[on his character name 'Bosley' on
Charlie's Angels (1976)]:When I first saw the name 'Bosley' on my script, I said 'No, this has gotta go'. They told me 'Listen David, this is just for the pilot film we can always change the name when he go to series'. I am a gentle compliant fellow and I even agreed when they said my character's name would be 'John Bosley', which if you say it fast it sounds like
Tom Bosley, why not have it be Roger or Richard so it doesn't sound so close?
