I'm liking Big Jim more and more . . .

Garner, in the book, admitted that he has smoked pot for most of his adult life. He dabbled doing some white line fever, snorting cocaine with SNL great John Belushi who died from a drug overdose.

Garner refers to himself in the book as a "bleeding-heart liberal" who felt that Adlai Stevenson the most intelligent man to have ever run for president, with Barack Obama taking the number two slot.

Big Jim doesn’t have kind words to say about his fellow actors either –saying his “Great Escape” costar and pal Steve McQueen was an “insecure poseur and not a very good actor”. He also branded Charles Bronson “bitter and belligerent”.
