I worked in Malibu, CA for a few years in college and I always heard these tales of people running into Jack Nicholson (allegedly he lived there for some years), but unfortunately I never did. One day, Danny DeVito walked in with his son and came through my checkout line. A very nice and approachable man. I felt silly for asking him but since Cuckoo’s Nest is one of my favorite films, I asked him what working with Jack was like. He obliged and said “Incredible. Jack was the most intelligent, professional actor he has ever worked with and a complete joy to be around.” It was all I needed to hear.

DeVito was astoundingly good in Hoffa, also with Nicholson. That was the first time I ever saw DeVito in a serious, non-comedic role. One of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Didn't know DeVito could really act, seriously, until then. He blew me away in that movie.

Jessup was indignant, not anti-semitic. He had contempt for the Navy, non-combat personnel, and the fact that he had to testify or explain himself to them at all. In his mind he made their sugar coated world and their comfy desk jobs possible and how dare they question him, they should be grateful. He said it himself... “I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man that rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I’d rather you just said thank you and be on your way.”

@citizenghosttown 4 жыл бұрын

He's anti-semetic too. Sure he's expressing his contempt for the "pussy" Navy guys who sit behind desks and aren't real soldiers - and that's the main thing. But the stereotype is consistent with the character that Sorkin has created. After all, why does Jessup bring up Weinberg's name at all? Why does he say it with that inflection? This was a deliberate choice on Sorkin's part.

@johnkalap9314 4 жыл бұрын

@@citizenghosttown whether it was or whether it wasn't, it didn't resonate in the delivery of the line. Why does Jessup bring up Weinberg's name at all? To do so would be perfectly normal. "Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do it, YOU? (He doesn't say "Kaffey" because he is speaking directly to him). ".....you Lieutenant Weinberg?" (He says his name because he is now speaking to him, as if to say, "You, you little rolly-polly paper-pusher?" That's the gist of it, at least in the movie. If Sorkin wanted to paint Jessup as anti-Semitic, it didn't work with that line.

The TV show Pollak describes is "Morton & Hayes," a summer series where he played half of an Abbott and Costello-style fictional comedy team. Each episode had a black-and-white two-reel comedy short followed by the actors in old-age makeup being interviewed. It was a cool series with a lot of guest stars like the Spinal Tap guys, Catherine O'Hara, etc.

I've always understood the line to be Nicholson referring to Weinberg as a weakling, the bullied kid without any power, since that was his character arc during the movie: "I have no authority here, whatsoever." "They tormented and beat up a weaker kid. Why? Because he couldn't run very fast." "I believe every word of their story and think they should go to prison for the rest of their lives." Tom Cruise was fighting the Murder charge, [Not Guilty] Demi Moore was fighting the Code Red - Conspiracy to Commit Murder, [Not Guilty] Kevin Pollack was against the bullying - Conduct Unbecoming a United States Marine, - [Guilty]

I never saw the "You Lt Weinberg?" line as anti-Semitic, but for me it always paired with Pollak's earlier line to Cruise about Dawson and Downey - "They beat up on a weaker kid, that's all they did." Like he was empathizing because he was a smaller, weaker guy too, and that's what Jessup was going after. Interesting to hear Pollak in this interview talk about the anti-Semitic tone of the line. Really good stuff here for me as a big fan of the movie.

I don’t think Jessup’s disdain for Weinberg was as much anti-Semitic (which it was, don’t misunderstand me,) I think it was more because Jessup, a fit Marine officer, was annoyed at the idea of freedom being defended by a short, pudgy Navy officer who, let’s be honest, didn’t look like he’d skipped a lot of meals. Jessup looked down on Kaffee because he was wet behind the ears, had the unmitigated gall to disagree with him, and because he’d successfully avoided, up to that point, ever stepping foot in a courtroom. He looked down on Galloway because she was a female and a feminist, and Jessup looked down on Weinberg not only because he was Jewish, but because he saw Weinberg as being physically unfit to do any “real” military duty.

Frankly, having trained with quite a few former real deal military guys who retired earlier than they originally planned to because of not feeling right about at least partially risking their lives/careers in the hands of those in certain positions they're in, but probably wouldn't be if not for trendy PC social engineering, it makes perfect sense.

@scarface24n 4 жыл бұрын

I never saw Jessup as anti-Semitic and if the character was suppose to be, they did a poor job conveying it. sexist, maybe. I viewed his issue with all the jag officers being part of his distain for the navy as a whole, part of the rivalry between the branches of service. Jessup, being a proud marine, saw the navy as just a support and logistics branch knowing no navy member would ever see front line combat unlike his marines. This being echoed by the lines "he can put up with the bullets but wants respect from the navy guy"- paraphrasing and kiefer sutherland' line "I like you navy boys, every time we need to fight somewhere, you guys give us a ride."

Glad this vid came across my feed. Love to hear stories like this, love this movie, love other Pollak movies. And cool to see he's a Niners fan.

The Mark of a good professional actor is someone who acts just as well when it is another actors close-up! Respect to you Kevin P for coming to the aid of an actor in need!!!!

Exactly. I didn't realize what his character's full name was until I had seen the movie about five times and finally put two and two together...that's how minor his character really was.

Kevin's so good. But what surprised me the most about Jack is his REAL laugh. Totally unlike anything he's done in ANY of his movies. He almost sounds like a little boy giggling. It's in one of the interviews he made about Roger Corman, and Jack is just so humble and real in it - even sheds a tear for how grateful he is to Roger. Just blew me away!

I have not seen this guy for years. He seemed to vanish after 90`s. Great actor.

He does his stand up gig mostly but admits to his love for playing Professional Poker. Always liked Pollak's ability to pretty much do what he wants and when he wants to! As for the Jewish implications....the fact is this was based on a VERY true story in which the solider who was indeed attacked did NOT actually die. How it was all segued into a Play and then a Movie with a far different outcome is another story that I'd love to hear about as well. Cheers Everyone

It's funny how he was comparing his career against Jason Alexanders, making it seem like Jason did so much better. Kevin's been in so many good productions it's insane and I'd say he did much better. Seinfeld was huge, but that's the biggest thing Alexander's been in.

Great story. I read Missouri Breaks turned into a contest between Nicholson and Brando to see who could push their character the farthest into bizarro world.
