Forgotten Heroes Credits
William Smith as General Gregori Zelenkov
I would like publicly to state for the record what an honor and privilege it was to work with veteran character actor William Smith.
As a young boy in Everett, Massachusetts, I would watch Bill Smith as Joe Riley in "Larado." Years later, he went on to carve out a great career as the best villain ever to appear on the motion picture screen. Who can forget his biker films in the late 1960's early 70's or his greatest villain ever,"Falconetti," in the hit television mini-series "Rich Man, Poor Man".
In 1986 I had the chance to meet and talk to Bill about the possibility of being in my
first directing effort "Forgotten Heroes" which concerned a Russian General seeking personal and political freedom. I was hoping to have him to play against type and a good guy.
He was very touched by this, and told me I was the first filmmaker that actually created a script with him in mind and to play a good guy to boot! That was something he had been looking to do for years.
Bill was very helpful to me as a first time director, and I loved hearing the stories of his early days in Hollywood. My Dad, who was working on the film as one of the photographers, also enjoyed Bill's company, and they talk of the kind of films Hollywood use to make. Bill brought to the ensemble of unknown actors a camaraderie that made the film a joy to make. Although he appears to be the kind of villain you love to hate on the big screen, in real life he is a true professional - a gentleman with the heart and soul of a warrior poet.
Why the major film directors are not currently utilizing this great actor is beyond me. He would have been brilliant in as a Scot clansman warrior in Braveheart, a Germanic Chief in Gladiator, a Viking Chief in 13th Warrior, maybe an old Jedi warrior in Star Wars - you name the costume epic, his great look and voice would have been an asset to any of these films.
I can't thank him enough for being a friend and teaching me what it means to be a film director.
