Payback
Lt Myron talking to Griff and the guys
Picking up several months after episode #20 left off, we follow Ruiz, Percell, McKay, and Grinder as they experience the trials of readjusting to civilian life – and the physical injures of the latter two. Simultaneously we witness the deterioration of the situation in Nam through the eyes of Anderson, Goldman, the increasingly troubled Doc Hock, and Taylor – culminating in the murder of Sergeant Hannegan by a disgruntled American Soldier. We leave this season with vignettes of our guys, setting up the possibility of the further exploring their situations.

Q&A with Randy Reinholz
Spud is the construction worker who takes Tony out on a date
to
meet Billie Jean in Payback
HUM90: How did you get the part, was it originally
going to be a larger part in season 4?
R.R : I had auditioned for the show many times - I was close, but they
didn't know how to use me in the show. During this audition, there was
actually an earthquake - small - while I auditioned. It was an extremely
nice group of people putting the show together.
HUM90: What was Tony Becker like to work with?
R.R : Tony was great.
He had a wonderful dog with us the whole day
of shooting. That dog would do anything Tony told him to do.
Tony
drove me to the sets and made me feel like I was part of the crew - as if he and
I had always been friends. He is a smart actor.
HUM90: What were the
ladies like to work with?
R.R : The women in the scene were delightful. Just out of school
and really professional
HUM90: How long did you spend filming.
R.R : We shot one day
HUM90: Where was the construction site scene filmed?
R.R : The outdoor scenes were shot at a construction site - it was close
to the last day of shooting and the writer directed the show. Tony would
have some ideas about how things might be shot and then we did the shoot.
HUM90: What about the Bar scene?
R.R : Can't remember much about the bar scene - maybe in
Chatsworth?
I know we were at a studio somewhere.
HUM90 : What memories do you have about your experience?
R.R : My memories are just that it was an extremely professional group of
people, that seemed liked they genuinely like each other and respected the work
they were doing.
They knew these were tough stories - young men in an
unpopular and brutal war. They knew they represented people who had been
treated so unfairly - and yet they deserved dignity on screen.
HUM90: What are you doing now, still acting?
R.R : I am now a university professor at San
Diego State University and
Artistic Director of Native Voices at the Autry - a Native American Theatre
company.
HUM90 : Thank you very much for your time.
R.R : Thank you , It was nice to be remembered.
