D10 The CITIZEN, OTTAWA MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1986 GfinQGirfiauEQinniGiniG Gregory Hines: a dancer hits the screen and gets the girls but Cosby only had two or three the entire time Spy was on." And now, in Running Scared, Hines is starring with a white ac- tor. And Hines is the one with the love scenes. doing on that show was the great- est thing that any black actor, could do. "Except I wondered about those love scenes. Robert Culp had them in practically every show, mmr air i ma -sin Vt w.l V- -4 the rest of us." A three-time Tony nominee (for Eubie, Sophisticated Ladies and Comin' Uptown, Hines has had a steady career in films.

His first movie role was as the sardonic coroner in Wolfen with Albert Finney. Then, when Richard Pryor was burned in his free-basing accident, Hines was rushed in to replace him in Mel Brooks' ill-fated The History of the World, Part I. But, then, as he said earlier, he's used to a busy schedule. He's been performing professionally since he was three. "My brother, Maurice, and I were the Hines Kids.

Then we got acne, stopped being cute and became the Hines Brothers. Then my dad (also named Maurice) joined the act, and we were Hines, Hines and Dad. The nightclub circuit was struggling, but we played places like the Fairmont in San Francisco. "I never longed for a so-called childhood because, actually, I had a pretty good childhood. We worked basically during the summers.

During the rest of the year, we led a regular life. I had buddies. I had girlfriends. I played Little League. I watched Spy and thought what Bill Cosby was a Hines with Billy Crystal in scene from Running Scared By Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News DALLAS Gregory Hines loves actors.

For example, he'll have you know that he'll see anything with Nick Nolte in it. "He just makes me proud to be a man," Hines said in a recent Dallas visit. "I don't know any other way of putting it." Hines has starred opposite some of today's top actors Richard Gere in The Cotton Club and Chevy Chase in Deal of the Century, and another top dancer in Mikhail Baryshnikov in White Nights, And now Hines and Billy Crystal of Saturday Night Live are playing Chicago cops in the serio-comic, non-musical action film Running Scared. "I know it will be big, I know it will," Hines said, with table-thumping enthusiasm. "Of course, I've felt that way before and it hasn't quite happened.

But this time well, I think this one is going to do it." Hines spoke vigorously even though a touch of fatigue would have been understandable. He had had a late dinner at Mariano's 'Mexican restaurant the night before and had been up "to all hours" at Mr. C's blues club. That afternoon, he was to address students at Southern Methodist University, rehearse his one-man then do a performance at the Dallas Theater Center gala. used to a busy schedule," he said, his voice taking on the rhythm of a tap dance.

"When I was a kid, I was always touring with my brother and my dad. At 'least in the summers, we toured. I went to school the rest of the year. But I always kept busy. "But I'd talk about Running Scared day or night, under any circumstances.

I feel passionate about this film. Did you know that part was written for a white guy? It was the same way with Lou Gossett and An Officer and a Gentleman. I had worked with (director) Peter Hyams on an Amazing Stories episode, and I got hold of the script to the film. And I just campaigned and campaigned for it until I got it. And I'm proud because this is the first film that stars a black guy and a white guy and the black guy has all the sex scenes.

Of course, the part was to have been played by a white guy. But, still, those scenes are still in the movie. Usually, the black guy has no sexuality at all." He has nothing but praise for co-star Crystal, but admits that Hyams deserves his reputation as A Slave to Her Own Desire.

(The normally mild-mannered Harrison Ford frankly admitted his dislike for Hyams when they made Hanover Street.) "Hyams was tough to work with.

But I don't Want to put the guy down. I've had good relationships with every guy I've worked with, and I don't want to stop now. So let's just talk about Billy Crystal. I don't watch Saturday Night Live like I used to. But I had seen Billy over the years.

In a matter of days, I knew that I really liked the guy. Our backgrounds are the same. We both have a family. We're both sports enthusiasts, and we've both been around a while. We wound up spending all our time together, and there was a real closeness there.

"When I worked with Chevy Chase, I liked him and I felt that he liked me. But we didn't get to know each other. Both our wives were giving birth, and as soon, as (director) Billy Friedkin would yell we'd both rush off to Lamaze classes. "With Richard Gere well, The Cotton Club was a very difficult set. All the changes in the script had to do with Richard's character, and it was a very tough way for him to work.
