i love u Lee, im 55 yo guy who grew up watching your shows and youre simply part of my (and millions of other 70s kids) life soundtrack. Good to see youre in a good place.
Lee Majors is in a leage of his own. Great to see him talking about his shows. Great guy.
Yeah, he thinks he's 'mister big stuff!!' Was a real jerk to his co-stars.
I would really have loved to see what he’d be like as Joe Buck. And I’ve always heard his female costars loved working with him…no one gets along with everybody. So what? No one cares. But starring with Dustin Hoffman? That would have been so cool.
Lee majors is one of the greats, a real hero to me growing up, and i still love him
He stole my heart back when Big Valley was made.
Like seeing an old friend.
Lee Majors was a great actor . His work as a bionic man created great memories.
It's nice to see that he has looked after himself, grown old gracefully, no signs of silly plastic surgery.
Good on you Lee.
I'm not sure about NO plastic surgery...😶
Maybe a touch up here or there, but he still looks like himself. Not a Kenny Rogers or Wayne Newton type of total makeover...
he reminds me of James Garner. Real down to earth men...in spite of their fame in Hollywood...real gentlemen
Handsome.
Insightful.
Lucid.
Ageless.
And, man, what a soothing, fatherly voice!
Lee Majors is a Legend.
Lee Majors is from my hometown in Middlesboro KY. He donated a new high school football stadium here several years ago. A great humble gentleman.
He didn't donate anything. They named the field after him, that's it.
@@JasonRyanWilson Apparently the college must have thought a lot of Lee Majors if they named the field after him. js
Whether LM donated money or didn't still quite an honor for Lee.
He's my hero but I watch a ket show interview with him with a gournalist who's husband was a major 🐎 farm breeder she did a jreat interview with him but he said that when he came to visit ky he'd let his beard grow out and his hair and we're a baseball 🧢 hat I couldn't believe what he was saying people in ky I was so proud that he was raise 45 miles from my town I know people can get to you. But a actor lives in our dreams so you need to love paparazzi and your home town because that comes with that career along with all them millions still love him but he's Hollywood now not country 💔
@@terrihilder8217 The point Jason stated was Lee didn't donate it. There's not coming back saying either way whether he did or didn't it's an honor for him. Regardless, the OP suggested Lee PAID for it. He did not. No need to change the goalposts of discussions to make your opinion fit.
@@vincef.5378 Lol I couldn't care less what your opinion is. My comment stands. It's a public message board. You can be mad, glad, Happy or sad about it. You get back with someone nine months later to talk about that I "change the goalposts of discussion to make your opinion fit." Sounds like you have a you problem bud. That's my opinion. Not my problem that you don't like it. smh lol
I've been a fan of Lee majors for almost fifty years. He is and always will be number one to me!!!!
What kid in the 70s didn’t love the six million dollar man! He was my hero!
6 million dollar man was great i watched as a young kid...Fall Guy was the coolest show of the 80's in my opinion...
Lovely man....l love men !
I liked Jody she had a hot body.
@Trevor Rogert you can find episodes on youtube... The Fall Guy, Different kind of a show but I enjoyed it... He's a stunt man who is also a Bounty hunter... Lee sings the opening song, And has a cool Truck... And he doesn't do everything in slow motion...lol...
He may not have Jon Voight's Academy Award but at least he fought Bigfoot
Hugh Jass
Nah...he fought Andre The Giant...more legend than Bigfoot. 😁😀😎
And Fred theRobot aka John Saxon. The Greatest fight scene. Man-Machine vs Remote Man-Machine.
Oh I love the episode and I haven't seen it since it originally aired. I remember it fondly.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Go to NBC.com, they have every episode of the Six Million Dollar man and Bionic Woman.
R.I.p. Andre the giant
why can't all actors be like this guy? Absolutely no ego, makes me want to watch all episodes of t"the Fall Guy" over again.
+Greg Roshon Hopefully...they'll upload all the episodes of The Fall Guy at putlocker.is
Greg Roshon he was cool as fuk in Fall Guy one of my fav progs growing up.hes had a great career.kind of sad to see him getting old but heh thats life
Greg Roshon .. I did...It was great Television
Don't kid yourself, he has an ego
I read comments some time ago that he was a pain to work with. The actors/actresses on The Big Valley all said he was a pain and that he was overly catered-to. Watching the series develop over time I could see how most of the plots featured him. Nick Barkley was cool.
