Laker Jim's

"Alan Stanwyk"
Tim Matheson (4/22/01)

I sent Tim a letter and he not only sent me an autographed photo, but he also hand wrote responses to the Fletch interview I sent him...What a guy! You can actually see the hand written responses he sent me in the right hand column. Tim's a pretty big star to take that kind of time out for his fans. Thanks.

Laker Jim: What was it like to work with Chevy Chase?
Tim Matheson: Great fun. Likes to improv and so do I.

Laker Jim: What was it like behind the scenes? Any great Stories that stand out?
Tim Matheson: Chevy liked me to try to break him up on his close ups. I succeeded several times.

Laker Jim: Do you ever watch Fletch? If so, do you realize what an impact it has on people?
Tim Matheson: I love Fletch, especially Michael Ritchie the director!

Laker Jim: What do you think of the new Fletch film being made by Kevin Smith (Fletch Won)?
Tim Matheson: Haven't seen it yet.

Laker Jim: How would you feel if he casts Jason Lee or a younger actor to play Fletch rather than Chevy?
Tim Matheson: Fine with me-

Laker Jim: When people come up and talk to you, is Fletch one of the movies that they remember you from?
Tim Matheson: Yes.

Laker Jim: Since Kevin Smith has the rights to all 11 Fletch books, would you be interested in playing your role in a future Fletch movie?
Tim Matheson: Absolutely - would be great fun!

Laker Jim: What is your Favorite Fletch quote? What one do/did you find yourself saying the most?
Tim Matheson: Love 'em all.
