clutching Atti tude even after the inquisition Why is he doing a sitcom some one that what i do for a in a professional meat is is Mitchum insightful nobody asked and Why Hast he done a series before nobody Ever asked in All these years nobody Ever asked Mitchum to do a to series i he said his last comedy role was the grass is and when was that i have no he clearly coming up with that answer would require a change of when asked about his most memorable Mitchum told a Story that seemed designed to emphasize this aspect of his it was a picture called mid he the producer called and asked would i

was May and i thought supposing we had one of those miraculous Early Summers in califor Nia and ill be stuck there on an aircraft Carrier when i could just As easily be Here on a summery so i said that i didst think i could handle so then he called Back and said what about playing Admiral Hal sey and i said How Long is and he said its one Day in i said you got Mitchum said it was just this aspect of his character that led him to make a decision he is quite Mitchum makes his tvs eries debut this Spring As a homeless Man in regular Happy turning Down the title role in i had just returned from Spain and i didst really want to go right Back there and do Mitchum and i knew something about and they had All this left Over second world War hardware in Spain and i thought they just drag it Back and Forth in front of the write off whatever it on their Stock and completely forget about the character of George Pat who was really a remarkable i thought that if they would get somebody who

dangerous and suspicious charac Ter with no visible Means of sup they had a ready answer for the homeless they gave me 180 Days on the Chain that How they dealt with it then in Chatham i had just left Home because there was no room at the not enough to go i thought i might alleviate the situation if i made myself i for a time at the expense of the taxpayers of Chatham although i think it Cost them 38 cents a Day to feed and House you at that time and they rented you out for a that was the answer to the Home and whats Mitchum answer to the homeless situation i think its very difficult because they Are All individual he we have Learned a lot of them Are mentally unstable people who Sim ply cannot fend for and in sure there Are the general professional indolent and there Are people who Are victims of other i dont think that there is any Blanket system of housing or redirecting the lives of the homeless in per it is an immense and i think that it has to be addressed through efforts in individual for a few moments As Mitchum answered questions like the gearshift engaged and you realized that there was an incisive mind behind those thick glasses and Beady a mind that carved out a
