Interview

PR: They had the campaign with actual pro athletes.

JH: Yeah. Bob Uecker and L.C. Greenwood. Fun stuff. They gave you an appreciation for beer at a very young age. Just delicious.

PR: And did you take what you learned from those commercials into your role?

JH: Into the world of 1960s advertising? Yes, I did. I find that my acting style is filling and it also tastes great.

PR: Here's something for you since you're a sports fan. Peter Marshall, the host of-

JH: The Hollywood Squares.

PR: Right. He has a son who played baseball in the major leagues. You know who it was?

JH: No.

PR: He played for the Kansas City Royals.

JH: Was it Steve Balboni?

PR: No, the Balboni is what you clean up a hockey rink with. I'll give you a hint: His last name was not Marshall.

JH: Was it U.L. Washington?

PR: It was not U.L. Washington.

JH: Was it George Brett?

PR: Nope. It was Pete LaCock.

JH: Really? Is that L-A-C-O-Q-U-E?

PR: No, no.

JH: Just L-A-C-O-C-K . . .

PR: Just the standard spelling.

JH: It's a shame, because I bet he never got made fun of for his name.

PR: No, never. So here's the thing: When you do interviews, people are always like, "Is there anything you'd like to add?"

JH: Free Darfur.

PR: I mean, of course, we have the charitable things that are worthwhile, I suppose.

JH: I don't have any of those.

PR: Nothing political?

JH: Listen, let's not get into that. But I recently saw a list of the third-place candidates in the last several elections, and most of them were Ralph Nader.

PR: He needs to stop.

JH: I think he needs to start.

PR: I think he needs to start not being in elections. What about Ron Paul? Did you like his chances?

JH: I think a Nader-Paul ticket . . .

PR: Naderpaul?

JH: That's a great golf name.

PR: It's also where I would like to spend my dream vacation.

JH: In Naderpaul?

PR: It's incredible.

JH: Hard to get to.
