What an episode this week. Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy, Bad Blood) joins us to talk about how he’s had to learn to slow down and get back to being himself during points in his life when his career was on the rise and he was focused on pleasing others. Coatesy shares fond memories working with Bruce Willis and Kevin Costner, but also remembers other times on set where he had to stick up for people against difficult, rude talent. We also talk about his special relationship with William Fichtner, how doing a Sons of Anarchy rewatch has made him realize the impact of the show, and what it’s like to work alongside his daughter in the new Neon Lights.

@@rosselliswilkinson fits so nicely into Shane Black's "trilogy" together with The Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Two different individuals teaming up against the world😅 It also shares quite a few setting similarities with True Romance, but that is more due to Scott than Black/Tarantino scripts.

I still talk about the last boy scout. It was a great movie, maybe because I watched it in my formative years. One thing is for certain, I may not have always known Kim Coates's name... But I've always recognized this face. For the longest time anytime anyone needed a smart ass henchman, it seems like they called him. And he's never disappointed me. It got to the point in '90s action movies, that it became a disappointment if he wasn't a part of the production. And I'm certainly glad that he has moved on to bigger and better parts. That run on sons of anarchy was legend, and I really do hope to see him in more.

Kim (as Chet) only gets that one scene in The Last Boy Scout before Bruce's character kills him, but he really nailed the asshole antagonist role. Joe Hallenbeck: Can I have a cigarette? Chet: A cigarette? Yeah sure. [gives him one] Joe Hallenbeck: Got a light? Chet: Yeah, got a light. [pretends to give him a light and punches him instead] Chet: Hey baby I thought you were tough. See Pablo, he's no sweat! Joe Hallenbeck: I seem to have dropped my cigarette. May I have another? Chet: [hesitates] Sure, sure thing buddy. [gives him another cigarette] Joe Hallenbeck: I'm gonna need a light. You touch me again, I'll kill ya.

@RobinDale50 Жыл бұрын

And it's all the little nuances that Kim does that makes that character in just 1 scene. All the pauses, glances, reactions. That look of disbelief followed by how he delivers "Sure thing buddy!" just before that last punch that just sends his performance. 2 minutes of screentime and he's one of the most memorable characters in the movie. Kim Coates has always been vastly underrated.

First time I ever saw Kim Coates was on CSI: Miami. He had a recurring role on there as some sleeze having a thing with Horatio Caine's ex-wife, played by Elizabeth Berkley, and son. I think it was only like 3-4 episodes, but he was good. Plus, he was the hired gun in Open Range. Wish he would've had more scenes in that movie.

@calkelpdiver Жыл бұрын

Kim Coates is one of those character actors who you recognize no matter what in a movie, but his portrayal of the character is what matters. You know it's Kim, but you also know he is the character as well. And from this interview you come to know he is a pretty down to earth and cool guy. Would love to be sitting at a table with him and William Finctner just listening to the conversation. I'm starting to really like these "Inside of You" interviews that Michael does. His approach is to just sit there and have a conversation, no B.S. or gotcha. Just an hour or so of conversation about work, life, and general shit. Never a dull moment.

It's like Tim Roth talking about him wrecking a car (one of?) his first movie. I wasn't ever an actor really but I've seen stories like this and been part of a couple scenarios as a crew member. You can palpably feel it that you are going to be fired or, at least, yelled at. As Coates says here, it was somewhat out of his control. Lots of respect for the stunt guy to back him up.
