Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to screenwriter Ethan Lawrence about his screenwriter father Anthony Lawrence, who might be one of the most prolific film and television writers in the history of the Writers Guild with close to 500 credits to his name. From Elvis films like Roustabout to biopics to series like Outer Limits and Bonanza to sci-fi cult favorite The Phoenix, Lawrence career spans five decades. Believe it or not, he’s still writing short films and novels today.
Ethan talks to us about growing up with his four siblings in Palos Verdes and later Ojai, California and spins yarns involving everyone from Shelley Winters and Kurt Russel on the set of the John Carpenter Elvis TV movie, to doing karate with Chuck Norris as a kid, hanging with actor Judson Scott at his house as The Phoenix imploded and the anything goes insanity of spending summers at the Manitoba ranch of hockey legend, The Golden Jet, Bobby Hull.
If shows like The Sixth Sense with Cary Collins, The Planet of the Apes TV series or Hawaii 5-0 with Jack Lord mean anything to you, you must take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
