Paul Reiser on initially turning down the Legend role, the character’s ties to Paramount Pictures producer Robert Evans, and the DGAF appeal of the Legend’s elder-statesman outfits
Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Throughout his career, Paul Reiser has bounced around movies and TV across an array of genres, and his appearance in The Boys as fan-favorite comic-book character the Legend nods to the actor, writer, and producer’s 40 years in the business.
Speaking on Zoom from Dublin, where he’s currently filming the movie The Problem With People — a “long labor of love” that he stars in, co-wrote, and is producing — Reiser discussed initially turning down the Legend role, the character’s ties to Paramount Pictures producer Robert Evans, and the DGAF appeal of the Legend’s elder-statesman outfits.To be honest, I had not heard of The Boys. I have a very hip 21-year-old son who is very much into the world and the comic.
When you were discussing the character with Eric, did it come up that the Legend is partially based on movie producer Robert Evans? I think they just found pictures of me and tried to match them with what would work with pictures of those people. It took me a minute to realize Carrie Fisher was not Kristy McNichol. They looked kind of the same for a few years. And I knew Carrie, but I went, I don’t know who that is. But they were well done. Sometimes you see them in shows, and it’s like, Well, that’s clearly Photoshopped. And obviously these were Photoshopped, but some of them, I went, Oh, look at me with Steve McQueen.
But a smoking jacket! I can’t even do the math on how that came to be. But I put it on, and I enjoy cigars, so when they said, “He smokes cigars,” I said, “Oh, I’ve never been happier.” But they were fake cigars. You can’t smoke tobacco on a set, so you have to smoke — I don’t know what’s in there — corduroy? It’s just a dollop less enjoyable.
