[Tigers] Get Smart Preview

[Bill Waite]

I second Stephen's comments: I think he is perfect for the role and from the trailer I have a hunch it is going to be a big hit.  It will be interesting to see if the Tiger (or Alpine?) gets a more than passing role in the film.  It is really unusual that they would go back to the "original" vehicle, as the auto companies are usually willing to pay big bucks for product placement of new vehicles in current movies.

the incredibly dry wit and humor that are the core of Maxwell Smart.
Have you ever watched him in a talk show interview... That's him in
real life, not the disfunctional charactors he plays in "The Office" or
many of his other movies. Big time actors get paid big bucks because
they can act in rolls other than what they are in real life. He'll do
fine so long as the script is done correctly. By the way, the Sopranos
are not real gangsters. ;)
