We spent a year negotiating the deal. During the entire time my
wife and
my agent refused to tell me who was the other party; they both
knew I'd be
upset. I wanted an actor to play the part. I was very upset. We
visited
the set two, maybe three times. We have photographs with him,
arms around
each other, grinning at the camera. (My son now thinks
they're
hysterical.) For years whenever the movie was mentioned,
friends would
try cheering me up, "Well, at least the checks cleared."
Very
sympathetic. These days, well, no one talks much about
it.
