During or just after the filming of Sgt. Pepper, Dee got me a meeting with Dino De Laurentiis; Dee had suggested to Dino that he might want to see me about a part in his next film. I said, âIâm not doing another movie right now.â But we went in and thereâs Dino De Laurentiis, and he said, âDo you think you can do a New York accent?â I said yeah, probably. He said, âWould you be interested in this part?â The film was King of the Gypsies and I said no.
I could feel the anger from DeeâIâm turning down Dino De Laurentiis. And this was my first major stand. Iâm saying no. I did want to do some acting, but on my own terms. I wanted to choose what I would do.
I wanted to learn to act. I got the bug. Orion Studios had just formed, with Mike Medavoy at the helm. I went to a meeting at Orion while we were filming Sgt. Pepper, and I sat down. Iâm at one end of the table, Mike Medavoyâs at the otherâand itâs a big, big table, a lot of people. They offered me a three-film deal, and I thought that was great because now I could get involved; I could hopefully choose what I could get my teeth into. I was so nervous at that meeting because this was a big deal. Well, that deal I wouldâve taken, but it disappeared as soon as Sgt. Pepper came out.
I was still in LA doing reshoots, and I walked into a restaurant, and James Garner was in the entrance. He came running at me and says, âOh, Peter, Peter, itâs so nice to meet you. I gotta get your autograph for my granddaughter.â I said no problem, no problem. And he says, âOh, thanks so muchâgood kid, good kid,â that kind of thing. Iâm going wow! Heâs one of my favorite actors. He was the nicest guy. You hoped he would be, and he was.
We sat down at a booth. I look over and thereâs Robert Conrad. I was a huge fan of Baa Baa Black Sheepâwhich was later retitled Black Sheep Squadron, because no one knew what âbaa baa black sheepâ meant. Itâs about war planes, not about sheep. I loved it; it was just a great show. So I went over and said, âExcuse me, Iâm a huge fanâmy favorite TV show is Baa Baa Black Sheep.â He said, âYouâre kidding me!â
He said to sit down, so I did, and I said, âDo you think thereâs any chance that I could have just a walk-on part, play some bit part on the show?â And he said, âYou want to do that?â I said, âAbsolutely! Itâs my favorite show.â So he said, âLet me see what we can do; Iâll talk to the producer.â
I went home; I was finally home from shooting the movie, and a script arrived from Black Sheep Squadron. I opened it and it said your character is so and so.
