Was one of my favorite actors 👍

As a PROUD POLISH American I Always Loved Banacek ❤️ RIP , Mr. George Peppard .

Brilliant interview. Rarely seen him so relaxed. RIP George. Just re-watched Night of the Fox, George’s last major role I think.

This show should've gotten more Seasons.

George Peppard did a great job on Banacek. Part of the NBC Mystery Movies. McCloud, Columbo, McMillan & Wife, Snoop Sisters, Hec Ramsey. Saw during school holidays and vacation periods. Last time I saw this in reruns was on Hallmark Channel.

George never really got enough credit for breakfast at Tiffany's. I felt his performance was excellent and helped Audrey Hepburn s character enormously

My favorite TV show in the 1970's. Even to the point of his sport jackets, three piece blue suits and grey suits. I bought mine and many of my contemporaries dressed the same. He had class. Always wanted to ride in a black limo with a phone in the car and have a chauffer. His digs in Boston was also the best. He used to go to Anthony's Pier Four restaurant in Boston when he was filming there. He knew Anthony quite well and even had him on one of the episodes " No Stoned Unturned". His 1941 Packard was also great. Many great scenes of Boston. They do not make TV series like that anymore. My dress code copied his and in those days you would have to dress like that to enter any upscale restaurant. These days anything goes. Such a shame. George Peppard was a Marine veteran. They should have mentioned that in the interview. I have the whole series on DVD but I wish they would have in HD on Amazon. Thanks for posting the interview. Such great days.

thanks a million times Bobbie Wygant for posting this interview with this super gorgeous man!

I only ever knew George from the A Team as I was only a kid but it was great to discover his pre A Team career !!!

Great interview with the Peppard, he seems a very switched on sharp character, I 've read a lot about him being not very nice on the A-team etc and he apparently admitted he wasn't so himself but he seems very polite and friendly in this clip. He gives a very natural and open chat. Great interview Bobbie and you are looking so fine in that pink.

George was never mentioned as he deserved in Breakfast at Tiffanys they pay all the attention to Audrey Hepburn, and yet he was a great actor and so very handsome!!!! I loved him!!!! Also in his 50s in The A Team!!!! I loved him in the serie!!!! He should have been a star!!!!

Bobbie is Magnificent. Peppard RIP

une legende ne meurt oas tu resteras toujours dans le coeur des gens qui t aiment ilove you george peppard paix à ton âme

This was wonderful; so relaxing. The mention of "The Bravos" is quite interesting because behind the scenes it had the A-list talent, executive producer David Victor ("Marcus Welby, M.D." and "Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law") and creator Christopher Knopf ("The Big Valley," "Cimarron Strip") and filmed on magnificent Sedona, Arizona locations. Peppard's put down of his character is not unlike some critics' complaints about Banacek in "Banacek." He mentions he's a bachelor and by checking the dates we see he's freshly divorced from Elizabeth Ashley, on Feb. 28, 1972. That makes this interview occurring a few months after and before the Sept. 1972 "Banacek" premiere of the NBC "Mystery Movie" franchise. Viewers can tell Bobbie is really enjoying her job, conducting this interview; would not surprise me that she's smitten -- which tons of women are. Speaking of women, IMDB's "Banacek" page does NOT identify the luscious female wearing the mini-dress exiting the car's back seat and walking away from camera into the restaurant. "OMG -- those LEGS!; that DRESS!". A half a century ago millions of men were surely wondering if she's a local (Boston) hire or did the Universal casting directors send her out from L.A.? In ADDITION to wondering how much higher can that dress rise before the NBC censors insist on a reshoot? BTW Christine Belford, a Universal contract player, was a fine addition to the show as Carlie Kirkland. Rather unique circumstance -- yet most welcome in the outcome -- that she joined as a regular in the second season in the same role she originated in the pilot a year and a half prior. However, it's curious and sad that she was missing from the final two mysteries. WHAT'S the story there?! It's mentioned all over various media sites that NBC didn't cancel "Banacek," but that Peppard nixed year three out of spite to ex Ashley, depriving her of more of his substantial earnings from the show in her alimony payments. Universal and / or NBC -- if "Banacek" was indeed that successful and an important asset to the studio and the network's "Mystery Movie" franchise -- would have worked out some financial arrangement either bumping up Peppard's salary to cover the considerable obligation or make a deal guaranteeing her a minimal amount of movie and TV roles of her choosing, letting Peppard 'off-the-hook' more or less. Finally, a minor point going back to an element in the main title. One would wish for that by the second season wiser heads would have ordered new, replacement footage be filmed of Peppard rowing during one their infrequent Boston location shoots in order to replace that obvious, phony process-shot of Peppard essentially rowing on the sound stage in front of a movie screen of the river and familiar skyline.

He was such a good looking man. It is too bad, he lost his life to lung cancer. Way back then we are not conscious about health not like now

George, God Bless you.

Thanks a million times Bobbie for uploading this! I am amazed by George's gorgeous voice, his stunning looks and brains. You were lucky to meet him in person: George is my favorite human being. I ADORE the Banacek TV Series; I have all the DVDs. He was so smart, elegant, adorable, interesting, and the leading ladies, well I like most of them. I like the stories. The role fitted George Peppard like a glove; he WAS Banacek. I am moved with joy to see him in real life and how he answers your questions. He had a lot of German ancestry. George is one of the best things to ever happen to me. I envy you for just sitting next to him. George is so handsome and intelligent.

So suave & cool!

Another fave

Wow love these vintage interviews and wow the people you have interviewed amazing !

Something tells me George took a shine to his lovely interviewer. Just a guess ;)

Bobbie and George should have married, they have chemistry

Those two had some good chemistry in that interview. I can see why they wrote Hannibal Smith for him on the A-Team - the mischievous, cool style is innately his, so he was perfect for it.

Thank you for uploading. He comes across as very laid-back and easy-going. It's always been said that he was difficult to work with but he sounds really nice in this interview. Bobbie really made him feel at home. 4:57 "He's a bachelor and so am I". Haha, what a charmer.

I never saw Banacek! but he seems so A-team here!

Classic

Loved the interview.

He was from Dearborn, Michigan not far from Hamtramck which once had a majority Polish population. The west side of Detroit had a lot of Poles as well.

Bellísima entrevista 👏👏👏 ANÍBAL era todo un galán 🤩🤩🤩😍😍

Did not know his dad came from Canada. Pretty cool

I've not seen Banacek, especially here in the U.K. I can see a lot of Hannibal Smith in this interview...😆

Very intelligent man.

Omg such a spunk

Love banacek. I remeber watching detour to nowhere in 1972. Only 17 episodes, George quit allegedly because he didn't want his wife Elizabeth ashley to get part of his salary in a divorce dispute r

Bobbie was a fox!

Get a load of those microphones.

Lol, as soon as the cameras are switched off, it's "$%&£ off!" "Get away from me," etc. A lot of these interviews contain false niceties - such a common trait in a place like Hollywood. "Banacek" is a good show and should have lasted longer. I heard George Peppard's drinking was growing out of control at this point.

That woman is charming af
