LOS ANGELES (AP) – Long before Kevin Costner, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks and Nicole Kidman were Emmy nominees, they were kids who loved watching TV.
“I liked ‘Man from Uncle’ and ‘High Chaparral,'” Costner said. “I really, really liked that when I was a kid.”
“I remember the transition from black-and-white to color,” continued Costner, who is nominated as both star and producer of the TV movie “Hatfields & McCoys.” ”It like one by one the televisions in my neighborhood became color TVs and we would all go look at each other’s color TVs and ooh and aah at ‘Bonanza.’ I’m kind of glad I saw it all, in a way. I remember the TV would shut off at 11 and just play the national anthem all night long.”
Cranston, who is nominated for his role on “Breaking Bad” – which won him the Emmy Award three years in a row, grew up on “The Andy Griffith Show.”
