LICENCE TO KILL was David Hedison’s last major film. Over the next two decades, he would appear a dozen or so times on film, most notably in a 50-episode arc in the TV soap opera “The Young and the Restless” in 2004.
Hedison considered himself primarily a stage actor and was somewhat dismissive of his film work:
“When I go back to theater I feel good about myself. When I do films or TV, it's to make a little bread to pay my mortgage or whatever and when I've made the money I do theater again. And when I get a part I like, a part I can work on, that satisfies me. I feel good about myself. Most of the time I don't even watch what I do on TV. I go in, get the job done, and just know it's nothing. It's a job. Sometimes, I try something different and I'll watch out of curiosity. Generally, I don't watch too much of what I do. Movies are basically the same, except it's more money spent on sets.”
In 1969, Hedison had been offered the lead role on “The Brady Bunch,” but turned it down, saying “after four years of subs and monsters, who needs kids and dogs?” Just as well. That wouldn’t really be how we want to remember him.
