Joe Pantoliano interviews Dr. Dean Brooks, the former Superintendent of the Oregon State Hospital from 1955 to 1981. Brooks participated in the film "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" when the producers cast him as Dr. Spivey and shot the film at the hospital in Salem, Oregon during the mid-1970's. Brooks talks about how he started in psychiatry, became involved with the film, and what he learned about acting from Jack Nicholson.
No Kidding? Me Too! (NKM2), founded by Joe Pantoliano, is a non-profit organization who's main purpose is to stomp the stigma that surrounds brain disease. Visit www.nkm2.org.

I've always loved the way Brooks and Nicholson played that first scene together. Brooks' face after McMurphy's beaver quote is priceless and it would seem he was not 'acting' at that moment. lol

Nicholson has this ability as an actor to elevate other characters.

Ninety two, and he still has that great head of hair, I’m jealous.

What a nice man, kind and honorable. When I first saw the movie, I could tell he was a real doctor and not an actor.

I realised too, he was so natural and then I Googled it.

Magnificent. The office intro scene was full of ad-hoc elements. Banging the desk for a fly, referring to the fishing photo, asking permission to smoke - all of those were off-script. ART

I completely agree with him that everyone should have a right to "be saved", and to not put people in prison who are mentally ill, prison does nothing to help mental health

He is acting more like the Dr. from the book on this video than he did in the film.

I used to live right next door to that hospital. I was told we needed to stop playing tennis at the court because folks get out from time to time.
