I haven't see Nebraska yet, one of the few (2) that were up for best picture that I didn't see yet. I will, it's near the top of my list, but I'm a fan of Bruce Dern also. I remember seeing him in some old 60's tv series and I just looked him up in IMDB and found out that among others, he was in Route 66, Naked City, Sea Hunt, Boris Karloff's Thriller, Ben Casey, The Outer limits, 77 Sunset Strip, Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Wagon Train, The Virginian, The Fugitive, etc. I remember him in Hang 'Em High - he was part of the gang that lynched Clint Eastwood - but he was also in Marnie, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Trip, Will Penny, Drive He Said, Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, King of Marvin Gardens and on and on and on. My favorite role of his was in Hitchcock's Family Plot, a comedy with Karen Black. He must be what now passes for old Hollywood.

Thanks for the suggestion...I'll look for On the Edge - sounds like the kind of movie I like. Good call on your part because interestingly he mentions that movie here. . . You've had success in the past, but I feel quite a few of your movies became popular long after they were in theaters. "Silent Running" became popular after its theatrical run... Well, they didn't get a chance to see it. It opened at the Cinerama Dome in L.A. and before it was "Blue Water, White Death," which was a shark documentary -- and then "Silent Running." Then, two weeks later, they opened "The Cowboys" across the street. Thank you very much. Well, I did them at the same time, going between the two. I don't know, the movie I'm most disappointed that people didn't ever find... well, there's three. One is "On the Edge," a running movie I did. The second is "Harry Tracy," which is a western I did. And the third and the thing that makes me sad the most is " Smile." Nobody discovered it. It never had a play-date in New York City to this day. It just didn't catch on and people didn't go to see it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/13/bruce-dern-nebraska_n_4262637.html
