NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Since Dos Equis has retired its “Most Interesting Man in the World” advertising campaign, the phrase is available for Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.

In a wide-ranging interview with my radio show, The Midday 180 in Nashville, we asked him about his role in the 1970 film “Too Late The Hero.”

The Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back served as a stunt double for Michael Caine.

Per @hutton1045: Titans DC Dick LeBeau was the stunt double for Michael Caine in the 1970 film "Too Late The Hero." Here's LeBeau and teammate Pat Studstill running through rice fields in the Philippines. A video posted by pkuharsky (@pkuharsky) on Aug 4, 2016 at 1:14pm PDT

“I was better looking than Michael is how it started,” LeBeau explained. “No, Bob Aldrich was the director. He had directed ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ and ‘The Dirty Dozen.’ And he had gotten a contract from one of the major studios to make, I think, seven or eight pictures. And the first one he made was ‘Too Late the Hero.’ It also can be seen occasionally as ‘Suicide Run.’

“It’s on about 2 in the morning now. That’s me at the end of it. Pat Studstill, who was our punter and wide receiver, was running for Cliff Robertson. The reason we were the doubles is, we were in the Philippine Islands and it was like 116 and it would take them a while to set for the shot. But when we’d run across this rice paddy, we’d go about 200, 250 yards. You had to be a fairly well-conditioned athlete to run the next set once they reloaded all the bombs and everything.

“(Aldrich) was a football fan and asked me if I wanted to do it, and I said sure.”

Caine tried to teach LeBeau an English accent when they messed around to pass the time so that LeBeau could get a couple lines in the movie.

“We would sit around, and we were in the middle of the jungle, there was nothing to do," LeBeau said. “It was an army picture, so it was all males, so there really wasn’t anything to do. And I said, ‘Bob, I need a speaking part. Just two or three words, anything.’

“He said, ‘This is an English outfit, and the only American here in the whole show is Cliff Robertson. Can you do a British accent?’ I said, ‘I never tried to.’ He said, ‘Well if you can learn a British accent, maybe I’ll put you on camera for a couple lines or something.

“So I told Michael Caine. He said ‘Well, I’ll teach you cockney, that’s the easiest thing to learn.’ We were shooting pool, so he said, ‘There’s a light out on the billiard table.’ So I said ‘Oh, s---, I think I can do that.’ ‘There’s a light out on the billiard table.’

“So I’m practicing and I’m practicing. Go back in a couple days to Bob Aldrich and I say, ‘Bob, I think I’ve got it.’ And he said, ‘Well, let me hear it.’ And I said ‘There’s a light out on the billiard table.’ He said, ‘You sound like a hillbilly trying to order a Coney Island dog or something, get out.’

“So that’s why I didn’t get in front of the camera.”
