a fan of the James Bond films. Though I like Timothy Dalton, it made me kind of sick to find out that he was turned down for the part because he was gay. Really?! People spent years covering for Rock Hudson, what the hell?! I didn't seem that he was actively trying to hide his sexuality so, good for him. America was f*cked-up in the eighties when it came to AIDS. I'd like to give Ronald Reagan partial credit for that. God, it's sickening!
One of my favorite actors. He had that unique old Hollywood acting style accompanied by that baritone Aussie/English voice. As a teenager he inspired me to take up fitness with his rugged physique. Feel he would have made a great Bond. I find it truly sad that in 1985 he was a star and by 1995 he had passed on. Wish I could have met him.
I met Tony at the gym in LA and we became very good friends at the time I was dating someone and we all hung around the gym talking… He was an amazing man not only gorgeous but very funny and very humble. We did a lot of things together. I miss him so much and I am devastated. I hope you rest in peace a beautiful soul.😊
well he's English born but raised in australia. Kinda like Olivia newton john. His accent is more English cause he doesnt have that aussie twang. just a hint of it. Unlike Olivia who went full twang.

Where can I find this interview with Thaao Penghlis?
Still looking for this interview, but can't find it
@@Rangerprovidence Unfortunately you can't cause it was broadcasted by a Greek channel that no longer exists.

Actually it was the fact that he was gay.
Please post positive proof pronto
Pics pleasantly preferred
It's great that you met him. A man who, in addition to being talented, emanated honesty and great kindness.

Such a male beauty destroyed by HIV... It is so sad.
He looks like dolph lundgren
True!Ive always have the same thought !He had some style!

Eeer no. BROSNAN was supposed to replace Moore. Hamilton has no Bond material.
Dalton was connected to the producers. Hamilton was never in the running.
Those weren't rumors. Bond was a ladies man. Bond producers felt Hamilton's open homosexuality would hinder the public buying him as Bond
You are absolutely right... I knew Tony he had mentioned it !

English but raised in Australia.
@@rodinowright6591 I literally say that in my post
Cheio de beleza e talento morreu muito jovem ele e o Hexun.
This interviewer is so weird. I feel so uncomfortable with the way she asks her questions and her body language towards the guest.
I agree with you. For me it meant a great lack of respect for Anthony Hamilton.
That is to close to sit. I would have pushed my chair back. I do not like for people to sit close enough that their knees can touch my legs.
It depends on who is sitting next to me. If it is someone that is as handsome as he is, then he can sit as close to me as he wants😂
I love you tony hamilkton
Agent Jack Striker/Max Harte
Saint Marks, anyone remember who he always came in with... blond, shorter, younger, also hot body....they were always together.
❤❤❤
...Bond...James Bond...
I liked him on Cover Up better than Hexum.
I liked him in Mission Impossible as Max Harte.I've always wanted to see him in an interview!but he also died young!42!i was disappointed when i learnt he was Gay!but he was a good actor anyway!
I was disappointed too. But he doesn't look gay so I can pass on it and still watch the show.
@@Big-guy1981 What does Gay look like? Check out Bret Jones Ex-Navy seal who is not only gay but happily married and raising his son.

@Riastrad is that a self descipition ?
What an atractive, kind and fine man he was...AIDS took so many voices that we desperately need now...
I love this guy. He was a very good actor in Mission Impossible. The episode where he is on the Sydney Harbor Bridge is amazing.
Yeah. I just watched that episode today. Love that show. So sad he is no longer with us.
Saw that too

What about the town Sodom?
ANTONY HAMILTON was suppose to be the first blond JAMES BOND and would have been perfect for the role.
Dans une autre vie ça va lui être permis...
( MM)
The director didn’t want him because he was gay
An American Bond. Eeer no
I'm ok with that.
@@Big-guy1981 Hamilton wasn't American - he was Australian. As was George Lazenby who played Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
me gustaba ver Misión Imposible únicamente por verlo actuar 🥺 mi amor bello descansa en paz 🙏

Im agree with you a great voice. A great Bond.
I met him in class at Stella
Adler West. He was such a gentleman. A lovely human being who did not deserve to be taken so young,
I love you forever, rest in peace dear Tony

Is he Australian? Why is the number one export from Australia to America pretty boys?
well he's English born but raised in australia. Kinda like Olivia newton john. His accent is more English cause he doesnt have that aussie twang. just a hint of it. Unlike Olivia who went full twang.
