Personal Quote:

[about the real way to stop a runaway train, as opposed to what was shown in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)] What [Martin Balsam] does in the film, when he sets up all that paraphernalia to defeat the Dead Man's Switch, that's all Mickey Mouse. That's not the way you'd do it. And I still don't know to this day how it's done. See more »

Trivia:

With his wife Carolyn, he helped co-found Deaf Theatre West. He then went on to found the Free Arts Clinic For Abused Children. See more »
