INTERVIEW DE BRUCE
Posted: Apr 13, 2016

Tony Castleberry: Are you excited to return to Andy Griffith country?
Bruce Bruce: I’m probably the only black person in the world that’s a real Andy Griffith fan and I have to correct people about Andy Griffith because they always say there were never any black people in this emission. There have actually been several times. Only one guy had a speaking role.
I was just watching Andy Griffith last night and do you remember the episode where they had an armored truck bringing gold?
TC: Yeah.
BB:It was like four blacks in the background, watching. And for the speaking roles, a guy who played professional football, I think he played for the New York Jets. (In the episode), Opie was a quarterback and this guy was a quarterback. Opie took piano lessons and Andy told him that it was impossible for him to play quarterback and play the piano because the two were practicing at the same time. They had a new coach come to school and the coach was a black quarterback and he also played the piano. I think his name was Flip Conroy. So I let people know that on Andy Griffith there were black people. I met Andy Griffith about 15 years ago and told him something about it. He said, “Oh my God,
TC: Growing up in North Carolina, one of the first comedy records I ever heard was the one that Andy Griffith put out, I think, in the ’50s called ‘Just for Laughs’. There’s a bit in there called ‘What It Was, Was Football’ which to this day is…
BB: I have this CD.
TC: It’s always one of the funniest things.
BB : Absolutely. I think Andy Griffith is pretty close to a genius and I like the way he created Don Knotts, because I’m a Don Knotts fan too, I look so good, but Ernest T. Bass. Do you remember Ernest T. Bass?
TC: Yeah. Definitively.
BB: He was the show’s director. People don’t realize that Ernest T. Bass was the director of ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ and he only appeared on the show six times. People think he was there all the time but he only appeared six times and all that showmanship and good humor came from him, Ernest T. Bass.
BB: You were on one of my favorite episodes of “Maron”. Was it a fun experience? The episode touched on some racial issues and Marc is known to be, shall we say, temperamental.
BB: Great fun and let me clarify something with you: Marc Maron is probably the best person I’ve worked with in my entire life when it comes to television. He’s not a racist, but he can play the part so well you’d think he was. [Interviewer laughs] After he shot a scene, he was so racist that, I have to give him credit, we started laughing. He was so fun to work with and the episode went so well that I think we’ll do a few more.
TC: Great. You have an imposing stage presence. You seem totally in control up there. Have you ever, or have you ever struggled with confidence on stage?
BB: Everyone does. I don’t have trust issues, but I still have this fear issue and fear is good. It’s a good fear. I think if you ever lose that good fear, you’ve lost it. You know what I mean? I think comedians can get too confident or arrogant or a little too arrogant or a little too conceited, but I still have that fear. Once I get up there and people get me, it seems like it goes away, but it comes back.
TC: I’ve spoken with a bunch of veteran comics like you who have been doing it forever and they say butterflies never really, completely go away.
BB: Oh no. Not at all, man. The biggest thing about any artist, especially comedians, we just want to do good. Do you understand what I am saying? We don’t want to let people down.
TC: When you hosted ‘Comic View’, all of those shows, at least the ones that I’ve seen and I’ve seen a bunch of them, you did crowd work right away. Was that your plan or did they tell you you had to involve the crowd?
BB: It was something they told me because some of the comedians didn’t do it as well. I’m very good at getting the crowd going. Some of the comedians would say, ‘Bruce, bring the crowd back for us’ and I’d say, ‘No problem.’ Sometimes, off the airwaves, I attacked actors a bit. They didn’t show it all on TV, but I’d say, ‘Oh my God, did you do any comedy at the KMart booth?’ [interviewer laughs] You know, just to make people laugh. It’s one of my specialties, working with the crowd.
TC: Are you looking for TV and film roles or have they mostly come to you?
BB: I’m doing an audition. A lot of (casting directors) tell me how awesome I was and then they never cast me. It’s just part of the activity, so what I’m doing now, I’m going to kind of create my own, so to speak. I’m kind of putting together my own thing and then I’ll pitch it to them and then they’ll be like, “Oh great! Let’s use it. ‘
Honestly, there are a lot of great comedians and actors out there. Do you follow what I say? They are really good. Sometimes the parts I audition for, I’m like, ‘I’ll be good at this.’ Then I see the actor do it and I’m like, “Oh, that’s really good. I think they gave it to the right person. But my time is drawing near.
