why be sorry when I'm sure you're not the only one wanting to get in line to clean Nick up. I'll even hold up the towel that will shield you, Nick and me from everyone else :devil:

BTW, I did get to see Kach (aka George Lookalike) at drill again. I didn't tell him what I observed (i.e., he looked like a shorter, stockier, lighter-haired version of GE), and I don't think I ever will. Also, any inappropriate comments (e.g., I bet you'd like to do hand-to-hand combat with him) will be met with either a Gibbs slap or Vulcan nerve pinch (I've seen the smilies, so I know there has to be a few Star Trek fans on here).
Someone was asking about the Evel Knievel movie in the Ward, and in some searching I came across this Q&A with George about it from 2004. I'm sure it's been posted before, but probably not for a while.
From TNT.com....
Q: Why are people fascinated with Evel Knievel?
A: With this movie, we are concentrating on a window of his life in the late '60s through late '70s. It was the perfect time for that kind of entertainment. It was a time when America was in need of a homegrown hero. Evel Knievel was from the working class town of Butte, Mont. It was a time when there was so much turmoil going on, with troops losing their lives in Vietnam, but Evel challenged death. When people asked him if he was scared or afraid of dying, with a wry smile on his face he said, "I don't get scared. I'm Evel Knievel." He was the gladiator that everybody identified with at that time. I think it was also the train-wreck theory: A lot of them wanted to see him make it because they loved him, but a lot of them were there to see a really badass wreck.
Q: How do you relate to your character, Evel Knievel?
A: I grew up in a working-class town with a population of about 8,500. I certainly identified with that smalltown attitude of really wanting to broaden my horizons and get more out of life. I knew that Evel was from a small town kind of like mine and I really felt like I identified with that need to get out of there. Evel Knievel was very prominent when I was growing up. We loved Evel Knievel. We went as far as putting the playing cards in our bicycle spokes. I would get a small hand towel and make a short cape out of it. Evel Knievel was a part of our consciousness. He was a hero to all of us kids. Especially with the toys, you felt like you had a piece of Evel Knievel. Some guys had a teddy bear; I had an Evel Knievel action figure.
Q: In telling the true story of Evel Knievel, how important is recreating the jumps?
A: TNT has chosen to recreate the jumps down to the detail. We're not using stock footage. We actually recreate one of his first jumps in Butte when Evel had a harebrained idea that he was going to jump over some wild cougars and snakes. On that day, we brought in two cougars and about 45 snakes. Back in the day, Evel Knievel started jumping as a challenge in a bar. He went outside the bar, rolled over a Volkswagen Beetle on his Harley and jumped the guy's truck. As he progressed to his daredevil stage, he was jumping on specially designed bikes, but they weighed 1,000 pounds. It took a lot more courage and a lot more grit than any of these young guys are doing on their motorcycles today. We are also doing a lot with special effects and CGI. A lot of people are familiar with the footage of Evel jumping. We are going to have these jumps digitized down to the exact way that it was done.
Q: What type of motorcycle training did you do to prepare for this role?
A: I have ridden motorcycles all my life, but I had never been taught how to ride properly or the professional techniques on how to be in control of the motorcycle. I spent about 16 hours with a personal trainer on a motorcycle, and I made a vast improvement. Because I am playing a character that is a professional motorcycle rider, I wanted to make it as believable as possible. I went to lengths to make sure I got that right. Old bikes are temperamental. They cut out a lot and they have gas leaks. They're difficult to work with and they're not easy to ride because they're not as smooth as today's bikes. It's a bit of a challenge.
Q: Where is the drama in EVEL KNIEVEL?
A: I think the drama in EVEL KNIEVEL stems from the idea that the human spirit can be very defiant. You could tell Evel he couldn't do something, and it just made him want to do it that much harder. After the Snake River jump, he tried 13 buses at Wembley in England. He missed the jump and he broke his pelvis. Yet five months later, against all the odds and against everyone telling him he shouldn't do it, he jumped again. It was one of the most beautiful jumps I've ever seen him make. It was absolute poetry. It was perfect.
Q: What is it like to wear the iconic Evel Knievel suits?
A: When I first put on the white suit, it was like a sack of potatoes. It wasn't really fitted to me, and it really looked kind of silly. But the minute that they started nipping and tucking and form fitting it to my body, it really started to take on this superhero type of feeling for me. The suit was the first step in helping me to become Evel Knievel.
Q: How did Evel Knievel get his name?
A: It is a true story that Evel Knievel got his name while he was in jail with the town drunk, Awful Knoffel. The police officers were reading out the role call to see who was in their cells, and Knievel and Knoffel were together. The jailers made a little joke that they had Awful Knoffel and Evel Knievel.
Q: What motivated Evel Knievel to do what he did?
A: I believe he did it for the American public and for the love he had for the everyday man. He was a source of entertainment for the blue-collar man. We all know what fear is. That is a common denominator between everyone in the audience. He was flamboyant, with the blonde hair and the boisterous attitude. People could hate him for that, but, when he was in the air, there was one consciousness. I think that everyone loved him universally at that moment. He appealed to the side of all of us that's very scared of dying. This was all pure instinct. Everybody has a little bit of Evel Knievel in themselves.

I got question about George Eads. I went over at IMDb at George's site. They put out Live Chat! or Billy Mays or Ted Casablanca and they said, George is not straight, you can PM me if you can explained it to me. I know George and Monika are engaged. I don't remember reading about George being not straight. I think they got the wrong George or something.
People on that site and said, they don't understand why you didn't put the live chat! about George on this site. George said, he didn't hang out with Jorja and Eric much and I know he is best friends with them. He see them 7 days a weeks and 24 hours a day. He don't see them much outside work. Can you explained that to me? Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoy George's work.

I'm going to let the mod's answer this, but as for the live chat that George did, it was posted here in Texan Charm. A link was posted.

Christmas Angel, regarding your first question, please refer to this section of the guidelines listed in the Help Guide located at the top of the LV forum.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but a link to the chat transcript was posted here.
If you have any other questions or need further clarification, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!
George has confirmed that he is engaged, therefore that is appropriate for discussion here. The rest is not.

Thank you snowkey. Don't worry, I won't said that again. Thank you for being in the chat live. I didn't know nothing about that in Nov. I miss it. I know the rule, don't talk about actor's private life and I won't do that to him or her.
The one that on the chat live about George doesn't hang with Jorja and Eric outside of work.

I just think he means in the present tense. He hung with them before, but things change over the years and you don't 'hang out' all the time. I know he hung with Gary a lot, but not so much now.
Everyone's lives change and I don't hang with people I used to, there's really no time. Trying to make plans takes weeks, sometimes. :lol:
So, again, I believe he is talking more in the present, regardless of what he said in the past, because that's the past. He did then, but not much now.

I'm still tickled pink that he answered one of my questions. That was a thrill for me! I asked what his plans were for when CSI was over.
