In this television moment, which is where his public presence mushroomed out from radio, there were images that were iconic,
He paid a lot of dues to get where he is, and now there are a lot of doors open to him. The one he has chosen to walk through throws down a gauntlet. He has the good luck, the charm and the guts to do what he wants, and this film is what he chose to do.

I do believe he was a guy who could sit down and have a good time, spin a yarn and drain a bottle. People say he wasn't quick to smile, but when he did, it was bright, and he was fully engaged. But at this particular time (when the film is set), they were walking on eggshells and lots of risks were involved. There wasn't much time for frivolity; they were engaged in battle.
