An actor friend of mine's mentor used to run The Pasadena Playhouse when Bronson was taking classes there. He said one of the teachers was absolutely terrified of him, to the point where Bronson asked him one day, "I scare you, don't I?" The teacher stammered out a nervous "yes," to which Bronson replied, "I thought so." He then walked away and never gave that teacher an ounce of respect again, lol.

@christanb3403 3 жыл бұрын

I once had to give the actor who played Uncle Leo on Seinfeld a ride home from the airport. He was pretty elderly at the time and to break the ice I asked him for old-school Hollywood stories and he was more than happy to oblige. He told plenty of amusing and very humanistic anecdotes about working with Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, James Garner, etc, etc. What I thought was going to turn out to be an either awkward or boring or awkwardly boring ride with a total stranger turned out to be quite entertaining and informative. But he did say that Charles Bronson was extraordinarily reserved, almost to the point of seeming shy. Len Lesser(Uncle Leo) said that Bronson never shook anyone's hand, and made it a point to say he didn't mean any offense, he just wouldn't shake anyone's hand. Basically not a buddy-buddy type schmoozer. And Jack Klugman, who roomed with Bronson when they were both staring out in the industry said Bronson was the best roommate he ever had because Bronson was a neat freak and kept the place spotless. From what we know of the brutal poverty of Bronson's childhood, the two anecdotes I've mentioned above(Lack of gregarious social skills or at least, unwillingness to use them, obsessive need for cleanliness and order), they seem to paint a picture of an adult child of alcoholics. This history of childhood trauma does not make me sad. What does make me sad is that because of these very same instances, Charles Bronson, if given the opportunity would have made a fantastic comedic actor had he been given more chances to play those types of roles, instead of being typecast in the mold of the American Toxic Male. Don't believe me? Think of a Mel Brooks or Neil Simon or Blake Edwards comedy and then think of what they would have been like with Charles Bronson in a supporting or leading role.

Then recently I was changing channels and saw him in a western and his shirt was off & I thought MAMA MIA! That dude was built! Oh, and I liked him in "Death Wish" also, 1974. But to see & hear him in this interview; he was a very interesting man! And the fact that he was a coal miner touched my heart. My paternal GrandFather was a coal miner for 52 years! He started out as a young boy 😕 But he lived to be 91! That fact is a miracle in itself. So rest well and in peace Mr. Bronson.🙏 You were a remarkable man.

Charles Bronson was the real deal. Nothing fake about his patriotism and service to the United States of America. Like other actor William Smith, he lived it and even worked with Elvis Presley in a film both him and Elvis Presley were head cast in. He's done more the first 40 years of his life than most actors have done their whole life. He enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces in 1943 during World War II.[3] He served in the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron, and in 1945 as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress aerial gunner with the Guam-based 61st Bombardment Squadron[17] within the 39th Bombardment Group, which conducted combat missions against the Japanese home islands.[18] He flew 25 missions and received a Purple Heart for wounds received in battle.
