atheisticmystic Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 http://news.yahoo.com/former-sen-fred-thompson-had-tv-film-roles-231012877.html Wielage and I worked with the Senator once (did we do two, Marc ?), and we got the "only address him as Senator Thompson" spiel from the producers. I don't know If Wielage's memory is different, but I recall the Senator being quite cooperative with the wiring process, very professional, and quite gracious. Didn't really agree with his politics, but I thank him for his service. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yeah, we shot two of those "Reverse Mortgage" spots in North Hollywood. Terrible airplane noise. Thompson was very nice and cooperative. Big crane, lots and lots of takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Trew Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Very good man. Honest and considerate with no time for those who aren't (must be in the water). Walked into an instant acting career late in life with serious roles of A-list films just by reading his lines aloud. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Craca Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I worked with him on Capitol Hill a few times in the early 2000's. I remember him as polite and genuine. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
