Actor Kurtwood Smith Interview, 1x1 W KRISTIAN HARLOFF -

On this episode of 1x1 WITH KRISTIAN HARLOFF, Kristian sits down with venerable actor Kurtwood Smith. Smith is entering his fourth decade as a successful and very well-known actor in Hollywood. He’s most known for playing Reginald ‘Red’ Forman on “That ’70s Show” but he leapt into film goers consciousnesses with his work as Boddicker on ‘Robocop’ and Robert Sean Leonard’s Dad in ‘Dead Poets Society’. Smith actually touches on working with Peter Weller on Robocop and how Weller approached the character of Murphy. He touches on how he got started in the entertainment business, his experiences working with the late great Robin Williams and he clears up that rumor about his mother being a country singer. This is an informative and relaxed interview with one of the most accomplished veteran actors in the business. Let us know what you thought of this episode in the Comments section below.

He has done so much but for me he will always be Red.

[retrorapmusic]

I watched Robocop when I was a kid and Kurtwood Smith was so great playing Clarence, I couldnt watch any other movie where he played a good guy. I just couldnt comprehend it lol.

[justinlloyd]

Clarence Boddicker is one of the greatest villains in the history of American cinema! Nobody else in the world could have done a better job than this man.

[gokinsmen]

One of the best character actors ever. As usual, the actors who excel at playing assholes on screen are usually the nicest off screen.

[ScottsThoughts]

When I saw Kurtwood Smith as a kid in RoboCop I always quoted his line "bitches leave". I got in trouble a few times with my mom on that one haha. Such a legend! You're a lucky man Harloff!

[TaZzy]

37:30 for the That 70's Show part :D

[Fillmore.Pockets]

"See... I got this problem. Cops don't like me, so I don't like cops." Kurtwood Smith in Robocop was the ultimate badass. His scene with his gang blasting Murphy to pieces is cold blooded. Classic. Another great interview Harloff, salute! Kurtwood the legend, salute!

[boyifyouboomeimaboobooonyall]

This man should live forever. He is not covered in media alot, hes not mainstream, but to me he will always be legendary. And he has a very very good memory, he also seems way younger than 75

[JD]

I always forget that its 2019 and people age. You forget that when watching early 00s content. He will always be Red Forman

[tparm]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! all us 80's and 90's kids needed this.

[tiagocruz]

Great actor. Truly made an impression on me with Dead Poets Society but also killed it with Robocop.

[nolanchapman]

Mr. Smith, it's an honor sir, to watch you, do what you do!so far my favorite roll you play is Red, my wife says I act just like red lol!but every roll you have played has been an a joy to watch you act!Thank you!

[stanleyban]

I have always liked Kurtwood and his body of work. He's a real gem of a guy!!!
👍👍👍

[ericeasterday]

Kurtwood Smith is a very great character actor and I admire him deeply.

[jekw]

Remember when I first saw Robocop and you first see a shot of Boddiker and I thought “A balding guy with glasses! He doesn’t look like much to be scared of!”. By the middle of the movie I was terrified. One of the best villains ever. Best line by far…..”bitches leave!”

[Ochenter]

Really enjoyed watching and listening to both you guys, specially Kurtwood Smith, my childhood fav film Robocop and him are uniquely and brings back goood memories from my summer days at the late 80'S, summer cinema and friends of those wonderful days.

Respect Sir, you are really talented a great actor. Proved to be so on so many movies and that 70'S show.
Please Kristian, do let Kurtwood know about these words of recognition for his acting and work.
Thanks.

[aaronstreitenberger]

These 1x1 interviews are slowly becoming some of the best "entertainment" industry content on YouTube. Excellent work, Kristian.

[residente]

It's never too late to start watching "That 70's show".

[TheConorsmithusa]
