So, from that point on, I was under quarantine in a hotel in the middle of somewhere in Tennessee, where I think you’d go for witness protection, but there was nothing going on there, and the hotel was on lockdown, so I couldn’t leave.

We had to stay in quarantine for one full week, because somebody did come down, were tested positive, I should say. If you come, these are the rules.Īnd I think because of that, it was very difficult when you’ve got so many people, actors and crews, and you have to be tested the cost of that, one hundred dollars a pop. So, if you don’t want to do it, don’t come. Now you have the option of saying, “You are violating my rights,” then you go home, and somebody else will come in and do that job.
Every other day, someone will stick a cotton swab up your nose, and you will do that every other day. If you’re not an actor, you don’t take it off at all. You have to wear a mask, and you can’t take that mask off until the director yells action, if you’re an actor. It is very dictatorial, based on you take the job, the calls for you to do a particular task, lighting, acting, whatever, makeup, and you’re told these are the rules.

People don’t realize how dangerous making a movie can be, but it is, and it’s one that doesn’t have a lot of tolerance for debate.
I mean, our businesses look different than the rest of the world, because we have not only strong unions, but we have a sense – we know our business is a very dangerous business. There wasn’t anything that anybody could do to stop it. It was very difficult, but that being said, I applaud the crew and the production team and, of course, the cast for putting up with these rules. We were all under a very difficult shoot, because we one of the first movies, if not the first movie, to have to operate under the new rules and regulations from both unions, SAG-AFTRA, and DGA and APSE, and so we were sort of like the test case. Well, of course, Charlene, I knew her from from the old days, but other than Charlene, I did not know the other actors. Suzanne: Were you familiar with any of the cast and crew? I thought, “Oh, it’s a nice theme it’s a different way to do a Christmas movie.” So, I came on, and they did a wonderful job. It was dealing with something that’s current today: soldiers and coming home and some of the angst that they go through. I said, “Yes.” I got the script, and I liked it. So, they were familiar with my work and thought that I would fit the role of General O’Toole. You know, I’ve been fortunate enough to have done a Christmas movie for the last, I guess, four or five years, and I’ve done a couple of them through Lifetime, Oprah, and a few other places, Hallmark. Suzanne: Oh! So, do you find that you don’t have to interview so much anymore? They just call you? Tim: Someone called me, and I said, “Yes.” The old fashioned way. Suzanne: So, how did your part in this movie come about? Don’t miss it because it’s fun, romantic and inspiring. He’s not the star of this Lifetime holiday movie, but he’s an important part of it. He’s a brilliant person and activist as well as actor and filmmaker.
I just loved him in those first two series, so I made sure to watch him after that. Brown in “Simon & Simon,” Ray in “Sister, Sister,” Bishop Jeffries in “Greenleaf,” or his many other roles. Most people are probably familiar with his work through his many roles, starting with Venus Flytrap in “WKRP in Cinncinnati,” or Lt.
