My favorite actor of all time…and never a whiff of scandal around this great man. IMO, Rockford Files is the greatest show ever made. RIP, Mr. Garner. ❤️
I couldn't agree with you more mate I've been watching the rockford files Almost 20 years even though they are old they never get old Brilliant Pure classic class
James Gardner has always been one of my most favorite actors. I don’t think there’s anything this man couldn’t do. I just love him thank you James for just being you.❤
I had the pleasure of writing James Garner a Western film script, when I worked as an actor/ screenwriter in Hollywood, and he was a joy to behold. Genuine, honest and with a unique way of including you in his life.. Hollywood could take a lesson.
I was just reading his stats. He and my dad were both born in April, 1928, and both were married in 1956. Both were married to one woman. James died in 2014. My dad died in 2020. Both were amazing.
Mr. Garner is one of my favourite actors. Every man's anti-hero. Rockford files was at 5:30pm, when I was a kid. Choking down dinner as fast as we could, then rushing to the TV. Worth the heart burn.
That is the film where I fell in love, so to speak, with Julie Andrews, Her “duets" with Carol Burnet were just a kind of confirmation that she had real “quality”.
I have always been a fan. Great interview. I compare his attitude toward acting lessons to great musicians that cant read a note but great music pours out of their soul.
gilbertdare5921 Like the Late Great Eddie Van Halen. Couldn't read a note but Geeze Louise I don't think it mattered. R.I.P Mr .Garner and Eddie. You are both greatly missed.
I love James Garner! Wonderful movie and TV actor! Convincing in whatever role he was playing; movies and TV--and the Polaroid commercial too! One of the greats that is truly missed by many. ❤❤❤❤
I have seen alot of his admirable work in tv and film. He was my favorite maverick when he took turns with Bart. This for those of you who are my age (73).
"You regret what you don't do, rather than what you do." Rose stated that after Garner spoke about Laughton's admonition to him. I think the idea fits for an actor, 'playing" a role. However, in the real world, we all have regrets about what we do AND don't do. It's the nature of life, we're never perfect; just doing our best...
I love this man, he isnpired me as Rockford when I was a teenager. To become a PI. He aged very quickly later on. Not as quick as William Holden but still... Takes nothing away from him if yes: Did he have a drinking problem?
I have always liked James Rockford,on the wesrterns,with his co star Stuart .He had a great smile.I watch Rockford Files,even more than once.He ws good on Maverick too.Its on ,on Sat//Sunday.RIP James
What I liked about James as an actor is he always had at least one episode per season where his character made reference to his home state, Oklahoma. RIP Jim
Just Love this Man. Legendary ICON and Giant in the Industry. Yet....such a classy, personable Gentleman. Currently enjoying his 'Rockford Files' All-Seasons' on BluRay. What a great show that was....and he was in fine form, throughout. God Speed, Mr. Garner. I would have loved to have met you.
I hadn't known 'Aimes Jainshill', 'Angel' was still around for so long because he wasn't in front of people OR- I'd really like to have met him. Superlatives about all factors: casting, writing, et al.✓
The Honorary Permanent President of Raider Nation! Mr Garner was on the sidelines of Raiders games for many decades. 70s, 80s, 90s, I know for certain. But I bet he started in the 60s and made it at least into the 2000s back at the Oakland Coliseum.
I wonder if James Garner were alive today, if he would still be a Clinton fan? A lot of things have come to light since 2002 when this interview was recorded.
However, he was mistaken on Rambo First Blood, no policemen or national guardsmen were killed…except one, indirectly caused by a helicopter pilot after being hit by a rock flung by Rambo
I agree this interviewer is not so great. He asked Jim a question then interrupts him and gives possible answers. When he asked him what his favorite actors to work with are. He answered his own question, then moves on.
Another elitist actor. Too bad. I don't know why I didn't remember he was a flaming liberal. I wonder if he would've become a snowflake too. I guess he doesn't like talking about Rockford anymore at this point. Kinda boring...

Almost 20 years even though they are old they never get old
Brilliant
Pure classic class
We don't have the same politics, but agree he was one of the best in Hollywood. I still watch the Rockford Files to this day.
Such a great guy.........humble, funny, self deprecating, and always giving credit to others. He is sorely missed 😢
One 😊😊😊😊😊ko😊keep 😊 kok😊😊kkk
…unlike the man sitting across from him😠
Fascinating interview. James Garner is truly one of the greats!
Mr. Garner was one of the greats. Made it look so easy.
a great person, met him a couple of times, talks to you like he's known you all his life. his talent and persona will be missed.
Ditto.
Just the best!! A man of principle, so rare these days. Love the interview!!
Has always been rare be assured ... :)
James Gardner has always been one of my most favorite actors. I don’t think there’s anything this man couldn’t do. I just love him thank you James for just being you.❤
What a guy. Miss him. One of a kind.

They don't make actors like him anymore..
Its not that hes American .... but his integrity as a human that shines through ..... a thoroughly decent person !
But being a proud American a big part of who Garner was!
I was just reading his stats. He and my dad were both born in April, 1928, and both were married in 1956. Both were married to one woman. James died in 2014. My dad died in 2020. Both were amazing.
He came into a club where I was playing in Texas and he was a total gentleman
a truly great human being and a actor of great character
Fabulous actor..genuine guy
RIP...we all miss you Jim....thank you for your gr8 performances...
Mr. Garner is one of my favourite actors. Every man's anti-hero. Rockford files was at 5:30pm, when I was a kid. Choking down dinner as fast as we could, then rushing to the TV. Worth the heart burn.
He's right-- "The Americanization of Emily" is a must-see classic!
That is the film where I fell in love, so to speak, with Julie Andrews, Her “duets" with Carol Burnet were just a kind of confirmation that she had real “quality”.
Great movie! IMHO!😊
we no longer have stars of this class and caliber....
correct
God Bless James Thanks for Good Memories ❤️🙏
I have always been a fan. Great interview. I compare his attitude toward acting lessons to great musicians that cant read a note but great music pours out of their soul.

