It turned out he was in the insurance business and he wrote policies for a studio. He lived in the Valley, and I rented a car to follow him. “Now, I'm from Florida. When I went through Laurel Canyon, I thought I was in Switzerland. I had-never seen anything like that. I had the top down and was looking everywhere. I thought, “This is about as close to heaven as I'll ever get. This is where I'll live.” Reynolds was in a rare reflective mood during a visit to help publicize the new Tri-Star movie Swtiching Channels. He reminisced about his early Hollywood days. “When I went under contract to Universal, it was like a campus. You could walk across the lot and see all these people who were much prettier than you. Gorgeous guys — they all had names like Race Gentry. In those days the studios put beauty contest winners under contract. You could see Miss Universe and Miss America tripping off to class.” FIGHTS MURPHY All contract players attended classes to learn drama, dance, singing, horseback riding and fencing. Reynolds was in a boxing class and knocked down a smaller actor. “It was Audie Murphy, and he went to get a gun. As it turned out, we became good friends. But I learned never to knock down a Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” The first big break for Reynolds came when Universal cast him in Riverboat, the first TV series in color, Co-star ring with Darrin McGavin was “a little bit like playing tackle opposite Lyle Alzado — you learn to play the game very quickly.” Fired from Riverboat “I'm the only actor who has been cancelled by all three networks” — Reynolds -later appeared as Dan August and on several Mery Griffin talk shows. Johnny Carson invited him to The Tonight Show. Reynolds was warned that Carson didn't talk between commercial breaks, But during the first one, Carson asked, “Do you want to host the show?” Reynolds was host on ten Tonight shows in New York and was called to Hollywood for an interview with director John Boorman about a role in Deliverance. It turned out Boorman had seen him as a talk-show host. “I saw you in command of four people, that’s what you have to do in this movie,” Reynolds recalled Boorman as saying. KEEPS WORKING Reynolds, 52, remains as ambitious as he was while starting out at Universal. “I'm healthy as a horse,” he pro claimed, despite rumors three years ago that he had a fatal disease. Reynolds was off the screen for more than two years before returning with three films: Heat, Malone and Rent-a-Cop. He has great hopes for Switching Channels, with Kathleen Turner and Christopher Reeve. “I was a late comer to the film. I had the good fortune to live across the street from the producer, Martin Ransohoff. When Michael Caine got stuck in the mouth of Jaws IV and TV SHOWS FLOCK TO VANCOUVER By DAVID LANG Canadian Press VANCOUVER — MacGyver jumps his motorcyle over the lip of a dock on to a departing ferry Click. J.J. Starbuck dines in a restaurant overlooking a city skyline . . Click. There's a chase through a darkened warehouse district on Wiseguy . Almost anywhere you turn on the television dial you're bound to run into one of these shows on U.S. prime-time TV — and all of them are shot in the Vancouver area. Nine television series set up operations in British Columbia in the last two years. Four have since been cancelled, but, new shows are preparing to take their places. Hollywood-based Cannell Films has three series currently shooting in and around Vancouver — Wiseguy, seen on CBS, J.J. Starbuck on NBC, and 21 Jump Street on the Fox network. A fourth Cannell show — Stingray — was cancelled about a year ago. MACGYVER HERE Vancouver is also home for Paramount's action-ad venture MacGyver, while the Victoria area served as the backdrop last year for a syndicated remake of Sea Hunt, starring Ron Ely. Those shows are in addition to the B.C.-based Beach combers and Danger Bay on CBC. Three series have been cancelled or are out of production: The Adventures of Beans Baxter, Airwolf II and The Hitchhiker. Steve Sassen, vice-president of Cannell Films Canada, said his company moved north mostly because the exchange rate on the Canadian dollar makes filming cheaper. “We can do an hour of action-adventure television here in Vancouver for significantly less money than we can in Los Angeles,” he said in an interview in his Vancouver office. RAIN OK Sassen says Cannell scouted Toronto and Calgary before settling on Vancouver because of its variety of locations, the availability of crews, proximity to Los Angeles and relatively mild climate. He said Vancouver's rain doesn't hurt shooting schedules. “Rain is not a detriment to the look of film, it actually makes some scenes look better. And the variety of climatic conditions adds a little something to the show.” Cannell’s three series employ up to 450 people at one time and pump about $40 million into British Columbia a year. The studio has been so successful in the province that it's taking up permanent residence, having bought property occupied by a defunct distillery in North Vancouver and starting work on a $4.5-million production centre. The studio, which Cannell will use as well as lease to other productions, is expected to be completed in the spring of 1989 and will include seven sound stages, offices, production support buildings and warehouse space. LIKES SCENERY While Cannell moved into Vancouver to save money, Paramount's MacGyver, starring Richard Dean Ander son, was drawn more by the scenery. Steve Downing, MacGyver executive producer, says his show needs a variety of locations to give it an international flavor but had used up the best Los Angeles exteriors in the series’ first two years. “So we came here and looked. and I saw that within a 30-mile zone in Vancouver we could find many more locations and a lot of beauty that we couldn't find in Los Angeles and a situation where we could tell more stories,” Downing said in an interview. Downing will do 20 episodes of MacGyver this season at a cost of about $1 million a show. UNION DEMANDS He said if MacGyver is renewed for a fourth season the show will likely stay in Vancouver. But he worries about union muscle-flexing. ACTRA, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Tele vision and Radio Artists, is filing a grievance against Paramount for not using Canadian writers, Downing BURT REYNOLDS . . fought Murphy wasn't available, Ransohoff was running around looking for a Richard Dreyfuss wasn't available. A lot of guys weren't available. “I was across the street eating an apple. Ransohoff came replacement over and said, ‘Read this script.’ Twenty-four hours later I was in the lap of Kathleen Turner.” Reynolds intends to maintain the filming pace, directing as well as acting “After all those stupid rumors, I decided just to go back to work. The best revenge is the good life, to be happy and be surrounded by the people I liked most. I worked. I've gotten healthier and happier with each picture.