Lee Majors is a LEGEND !
God Bless you sir. A true star .An Icon .An Inspiration XXXXXXXXXXXX
He looks great, and fit!
Always loved *Big Valley*, *Six Million Dollar Man* and *Fall Guy*. Lee Majors was a powerhouse actor back in the day but we get older and typically roles will come less and less. He still looks great though and as he said in the interview it's crazy how years ago a "season" had anywhere from 25-40 episodes whereas today there might be all of *6*! As soon as a new show airs a few episodes they're already advertising the "season finale" and it's just crazy how few episodes there are in a series today versus years ago.
Had so much fun watching the six million dollar man growing up. Great actor. Great show.
Why isn't Lee Majors still acting? He looks great at 74 in this video! Loved the Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy (Heather Thomas). Can't get over how young he looks in his mid seventies. God Bless him. Must have the Clint Eastwood gene.
paulbiggs yes he looks good
He looks his age. Clint Eastwood does not look young either.
@@Michelle-pn9xt right! I was about to say, look at Clint now
Check him and Lindsey Wagner out on the Hallmark channel.
He’d still be looked at as the six million dollar man... tough for a producer
One of my favorite actors of all time.
Jeffrey O'Brien grew up watching him he was good in thise days
He looks great. Seems like a real classy guy.
Lee gave us many, many hours of entertainment. Thank you, Lee.
Lee Majors was humble, worked hard, and lived a solid personal life--he did fine work--did a great film in 69 called
The Ballad of Andy Crocker--great small film--find it and watch it
+Michael Smith Marvin Gaye was in that movie too.
I know, I have a copy, great fllm no one knows about--one of best films Lee Majors did-
Michael Smith yup
Al Czervik I've been married twice sometimes marriage doesn't work. Doesn't make the man a jerk.
Back in 1986, Lee Majors starred in one of my all-time favorite holiday movies called A Smoky Mountain Christmas. Amazing that's already been 30 years ago as of this year since that movie came out! Oh how time flies.
Thanks I'll check it out
Oh Dolly is in it too. Thanks (+) (+) 😊
That was a sweet movie, lee majors was lush in it
He has class and all of his shows were great! He is one of my favorite actors. Thanks for sharing!
Can't believe how great he looks. He seems to have a really healthy perspective.
Always loved Lee Majors.
He is amazing.
Lee Majors was and is a class act who didn’t allow fame inflate his ego, and I’m so glad he has happiness in his personal life at last with Faith his wife of twenty plus years.
God bless him.
Not true. He has a HUGE EGO and treated people badly.
He's so cool! Love this guy!
Lee is a Hollywood icon, who, starred in some of tv's best shows, from "The Big Valley" to "The Fall Guy" and, in between, "The Six Million Dollar Man"...I think, he'll live to 100, and, even beyond, that.
Pure CLASS ! Thank you Lee Majors.
I grew up with Lee majors as well. I still drive 4x4’s to this day because of Colt Seevers. He is truly an American icon
Lee Majors was one the most amazing actors in Hollywood. I love seeing him today.
I see him out walking around now and then. He lives on the same block I do. Nice man.
lee majors was a 70s icon and an 80s icon
Lee Majors was a very charismatic actor, very rare these days.
Well he looks fantastic for his age.....I always liked him....six mill.$ man, was my favorite serie👍👍💕 to watch as a child.
He looks like the age that he is,
So classy!😀
And I must confess, even as a black kid growing up during the 1970's, I sometimes wished he was my father. And my mother and several of my aunts had a major crush on him back then as well.
that might've been awkward at Thanksgiving
Eric Young, hey. No matter the color we are just boys at heart bro....
Love Lee Majors since the 70's 😍😍😍
loved him as Heath ..beautiful...
He raises his eyebrow-and childhood memories come back.
The six million dollar man was Lee majors best TV show.
So true , his voice, brings me back to being a child.
