I met Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Maury Chaykin, Carl Weathers and Angie Dickinson... oh, and Andrew Stevens, at the time married to Kate Jackson (of Charlie's Angels fame, son of Stella Stevens). All of them were stars in "Death Hunt", a movie I was an extra in, in the beautiful Rocky Mountains (same area that Brokeback Mountain was filmed, but about 25 years earlier! I think I was paid about $6/hr. for the pleasure!)
I stood beside Maury Chaykin in one scene and he counselled me on how to act better. (Maury Chaykin was the bookie in "Owning Mahoney").
In those days at least, the typical amount of a day's work that actually went to film was about 1 minute. Therefore, there was a lot of sitting around and waiting. I remember being very bored and staring off into space in the direction of Lee Marvin and him saying to me "What are you looking at??" He was a little crusty to say the least!
