I’ll have to go with King Arthur, as I haven’t seen any of the others. When I was in the business, I interviewed Klaus Kinski, Max von Sydow, Kurt Russell, Wings Hauser, George Segal, and Rod Steiger, but more often I got the producers, Like Richard Zanuck and David Brown, or George Miller. If I were still doing it, I’d definitely want to sit down with Owen, Rutger Hauer, and a few others.