God bless you Sir!
without a doubt, my favorite actor back in the 70's six million dollar man the best, and that run theme i can't get it out of my head, loved that show!!!!!
robert cummings yes but it looks very tame now hehe but we all loved it then times change but the memories last
I was a quick sprinter when I was in primary school NZ in the 70's and played winger in our rugby team, Steve Austin was my hero in those days and always looked forward to the show on a Friday night . Lee Majors aka Six million dollar man you inspired me ,most respect. I am now 54.
He is still the Man.
Beautiful man.
My childhood golden memory Mr..Lee major...❤
The Big Valley was a great TV show
The Big Valley was the definitely the best of the 3 in my opinion.
John McGowan That along with BONANZA was one the top shows in the '60s
Now this is a leading MAN!!! The Fall Guy was one of my favorite shows in the 80's. I wish I looked half as good as Lee does TODAY!
Lee Major still my hero from when I was a kid growing up watching him on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy. Didn't know to much about him on The Big Valley as I got a little older, still as a kid. Love you Lee Major, you're still the man.
Lee sounds and acts very professionally...... My respect for him !!!!!!!
Such a great actor.
Love all his TV series.
As Lee, The Fall Guy was the best show ever!! I live my life as
Colt even now a days whit ´´My Truck´´ as Colt use to say. Cheers from Brazil!!
Still very handsome..best man Farrah ever met and a true gentleman..awesome as always and always had Farrahs back
Farrah fawcett should have never left Lee bm majors.
To think Farrah left this dude for Ryan O'Neal.
That was Farrah's "big get even" with Lee. Lee was a bit of a "player" when he was with Farrah. Ryan O'Neal was a big name major film star at the time when he and Farrah got together and was allegedly Lee's best friend. When a women does something like leave you for your "best friend" there are two things you know. One, he wasn't your best friend and two, she really has some hate going for you. When Farrah passed away, I loved reading all that nonsense about how Farrah was the sweetest, kindest creature, God ever made. Sure she was.
It's been said nice guys are boring and Ryan O'Neal wasn't any of that and see how that worked for her
@@ursulamullikin4723 Lee Majors set them up. He told Ryan to call Farrah and take her out, since they were getting a Divorce. Later on when people found out he Claimed he didn't think Ryan would actually call her & go through with it.
He chose farrah...farrah didn't choose Lee...I think the woman has to choose not the man
Lee said...pick you up at 7 for dinner
Ryan said...she's married want to go on a date
Farrah chose
LEE MAJORS REMINDS ME OF ELVIS!
When he was younger, Lee majors looked like a blonde Elvis b Presley.
I miss those shows like $6m man, they don't and can't make like before.
Sylvia S - No.. They can't. That's why they tried to make a new bionic woman in 2009 I believe and I thought it would be great with CGI effects and all but it was terribly done. There was no trust between the characters, the story was weak and the special effects, save for one or two scenes was horrible.
The running and jumping scenes back in the 70's was better than most of what you see today.. Pathetic.
Today shows are cancelled Soo fast there second ratings drop. It makes you not even want to bother getting hooked on a show because they're just itching to drop it.
I heard they were look to cancel Buffy after the third season which is about the time that cancelling nonsense started.. But they gave it one more shot which made it become one of the best series ever on TV.
Sylvia S we all miss those type of showx
Sylvia S remember the action figure with the rocket?
No no we have stupid reality shows gay lesbian shows black and white marriages on TV we're messed up it's our fault because we're watching it
One of my favorite actors. Been watching him since I was a little girl.
Lee Majors, what a True Gentleman, what a Legend!
Il a su rebondir après la mort de ses parents dès l enfance. Bravo. Qd je sortais de l école le samedi midi j étais au rendez-vous pour voir chaque épisode de l homme qui valait 3 milliards c était que du bonheur. J étais heureux de le retrouver ensuite pour fall Guy l homme qui tombe à pic quelques années plus tard, il a bercé mon enfance ça s oublie pas, j aimerais bien le rencontrer un jour pour le lui dire. Il y a de grandes vedettes de cinéma et de grandes vedettes de la télé et il en fait partie comme Robert Conrad, peter falk, William shatner etc... merci pour ces bons moments de mon enfance Mister majors.
Steve Austin was my childhood hero. The 6 Million Dollar man was my favorite show and I got really bummed one night when it was cancelled. In fact, I was such a huge fan that I would tell strangers my name was Steve.
