Thank you for that. One of my fondest memories was with my father. Sitting in the theater. Watching The Cowboys. I saw my daddy cry for the first time. My father was a tough man. I learned so much about my father and me. Watching that movie.
A Martinez would be someone I would be awestruck if I saw him in a hardware store. I'd probably scare him by yelling, "Good Lord!". He has always been one of my favorites. What he did on "Longmire" was amazing.
Wonderful interview A Martinez, not only a super actor but so well spoken and kindhearted toward his fellow actors. A truly gifted man in more ways than one. I always enjoyed seeing him here and there in the movies and still love to re-watch them. Enjoyed this one so much.
"All right. We've seen what you can do with a boy. How are you when they come a little bigger?" One of the Duke's best lines ever. As a kid watching this movie for the first time I leapt up and cheered when he said that. John Wayne became my role model and to this day, I can't abide or tolerate a bully, I won't raise my hand to a woman and I won't be insulted without responding. Thanks, Duke.....you're still my hero.
I've always had an irrational dislike of Bruce Dern. I'm guessing it dates back to "The Cowboys" which I saw at age 7. Dern does an amazing job of playing those smarmy evil characters, acting a bully when they can, and then like Eddie Haskell in front of authority.
@@MrVvulf: Yes. I liked his "bad" roles, though, seeing what skill he put into the little things that tip one off to his inner turmoil. Dern calls those tweaks "Dernsies," though I think one of his directors made up the term. Even as a good guy, he commanded our attention (e.g "Silent Running"). And when he played the blimp captain in "Black Sunday." Nowadays I look for his roles as an aged bad guy, such as in "Big Love."
I wasn't planning on watching the whole interview right now, when I clicked on it, but wow, that was a fantastic interview, and flew by. I'm a big "Longmire" fan, and he was so damn good as Jacob Nighthorse, especially in the later seasons when his character became much more complex. Great interview.
Just watched the cowboys yesterday!! Fantastic movie. I can watch it over and over again. I love watching Martinez, he tries to be real tough in this movie but you can tell he has a heart
Rob, this is the type of person that I love to listen to. His opinion on other actors are so in depth and enlightening and your skills interviewing are perfect to allow this to happen. Thank you so much
That was outstanding by both of you. Couple things stood out, his mention about the “wisdom of a pension” shows he is grounded. Your comment about being gobsmacked by how gorgeous Angie Dickinson was and then blurting it out was hilarious and a very unassuming grounded comment as well. I enjoyed this very much.
Unbelievable interview! This is the best one yet! Mr. Martinez, what great stories you brought to us! Giving and taking at the proper time! You're a Diamond surrounded by a Gold leaf! In the past I didn't know the actors/actress's names I just enjoyed the movie. Mr. Martinez you've brought me to a new level of enjoyment! Thank you for this video Rob! You've taken "A Word on Westerns" to a new level!
Damn, this was a great episode. A Martinez tells his recollections with a humility and clarity that is just astounding. He as an actor has always been a compelling screen presence, and I've enjoyed his previous appearances on this series.Together you and him talk and delve in the heart of the story. Your greatest skill as an interviewer, is that you don't actually interview. You probe, lead and question in a way that brings out the best of your guests. A Martinez is the perfect individual to respond to you. He is self deprecating about his own involvement in many great productions, while describing the actors, directors, and producers he worked with and for. This was en extremely enjoyable, an informative episode. A true master class in what happens when it's done right. What happens, magic, magic happens, and that what you and A gave your audience.
A's take on Bruce Dern and learning from watching him was interesting in the extreme. For instance, first rule of acting when doing a scene with a method actor given to improv, particularly one specializing in playing psychopaths: It's a good idea to upgrade your medical insurance. But to totally appreciate Dern's range and mastery of his art, you really need to watch his work in its exstremes, such as his highly convincing psycho in "The Cowboys, and then the equally entertaining comedic role he did for Hitchcock in "Family Plot". Love this thoughtful interview with A, no slouch as an actor himself, and am again sadly reminded how much I miss his character in "Longmire".
