Every project is a unique experience, full of timely lessons and lasting memories.” |
Actor Grand L. Bush is best known for the memorable roles he has played on numerous television shows and in many major motion pictures, including Licence To Kill, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Colors and The Exorcist III, opposite the late George C. Scott.
"It's always intimidating working with a legend," Bush said. "Then you realize George C. Scott has a great sense of humor, and you calm down." Even while juggling a busy schedule, Bush has always squeezed in time to meet his supporters and fellow artisans at autograph-signing festivals worldwide. "I've learned that more people are touched by your artistry than you'll ever know or meet," Bush said. "That's a humbling fact." Bush added that a treasured interaction with the royal family during the premiere of Licence to Kill in London remains the pinnacle of his acting career. "Meeting the lovingly demure Princess Diana and exchanging pleasantries with the gracious Prince Charles are memories that are certainly etched in my heart," Bush said. |
