Thank you for sharing this video. I had the pleasure of randomly meeting Robert Easton at the Bookman bookstore in Orange. He was buying a huge stack of books.
I had known Mister Easton. For ,10years I use to go to the golden boot awards and I sat next to him all the time . We had a table .every year . Very nice man.and his wife too.
I had seen him on so many roles as slow-talking Southerners that I assumed he was just that and no more...I was shocked to find out how versatile he really was. He was a genius!
I had the good fortune of being both a friend and colleague of Robert. I got to direct him at the SPERDVAC convention in 2008. It was a reenactment of an OTR series Suspense, the episode was Mission Completed. We had an amazing cast Chuck McCaan, June Forey, Jack Grinage (Ron Updike from the Night Stalker series) and of course Robert. He played a 'Japanese man named "Suki'. It was like arranging diamonds, it was 'fool proof' casting. Anyways, over the following years as Robert and I tackled other projects together, he would love to call me and as 'Suki'. I miss him so much. He was kind, gentle, caring, and one of the smartest men to leave foot print on this planet. He and I spoke for hours about the Civil War. Encyclopedias would be a weak comparison to his knowledge. If you look up Charles Kuralt The American Revolution here on RU-vid, you will hear Robert voicing many of the characters, including George Washington. I miss you Robert, your fans still love you!
Thank you Timothy K. , Robert was a role model for me. I have studied his work for years and have tried on a very small way to help others with their language and dialect. I wanted to meet him but unfortunately did not have the opportunity. He was the master. I am now reviewing Mr. Kuralt's work on the American Revolution.
Enjoyed watching this so very much ! Ms Chauvin is truly a gifted interviewer & the late great Mr Eastman was an incredibly talented & fascinating man. I could listen to the two of them all day long ! Thank you so very much for uploading this gem of a video ! Cheers ! 🙂
I just saw him on Gunsmoke as Chester's brother Magnus. I wish they would have capitalized on his character and make Magnus a recurring one. He was definitely good!
Knew this guy from Stingray. I was so sad when I heard he died. They did a big documentary about Gerry Anderson's shows two years ago, and thankfully they found some unreleased footage of him talking about his work on the show, and doing some of the voices he did. It was kinda nice.
I remember him on an episode of Andy Griffith. He was the guy with the long eyelashes. Batting them at Miss Ellie. Another guy was showing off his muscles. And another guy wriggling his nose at her.
Yes!! I literally just saw the episode! It's 9:06 a.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2020. That episode was on from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. In fact, that's why I'm here!!
What a horrible host ,she introduces Mr.Easton who we are here to see and hear from and this person goes on her stories and poor Mr,East,the guest has to sit there and do nothing.