A very interesting story of A Martinez relating his life in the great films and actors that he worked with and the lessons he learned in his association with other actors and directors that brought us great memories and entertainment.
A Martinez is a great great actor….. And to see him as such a nice humble man…..If he in in a tv show or Movie….I’m there👍👍👍Thank you Rob…. Another great job….👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"The Cowboys" One of John Wayne's great westerns, A. Martinez played a great role in it, and Bruce Dern is a charismatic actor, perfect bad guy. Excellent interview Rob.
I remember. Watching bruce dern In an interview where he said that he had gotten death threats Because he had shot and killed. John Wayne in that movie the cowboys
Good episode Rob ! The cowboy's just happens to be my favorite JW film ever. I could never get tired of watching it. That movie had all the ingredients for a great story. Thanks for your valuable contribution Mr. Martinez. 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
As someone who has done extra work in movies I have seen very talented actors work also, and have enjoyed watching that part of the process. When A Martinez brought up his watching the hanging seen in The Cowboys I understood it all as I too learned the lessons. No I am not an actor. However that scene in the movie is so very well done between those two that I wished that I was on the set to watch it filmed. Thank you Rob for a great interview and thank you A Martinez for your great work.
We so enjoy the interviews you do and learn so much more about the stars that have played in movies throughout our lives and. I loved this one since A admitted that he too has been star stuck with the stars he has acted with in different movies and how well the whole learning process of working with others whom he has been schooled as they worked making those movies so believable. Thanks for these videos of the interviews, we love them.
I especially liked his tough guy attitude at first and then he melts into the group. Especially like him I the fallen angles with Colleen Dewhearst. The cowboys was just an awesome movie. Bruce Dern was the guy you liked to hate. You knew he was lying and John Wayne’s character knew it as well from the very start. The cowboys is just a great movie. And of course one can’t forget Mr Nilgtlingers prayer.
I appreciate how Mr. Martinez relates how his early family and school life laid the groundwork for his successful career. Too many successful folk, not just in show business, act as if they emerged, like Athena from the head of Zeus, as a fully formed genius.
Fantastic! Rob, you began with “How did you first decide to be an actor?” A Martinez gracious humble recognition of his school teacher in his 7th grade year- That was the key to all the stories he humbly told on Michael Landon, Johnny Carson, Angie Dickinson, Bruce Dern and the Duke. I’ve found a similar question the best guide to knowing if I’ll have a great doctor or a doctor. My first question I ask is - “What impressed you to become the doctor you are?” The humble recognition of someone’s influence on them let’s me know I’ve got a great one, or I move on to another. It’s worked for me over 50 years. Thanks Rob, you’re a star in your own right.
It seems over the years that he was always in some movie or tv show, I've been watching him playing Jacob Nighthorse in Longmire and as usual he delivers so obviously he took all those lessons to heart and used them well.
Many thanks for another interesting interview, Rob, RJ and Team AWOW. I am a huge A Martinez fan from early on. (And my mother loved him in the soap Santa Barbara!). Best of health to you all.
Great interview, Rob! I am a fan of A. Martinez. He was great in "The Cowboys" and I have followed his career since. He is especially good in a two-part episode of "CSI" titled "A Bullet Runs Through It" and in "Longmire." There were so many great actors in "The Cowboys.," Roscoe Lee Brown. Bruce Dern, and of course John Wayne, but so many seem to overlook Slim Pickens who was a great actor and I hear a great acting teacher. I wonder if A. Martinez learned anything from Slim Pickens.
Slim only worked one day, Bill. I asked Bobby Carradine about it in one of his early AWOW episodes. I've had Slim's daughter, Darryl Ann, on as a guest. She was delightful. Too bad Slim died in 1983 at the age of 64. RIP
I just watched this interview with A. Martinez and it was terrific, very engrossing. So much so that I can’t believe it was 24.5 minutes long. The time just flew by - thanks for another great discussion Rob.
I was asking for an interview of mr martinez a while back as usual rob you delivered. REFRESHING TO SEE that he can still be starstruck after a 56 years career with his work known all over the world. As usual i discovered something that is cassie & co with angie and him. Funny trivia he played also a street hoodlum (blink and you miss him) in an elvis presley and mary tyle moore's change of habit.
