And that, as it turned out, was to his advantage. Awaiting a call to film a segment for the third episode of the upcoming ABC series about a futuristic police helicopter, Farentino is in his motor home.
His coal black hair is combed straight back from his lean, angular face. He has on tinted glasses. He wears a flight jacket, and beneath that is a "Blue Thun. T-shirt. "I came in rather late, and, to be honest, it was not something I was looking forward to doing," he says.
hate to say these things, but it's true. It was a very heavy-duty deal. Probably the best I've ever had. Money, contract, everything. I think a lot of that's because I came in late.
I said, 'There's my retirment right there." Farentino stars as pilot Frank Chaney. He is essentially the same character Roy Scheider played in the movie, but without the psychological hangups. The "Blue Thunder" helicopter the real star of the show is a 1973 French Aerospatiale Gazelle. The chopper, plus its ground unit van, which is manned by expro football stars Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith, is equipped with all kinds of electronics gear and computers to sniff out crime. And enough armament to stop it on the spot, if necessary.
"This is something different for me," says Farentino, who formerly starred in Bold Ones," Million" and "Dynasty. never done an actionadventure before. It's fun, but it's harder work than I've ever done before. It's got an air commitment and it's got a hit movie behind it, so you say, gee, this is what everybody looks for. You can't do sociological shows all the time.
Fortunately, I've done enough of them. So I'm very happy doing this because it assures me I can go back and do creative things." Farentino emphasizes he is not put putting his new show down. "I've watched enough television to know there isn't anything better, and it won't get any better," he says. an entertainment medium and people want to enjoy it. You do the shows and then I can do my movies and plays and it's a very lucrative deal." Farentino's character of Chaney is the character from the movie, but without the Vietnam quirks.
In the movie, the police hierarchy felt he needed to be watched. The actor says he hasn't quite shaped Chaney the way he wants him. "I think the fourth show will be more what I want him to be he says. "He has in a sense a death wish. He has a very high-risk job.
He's probably, the only one qualifield to fly this machine. He lives a kind of daredevil life. He survived Vietnam, where he lost a lot of friends. He lives this way because he always wonders, 'Why them?
