 1. Richard Chamberlain talks about his two recent high tech
and science fiction projects, 'Chuck' and 'Leverage'.



 
 

2. Richard Chamberlain underlines the importance of all kinds
of 'masks' for an actor: in the 'Man in the Iron Mask'
the iron mask was totally terrifying!

                                                                      





3. Richard Chamberlain reminisces about 'Shogun':
'Shogun' was a wonderful experience, I was not about
to screw it up despite cultural clashes between
the Japanese and American crew.






4. Richard Chamberlain on 'The Thorn Birds':
chemistry is impossible to define.






5. Richard Chamberlain commends the series
'Brothers & Sisters'
for treating gay characters just like people.

 
 
 

6. Richard Chamberlain: in all my projects I learn
about myself, in comedy I learn a little more.






7.  Richard Chamberlain about his artwork: sometimes
my paintings have a certain meaning like
'Celestial Ardor' that expresses total
commitment of oneself to life. For a man
 
total commitment to life is in part phallic.