A. Martinez has always stood out in every role I ever saw him portray, on T.V. and Film. His characters were very memorable to Mom, and me. Great interview of an extremely talented stand-out actor. 👍👍 5⭐ 10🏆 HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bruce Dern! However, I am kind of disappointed that Clint Walker's May 30th Birthday went un-anounced. 😢
Great interview Rob one my favorites as a kid probably the most emotional I ever got dern killing the Duke . Great actor he is what he brought to the table in the cowboys never forgot his scenes may need watch now
Another great interview Rob. A is open and humble has some top stories. I recommend bruce dern s autobiography things i have said but probably shouldn't have it's a great read.
I so wish Dern had done his auto bio as an audio book. Dern, in the eighties had performed a great rendition of William Goldman's HEAT, I have it on cassette tape. Dern has such a unique delivery. In reading Dern's book you can hear his voice on the page... but I'd love to have it as an audio book as done by Dern.
Another great interview with another great interviewee. First time I’ve ever seen an interview with A. Martinez. An excellent communicator … articulate, modest and truly appreciative of the fellow actors he worked with over his own great career. Thank you Rob once again.
First! My blessed aunt absolutely HATED Bruce Dern! She would almost spit venom when he appeared on the screen. Miss her, she would really enjoy this channel. Thanks Rob.
I was very young and absolutely (still absolutely do) loved John Wayne when the Cowboys (on TV) appeared in my life. I am now 57. I have a visceral hatred of Bruce Dern. I know, type casting. Sorry, but facts are facts. It is really too bad that John Wayne did not kill Bruce Dern in the Shootist. Maybe it would have squared the books. Just sayin.
@@beerdrinker6452 : I’m 57 as well, but I’ve heard enough stories, actually, many of them on Robs channel, that tell of Bruce’s true character, that I now very much appreciate watching him act.
Great interview!! The cowboys would NOT have been the same without this guy. Actually, when I first saw it in the theater, I really thought Cimeron was going to put a gun at the campfire scene and waste Dern right in front of his men. I thought his character was that tough.
Wonderful interview Rob, what a lovely humble nice guy he is, starstruck when he's quite a successful and talented individual himself!! love your Content Rob, always consistent and entertaining, thank you! 👌
I tried to find "Born Wild" because I wanted to see young A. perform with 23 year old with Patty McCormack. I guess the title has been changed for some reason to "The Young Animals". Looking forward to watching it. Great conversation, Rob!
Yeah, this Mr. Martinez's best show with you, Rob. - Many-Many Caveats about working in your industry worth hearing Twice ;) -- T H A N K - YOU - ROB :)
I know when you get script, you work with that script. I know when I seen him the first time , I liked him. I have no idea what it was I seen him in but there was something about him. When ever he was on something, I wanted to see it. Then he was into a program I loved ,,,
This is Bruce Dern's 87th birthday and I am reminded of something I didn't know about him. Several years ago I was reading Runner's World magazine and found an interview with him on the back page, In it he stated that he had been running 5 miles a day his entire adult life (when possible).
Angie Dickinson was tough when she had to be..who can forget the time she was ambushed for an episode of "This Is Your Life".and DID NOT appreciate it at all...the cold way she took command and shot it down was better than the show itself would have been😅
Dern, one of my favorites since I was a kid, and saw him on Gunsmoke and other early westerns. For years I couldn't understand why he wasn't better known. Being a motorcycle nut since I saw my uncles (I was hauled around in his saddlebags when I was in diapers, no the lids weren't on) I always wanted him to star in a biker type movie. Terribly unappreciated and underrated.
Hi, Pete. Dernsie was always one of my favorites, too. He was in the classic biker film THE WILD ANGELS (1966) as "Loser." It's his wake that the gang attends. He also starred in the (sort of) cult classic CYCLE SAVAGES (1969).
@@AWordonWesterns The real Loser in that movie was the dreary gangly Peter Fonda, I can not stand that guy in anything. How was that man in any movie? He was a third rate knockoff of the great Eastwood. The Hired hand is exalted as one of the great westerns but Fonda just gives his customary wooden performance. Fonda just makes my skin crawl, he gives off wayward hippie vibes; he was the gaunt summation of 60's counterculture and that whole mellow melancholy drugged out dreary music incoherent derelict hellion garbage

