With the Hubble telescope and all the other things that are out there, I believe something would have come through. Today, I really believe we are unique. Mark Goddard Read Quote
They sent me the script, asking me to play the part of a general. I have never played the part of an authority figure. I’ve never thought of myself that way. I was uncomfortable with it, but I worked at it and knew I had a guttural voice for a general. Mark Goddard Read Quote
These are extremely talented actors who are all putting their talents into the Lost in Space movie. Mark Goddard Read Quote
There’s a certain way you stand to give yourself authority, which gives you the texture for the part. I chose that my character hadn’t been married, he’d worked his way up the chain of command. For a small cameo role, I gave it a lot of thought. Mark Goddard Read Quote
The question I always get is, Why didn’t you throw Dr. Smith off the Jupiter? I get that all the time. Mark Goddard Read Quote
The only person who had any control was Jonathan Harris. His character was so flamboyant that he was able to make things happen. My character was fairly one-dimensional, so I had my relationship with Dr. Smith and with the family. Mark Goddard Read Quote
I would have liked it to have stayed serious and have the adventures of a family lost in space. This isn’t to take anything away from Jonathan and the Robot. I watch his performance today and he still makes me laugh. Mark Goddard Read Quote
The kids like to get pictures of me for their parents. They know how proud I am of them-they have a lot more to worry about than my stardom. They are trying to make good choices for their own lives, but this gives them a little fun. They are part of my family. Mark Goddard Read Quote
People give me things at shows-the Robot from Japan. What I would treasure the most is a little doll of the general from the movie-and if they don’t make it, I’ll make my own and bring it to shows and sign it. Mark Goddard Read Quote