Bing Crosby. Well, out of their head. Trained musicians have kind of auto-tuning in their heads.
I miss Jim. He was a great guy and a fine actor.
Great and a Veteran!
James garner a great actor, good person, no scandals very good long running hit shows along with good movies and a damn good golfer.
James Garner was the best!
I have got his book the garner files read it great book miss him
Loved James Garner. Never, ever looked like he was acting....
Both started out together two kids at the bottom rung and both made it to the top as mature wise men that in itself is a wonderful story
Absolute legend!
I love James Garner! Wonderful movie and TV actor! Convincing in whatever role he was playing; movies and TV--and the Polaroid commercial too! One of the greats that is truly missed by many. ❤❤❤❤

Wow 😯 I miss him

I had one myself, glad I left it behind in 1999.
@ wofgang...I recommend you read Mr Garner's book, The Garner Files. You will admire him even more.

I always wished for the handsome look of James Gardner. I have settled for mine. I guess we have to be happy with what we have to work with.
Never saw anything I didn’t like him in but Maverick was my favorite.
Garner punched a writer thru a dressing room during the filming of Rockford because of plagiarism. A man's man .
James Garner
What a Beautiful person inside and out
A Real old school person
God Rest Him ❤
Omg i love this man.
THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY was both James Garner & Julie Andrew's favorite film performance.
What a man. Half Cherokee half German.
A quarter Cherokee. His mother’s father was Cherokee.
Top bloke 👏 👌
How could you not ask Garner anything about the movie "Grand Prix"
Some cool dude , I recall The Rockford Files Brilliant and Perfect tv.❤
Go to 00:20:00
Some are leading men, some are men that lead
Love both of them
One of the all time greats. Surprised me to learn he was a life long pot smoker.
When he was young, hubba hubba! What a great looking man. My mother in law had a huge crush on him.
Just Love this Man. Legendary ICON and Giant in the Industry. Yet....such a classy, personable Gentleman. Currently enjoying his 'Rockford Files' All-Seasons' on BluRay. What a great show that was....and he was in fine form, throughout. God Speed, Mr. Garner. I would have loved to have met you.
Made it look so easy ! Top performer and is so cool
Jim Garner is Jim Rockford, Space Cowboys so good
Lovely man
very few Hollywood types I ever wanted to meet in person, but Mr. Garner was one of a very few I really would like to have shaken his hand.
The Trees The Bees and TT Flowers, a Rockford Files episode is cited as film No. 138 on the Humanities Film Forum Must See List.
What a super guy! Truly missed.
Class act.
I love James Gardner
My favorite of his was The Great Escape.
Of course I never met him but if I ever did I always imagined he would be the type of person I would want as a best friend
You deserved more than this Jim.
I hadn't known 'Aimes Jainshill', 'Angel' was still around for so long because he wasn't in front of people OR- I'd really like to have met him. Superlatives about all factors: casting, writing, et al.✓
That's what John Wayne said.
Tom Selleck followed James Garner's example
Never thought of that! You are spot on.
Yes, he was Tom’s mentor.
Ur right as a matter of fact Rockford Files Tom Selleck played a investigater
Yes..Tom Selleck played a investigater on Rockford Files
The Honorary Permanent President of Raider Nation! Mr Garner was on the sidelines of Raiders games for many decades. 70s, 80s, 90s, I know for certain. But I bet he started in the 60s and made it at least into the 2000s back at the Oakland Coliseum.
Great Man...Great Actor
James Garner: The greatest Dad actor
He was a great actor. Enjoyed his movies. Hated his political leanings but that was his choice. Don’t make actors like this anymore.
I was born in fort worth , parents, grandparents and great grandparents.
if you want a pay check you better answer the people who are paying you
I wonder if James Garner were alive today, if he would still be a Clinton fan? A lot of things have come to light since 2002 when this interview was recorded.
Feel better now?
Very prescient about SCOTUS.
@@paulzammataro7185 I do...
I doubt he'd still approve of the Clinton crime family.
@@rosamondbovey4497 I agree with him about the court’s role in 2000. But that was forced on them by the actions of the Florida Supreme Court.
he looks like my dad
However, he was mistaken on Rambo First Blood, no policemen or national guardsmen were killed…except one, indirectly caused by a helicopter pilot after
being hit by a rock flung by Rambo
"36 Hours" is good.
The Great Escape is clearly superior to The Americanization of Emily.
I agree with him.
Grande ator
James Rockford
You can hear the smoking in his voice.
Why didn’t he ask him about Korea
The Tom Snyder interview is much better. Rose was pretentious.
Glad we can watch both
I agree this interviewer is not so great. He asked Jim a question then interrupts him and gives possible answers. When he asked him what his favorite actors to work with are. He answered his own question, then moves on.
Never meet your Heroes
Loved him in Rockford files. Rambo story is total BS. Rambo first blood kill count is one. That's one. One.
Another elitist actor. Too bad. I don't know why I didn't remember he was a flaming liberal. I wonder if he would've become a snowflake too. I guess he doesn't like talking about Rockford anymore at this point. Kinda boring...
I voted Republican sounds like he just admitted he was a alcoholic.
26:45
Too bad he’s far left liberal. Had me fooled- but I still love him as Rockford!
His political views make me not like him as much.
Who knew, a Hollywood actor is a card carrying Liberal?
Loved Bill Clinton ! What a way to say I' m an idiot.
