You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open, and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point. ↗

I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe. ↗
