Help Sunday, July 27, 1997 Good as Gould Humble star is endearing himself once again to Edmontonians By JEFF CRAIG
Express Writer It's been said that movie stars have something the rest of us lack - beyond the obvious good looks and good fortune.
Oscar-nominated with a long-established, international fan base, Elliott Gould clearly has that something. But it's more than the glint in the eye suggesting that he harbors a juicy secret. It's more than the legacy of creating the role of Trapper John in M*A*S*H or Marlow in The Long Goodbye; having been the executive producer of Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) - or even having been the first American actor to star in an Ingmar Bergman film.
It's more likely his spirit, which had him in the hallways of Edmonton's Allarcom studios, making young female production assistants blush at compliments and his even younger co-star self-conscious about attempting some time-honored ballet moves. Or playing, with the same co-star, vigorous between-takes rounds of Frisbee in the cavernous studio that was once home to SCTV. Friday, Gould wrapped a week-long filming of the pilot for a children's TV series called Mentors. The episode, created by city writer Josh Miller and directed by Alberta film veteran Arvi Liimatainen, is entitled The Genius. | |
