Jack Coleman interview (6038 words)
Jack Coleman: No. I, certainly, have been set up as the bad guy for the first two thirds of season, but I think there's going to be light shed on both his motivation and his loyalty, which will, I think, broaden everyone’s understanding, of who HRG is and what he's been trying to do.
Jack Coleman: Well, certainly, you bring your own experience to the table, you know, generally, on television, parents tend to be a lot more patient and a lot more interested in every utterance their darling child makes than in real life.
Jack Coleman: Well, one of the things that usually happens is, there’s usually one of the writer/producers is on set, or a lot of -- several of our directors or producer -- and they tend to have knowledge of things that I may not have knowledge of.
Jack Coleman's bio (387 words)
However, Coleman's true brilliance can be measured by the fact that he was considered an extremely unselfish full-forward, who was more likely to kick the ball to a team-mate in a better position than take a shot on goal.
Adding to this, in the era Coleman played, there was only a single field umpire, who was often too far from the play to see the illegal holding and pushing tactics his opponents often employed against him.
Coleman's career was tragically cut short by a knee injury in 1954, forcing him into retirement.
