Interview with Don Jeanes from Transformers: Dark of the Moon
April 29th, 2011 by Gregg Senko
I have spoken with a handful of celebrities over the past few years, but none have been as cadid or relaxed as that of my discussion with Don Jeanes. If you don’t recognize the name, let me fill you in. The guy’s got a fairly lengthy resume’ that includes stage work, television and now the big screen. This summer, you’ll see Jeanes in the role of historic astronaut and first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. During our half hour conversation, we covered topics ranging from from his early days as a struggling actor to working under Michael Bay, and somehow He-Man even got involved.
Solid monster interview Gregg!
I thoroughly enjoyed the free flowing conversation.
You see, it was just as I expected. Michael Bay is not such a bad guy to work with. He knows his action! Looking forward to seeing the final chapter this summer.
Good luck with everything Don and thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat with us.
I think any time people show respect, then get a little intense later on, sometimes others around that person think they have an attitude issue when often it’s just like Don said; Bay has a zillion things to deal with along with millions hanging over his head that he needs to use wisely. Of course he’s gonna get a little hasty now and then to get everybody in gear and sort stuff out.
