I've been watching My Three Sons recently and I realised I only started loving the show when Ernie became part of the family!

What a nice guy Barry is. I like the way he tells a story about someone without putting them down. He is the type of guy who is nice to know; very down to earth.

Barry Livingston is such a likeable, comfortable interview subject. Out of ALL of these interviews, he is my hands down favorite.

Hello! I saw Barry Livingston in the Los Angeles premiere of a play called"Creeps." It had to be late 1980s I believe. He stole the show in this little black box theater on Melrose. He was masterful in a very difficult role, it seemed. I always felt something from this actor. Happy to see him looking and doing fine. Thanks for the memories!

Barry is very open and articulate about his experiences. Saw an earlier interview with Stanley who is equally well spoken. Nice how unaffected and well-adjusted these brothers are.

I just discovered these Celebrity Drop interviews with Craig Bennett, and I have got to say it is so refreshing and so wonderful to see an interviewer who really knows his stuff. This guy comes to each one of these interviews so unbelievably prepared with a list of intriguing, interesting and respectfully probing questions and just fires them one after the other after the other after the other. I'm always annoyed when I see interviews with celebrities where the interviewer is ill prepared, asks the most inane questions and it's just a total waste of everyone's time. You see this particularly today with the I forget what they're called but the interviews for a movie that's just coming out and it's like somebody actually hired you? My God! Anyway, I just had to say kudos to Craig Bennett for m conducting the absolutely best interviews!

Barry is so down to earth. And the interviewer is the best at what he does. He always asks the right questions and makes guests feel comfortable.

I hope that director who didn’t like Barry’s glasses came to realize how he missed a golden opportunity. Those glasses gave little Barry a uniqueness not to be found in any other child actor. They were the perfect accent to a very talented little boy. And once word got around as to why he had to wear the glasses, they endeared him to many fans who either wore glasses or knew someone they loved who did. Thanks, Barry, for showing the world that having imperfections is perfecting. 👏👏👏

@csrothlisberger852 6 ай бұрын

Very interesting interview. Yes, he'll always be Ernie but he has a vast & varied career as an actor. He should be proud of his accomplishments on screen & off married to the same woman for 40 years. Very down to earth & open about his life. A family trait as Stan was the same way during his interview as well.

@diamonddog13 6 ай бұрын

Barry has had quite a great career. One thing I always wondered is if he auditioned for American Graffiti. He bears a bit of a resemblance to Charles Martin Smith and they're the same age. I wouldn't be surprised if Barry had auditioned for the Toad role.

Good interviews. I like seeing older TV/movie celebrity interviews and hearing stories about their interactions with legendary stars. And thank you for the timecodes (chapter search)! There are a number of child actors from the 1940s/50s I’d love to see.

I didn't get to see My Three Sons until it moved to CBS since we didn't have an ABC channel in my area until quite a few years later. So, Ernie was always the youngest son to me! I SO wanted to be in that family, my wonderful father died right after I turned 8 and I had a horrible childhood after that. I so wanted to have my wonderful father back and watching the character Steve Douglas as a father was great. I'm happy that in the last 10 years, I've been able to see most of the black and white and rewatch most of the color episodes of My Three Sons. I loved the interview with Stanley and was so happy when the interview with Barry popped up yesterday! Loved hearing how Barry has been doing. Take care Barry!

Beau Bridges actually was a friend of Mike's on My Three Sons, he was in the first episode about Mike wanting to be on the school newspaper and also in that episode was the actress who played Miss Beadle on Little House On The Prairie, he was also in one other episode called Brotherly Love, he was Mike's friend, not Robbie's

I've been following Judy Norton's channel and she's just the same. Very down to earth. Very charming and very, very humble. People have such a warped view of Hollywood (as did I at one time). These are just people who are trying to make a living in a very tough environment. The 'stars' are one in a billion. The rest are just everyday people.
