Put me firmly in the “Charles Grodin was a great actor” camp. I wasn’t familiar with his Talk show. I’m going to be sure and rewatch Midnight Run in the next couple weeks
I enjoyed this interview including his recollection of the way he and DeNiro would prep for their scenes: https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-a...ord-store-owne
Some of his statements in here could be perceived as self serving. But what I hear is a lot of good listening skills and self awareness, which are building blocks of great acting.
