I wished I could have worked with him. He always seemed cooler than a Polar Bear's toenails. I did get to work with Ben Johnson. Nice guy and another badass stuntman.

He was unable to remember lines, so there were multiple takes spliced together to make the commercial. Sweet guy. And genuine. Seems he was always cast to be himself. I thought he was great in the Grey Fox.
One of his buds was Wilford Brimley, who spoke at his memorial. Very cool that you worked with Ben Johnson. Great screen presence.
We didn't have any other celebrities work for Olympia. Tried to do a promotion with Cassandra Petersen but her husband/manager wanted stupendous money for a very little work.
