In 'Fletch' I practically winged it. They can't make any of these talented young actors Fletch. He is cynical about the direction television and movies have taken. There are very few solid family films. Outside of family, Chevy counts Martin, Short , and Paul Simon as his best friends.
Entertainment is a tough, highly competitive business.
I really disliked the self-absorption and solipsism of the actors I met at first. It took me twenty years of making movies to learn how to do it. His career has had its share of flops. In 1993 he launched his own talk show on Fox, designed to compete with Leno and Letterman. It lasted five weeks.