Perfect interview---Martinez was articulate and very giving. You give people room to express themselves and that's a gift.
I think so to!
Thanks very much, Bill.
It really is a gift.
ohhh! nailedit.

Cowboys was one of the best westerns, ever. I loved Martinez in that movie, he was so great
I’ve never even heard of this guy but really enjoyed listening to him, cool dude.
Although A has had a terrific career, the man still remains humble. I see this time and again in the actors you interview.
The great A Martinez.
A. Martinez is an excellent actor & an awesome interview. It ended too soon. I could listen to him all night. Thanks, Rob!
Thank you. Great actor. Great stories. Humble interview.
Glad you enjoyed it, Pauline. Thanks.
Always loved Mr. Martinez. He has "it". Yup. love him.

What a great interview A. Is a great actor ❤
Had such a crush on A Martinez as a teenager. And Mark Harmon after Centennial.
Great Interview an always informative, Martinez is a Genuine Humble Actor, Giving Kudo's to Dern, Wayne, Landon. an Directors. Thanks. Rob Word.
Great interview Rob... loved A in Longmire!
Adolfo Martinez de la Garza, great actor and great interview also. Many thanks.
Outstanding Interview. Mr. Martinez, the character actor, yes, but more than that, one of the most articulate of them all. Thank you, Rob!
Rob, this is the type of person that I love to listen to. His opinion on other actors are so in depth and enlightening and your skills interviewing are perfect to allow this to happen. Thank you so much
Thanks, Ryan. I try to keep it fun and A certainly made it easy for me.
Yes. I wonder what Rydell whispered to him in that scene... and which scene it was.
That was outstanding by both of you. Couple things stood out, his mention about the “wisdom of a pension” shows he is grounded. Your comment about being gobsmacked by how gorgeous Angie Dickinson was and then blurting it out was hilarious and a very unassuming grounded comment as well.

Maybe the best interview I have ever seen! I really enjoyed this and learned so much.
Wow, thank you!
That's got to be one of the most grounded dudes in Hollywood.
Rob, I absolutely love this interview! Thanks for all your hard work in getting all of these stories to the fans. :)

He was so cool in the Cowboys !
This is a favorite movie of mine. Its great hearing these back stories of the actor's. 👍
What a great interview. Martinez seems like one hell of a good guy.
That he is, Sweet D. Thanks.
I Love A. Good interview Rob
Another excellent interview! Mr. Martinez is a world class act!
Outstanding! Rob and A are a fabulous team.
That movie is majorly underrated! A. Martinez is awesome!💥

Thanks, rsyke. You are correct with all of you accolades about A. He is in two other AWOW episodes that you might want to check out.
Loved his stories.
Me, too, K.
First!
My blessed aunt absolutely HATED Bruce Dern! She would almost spit venom when he appeared on the screen. Miss her, she would really enjoy this channel.

Thanks, Jeff. It started as THE YOUNG ANIMALS and then was later changed to BORN WILD
I love westerns very cool video
Great interview and yes Bruce Dern is amazing !
Two humble professionals. Thank you...
Yeah, this Mr. Martinez's best show with you, Rob. - Many-Many Caveats about working in your industry worth hearing Twice ;) --
T H A N K - YOU - ROB :)
They call what Bruce Dern does Dernisms!
I know when you get script, you work with that script. I know when I seen him the first time , I liked him. I have no idea what it was I seen him in but there was something about him. When ever he was on something, I wanted to see it. Then he was into a program I loved ,,,
Great Episode. Except for the Reverb. It's wonderful the Respect A. has for those he's worked with. Shows he's worthy of Respect.
Bruce Dern was the ultimate bad guy.
This is Bruce Dern's 87th birthday and I am reminded of something I didn't know about him. Several years ago I was reading Runner's World magazine and found an interview with him on the back page, In it he stated that he had been running 5 miles a day his entire adult life (when possible).
Yep, tom, he was always running on films between scenes.
Angie Dickinson was tough when she had to be..who can forget the time she was ambushed for an episode of "This Is Your Life".and DID NOT appreciate it at all...the cold way she took command and shot it down was better than the show itself would have been😅
Dern, one of my favorites since I was a kid, and saw him on Gunsmoke and other early westerns. For years I couldn't understand why he wasn't better known.
Being a motorcycle nut since I saw my uncles (I was hauled around in his saddlebags when I was in diapers, no the lids weren't on) I always wanted him to star in a biker type movie.
Terribly unappreciated and underrated.
Hi, Pete. Dernsie was always one of my favorites, too. He was in the classic biker film THE WILD ANGELS (1966) as "Loser." It's his wake that the gang attends. He also starred in the (sort of) cult classic CYCLE SAVAGES (1969).
@@AWordonWesterns The real Loser in that movie was the dreary gangly Peter Fonda, I can not stand that guy in anything. How was that man in any movie? He was a third rate knockoff of the great Eastwood. The Hired hand is exalted as one of the great westerns but Fonda just gives his customary wooden performance. Fonda just makes my skin crawl, he gives off wayward hippie vibes; he was the gaunt summation of 60's counterculture and that whole mellow melancholy drugged out dreary music incoherent derelict hellion garbage
Tom Nardini played Jackson Two Bears in Cat Ballou.
Yeah, I got that wrong, Pryce. Thanks for catching it, and setting the record straight. Tom was the coolest, and treated me really well.
