Harrison Page, Russ Meyer, and The Difference Between Listening and Hearing

TVC 680.3: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Harrison Page, the actor known around the world as Joshua in Lionheart, Captain Trunk on Sledge Hammer!, CPO Robinson on CPO Sharkey, and Niles in Russ Meyer’s Vixen! Topics this segment include how Harrison approached playing Niles when he first read the script for Vixen; why it’s important for every actor to know the difference between listening and hearing every time they take the stage or work; and the success of Vixen at the box office led Meyer to cast Harrison in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, after he had sent Harrison the script for Beyond in advance and asked for his input.