Lee Majors still looks Good wow this man is Gorgeous .I Love watching him .I'm 50 now and he still looks young too me .
I'm 53 years old. But it seems like the big valley and the six million dollar man were just yesterday.
I wish I can be like him and LOOK like him when I'm his age. Great actor, great person. I grew up watching the Big Valley and the , Six Million Dollar Man!
Happy 80th Birthday Lee Majors
Lee majors shares his birthday with Valerie bertinelli and Joyce de Witt.
I loved the big valley my favorite show. Loved all the actors.
Nice interview. Funny when Fall Guy came on I was in high school and 6 mill man was when I was a kid (loved it!). When you can say that and look at Lee you realize how short life is. Look at your favorite actors now and when you say they look old look in the mirror because you probably are too.
Life is short indeed, well said
He is so great.
We love Lee! 💪
such a great actor, i love his distinct voice and his physical profile , i love hearing lee talk about the past and his hollywood days, the 6m dollar man inspired me as a kid in the 70s
Your the man Mr Majors respect to you.
Unlike Tom Jones,who has been dining out on the fact he was a friend to Elvis Presley,Lee never mentions it. Mind you,he's probably never been asked. He was even on Elvis' football team.
cliffedward nothing to do with him being a great singer, had plenty of hits, still going strong today, all because he knew elvis, yeah rite.
great interview! I almost forgot about how much I loved watching six million dollar man and Fall guy growing up!
I have seen all the episode of six million dollars man!!He still looks great!!So down to earth!!
Lee. Majors. Forever. ❤️
Lee Majors is my favorite actor.
Admire him for years
My childhood hero of the 70s! Love you, Lee!
I loved six million dollar man Lee majors has never had the recognition he should have had seems such a nice genuine fella still looks good now wish him all the very best legend and class act
Never lost his looks, God bless him❤
I remember watching Big Valley and Heath ( lee Major's ) was my favorite !
I watched 6 million dollar man I watched because of him .. Fall Guy Once Again because of him !
I remember when he And Farrah were together And a beautiful couple they were but something always seem to not fir it seemed like .
Lee Obviously is a very humbling Type man very solid when he speaks .
Alot of integrity he seems to Carry with him !
Perhaps the best movie character for him would be just who he is !
He stayed fit thru Life and Obviously he lives well to ! God bless you sir !
When Majors said that he did his own stunts it made me think of the response Roger Moore gave to a reporter in 1977 who asked him if he did his own stunts, Moore replied "of course I do my own stunts, I also do my own lying."
Exactly, Majors was doubled all the time on all the shows he did
Really? Hahaha Fantastic! 😛😍
love lee majors; and you can catch him on Dallas as a corrupt guy. Still Great Actor.
Very humble and great iconic, TV actor one of the greatest of all time
He's a legend.. I grew up with his TV series... awesome - hope he has a cameo in 6 billion dollar man!
I'd just shut up and let Lee talk if I was there
Lee what a cool man 👍🏻
What a great guy! Great actor too. He needs to get some good roles now even though he's older. I saw him in an episode of Walker Texas Rangers. So outstanding!
Legend 😎
Love it!!!
he still looks pretty good👍 I still remember seeing him in that little drive by store/ restaurant in dulzura cali 😌
And The Big valley and 6 million dollar man he's my hero and it's a beautiful man❤
Good guy.. Really genuine
A fuckin legend, the bionic man was a ground breaking show...
Great actor loved his work.
BIG STAR
From the Big Valley he and Linda Evans are the only surviving cast members.
y
Big Valley was my all time favorite, and yes Lee Major, and Linda Evans are the only two survive. Lee Major was a good time actor. He was so humble.
What about Eugene?
trwent I think Eugene was only in one season. Not sure what happened to him.
@@wildbillharding you
He's awesome
Aged so handsomely. I never knew about him and Midnight Cowboy. That would have been different.
I was about 9 when 6MDM first came on, it was my favorite show and I really loved The Fall Guy ♥
He was my idol as a 7 year old in 1977. All of us having running completions in SLOW MOTION. Now I’m 48 and a Dr
THE FALL GUY, THE BIG VALLEY AND 6-MILLION DOLLAR MAN " WE WATCH ALL THE TIME!!!
