Bruce Willis swings for the windows in "Die Hard."Twentieth Century Fox But that's not all the 1988 blockbuster, which has (at last count) brought us three sequels, has to offer. It also introduced much of the world to the jovial Reginald VelJohnson as Sgt. Al Powell, the one person outside the Nakatomi Plaza who believes McClane when he calls for help. VelJohnson had been appearing in movies and TV shows for nearly 10 years before "Die Hard" came along, but once it did, the New York-born actor's career took off, and he quickly segued into nearly a decade as dad Carl Winslow on "Family Matters." All of which made VelJohnson the perfect man to discuss the ins and outs of working alongside McClane and Urkel! Here are just a few things you might never have known about both classics. Sgt. Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) and John McClane (Bruce Willis), in one of the few in-person scenes they shared on "Die Hard."Twentieth Century Fox VelJohnson's Sgt. Powell had very few scenes with Bruce Willis, but they were always on the line together. "I was there for nine months," recalls VelJohnson. "But he was on the other end of the phone when we did our scenes where we had to talk to each other. Between scenes we'd stop and talk and found out a lot about each other. It was my first time on a major film, so whatever they wanted from me was just fine." The Nakatomi Building has starred in several other films — and has a Ronald Reagan connection "Die Hard's" key location, called Nakatomi Plaza in the film, is actually Fox Plaza, and has been featured in movies including "Airheads," "Fight Club," "Lethal Weapon 2" and on TV shows "The Bold and the Beautiful," "The X-Files," "Brookyn Nine-Nine." After leaving office, former President Ronald Reagan had his offices on the 34th floor, which is now occupied by Fox. 3 of 12 11/6/2018, 7:19 PM Reginald VelJohnson reveals how 'Die Hard' helped him get cast in 'Fami... https://www.today.com/popculture/reginald-veljohnson-reveals-how-die-... VelJohnson prefers Sno Balls to Twinkies. When we first meet Sgt. Powell, he's loading up on convenience store Twinkies, telling the skeptical checkout guy that they're for his pregnant wife. In reality, VelJohnson isn't a fan. "My junk food of choice is Sno Balls," he admits. "I got addicted to those things." Not that it stops fans from reminding him of Powell's Twinkie overload: "People throw Twinkies in my supermarket cart," he laughs. On "Family Matters," VelJohnson often got upstaged by Jaleel White as Urkel. Also pictured: Darius McCraryCourtesy Everett Collection Without "Die Hard," VelJohnson would not have found "Family Matters." "Family Matters" producer Thomas L. Miller went to an early screening of "Die Hard" and "thought I would be good as Carl," VelJohnson recalls. "So he asked me to be in it before the movie was even out. They asked me to do it, and the rest was history," he recalls. VelJohnson spent all of his time outside the Nakatomi Plaza, pictured here with Paul Gleason in the film.PictureLux / The Hollywood Archive / Alamy Stock Photo / Alamy Stock Photo VelJohnson is delighted that "Die Hard" is considered a holiday classic.

"I'm totally fine with it being one, though!" These days, VelJohnson is still working hard, currently filming a contemporary African-American version of "Pride and Prejudice." He's appearing as Rev. Bennett, whose wife is played by Jackée Harry. But in this world of reboots and ongoing franchises, he's always up for more of either "Family Matters" or "Die Hard"! "I'd like to think that Al would be a lieutenant at least. He couldn't be the same guy in uniform — he'd be too fat by now," says VelJohnson. "But I surely would do it!"

  • Performances Rehearsals Plot the Director
    PERFORMANCES December 11 – 13, 2019 at the Regina Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) at 1077 Angus. REHEARSALS Rehearsals will be up to 3 times a week at RPAC. PLOT New York City policeman John McClane heads to California to visit his estranged wife Holly and their children on Christmas Eve. He joins Holly at her office holiday party but the festivities are soon interrupted by a group of guerillas who take everyone in the building captive. Soon, John realizes that there's no one to save the hostages – but him. The plot of A Very Die Hard Christmas closely follows that of the movie Die Hard but with much more camp, silliness, and songs. It's an outrageous take on the most beloved Christmas movie OF ALL TIME! THE DIRECTOR Jennifer Lyn Squires has worked with many theatre groups in her 30 years as nearly every role from actor to usher. Her productions have won awards at Theatre Saskatchewan's competitive festivals. She was trained at the University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan. CHARACTERS Many characters are double cast, but we will consider breaking them up into smaller parts. Doubled parts are marked with an asterisk. ALL genders, races, sexualities, ages, backgrounds (etc.) will be considered for all parts John McClane – A gritty cop from NYC. Hates California. Hans Gruber – The vaguely European head of the bad guys Karl – A vaguely European bad guy Heinrich* – Karl's brother Theo – Hans' tech specialist Holly Gennero – John's estranged wife. Loves California. Narrator - Narrator The Fixer – Primarily a silent role, facilitates a lot of 'special' effects Sgt Al Powell – A moderately competent policeman Joseph Takagi* - CEO of Nakatomi, Holly's boss Harry Ellis* – A sleazy Nakatomi employee Additional roles (that are written as doubled) include: security guard, Agent Johnson, Agent Johnson, employees and more!

  • Die Hard – Synopsis John Mcclane, a Wisecracking New York City Cop
    Die Hard – Synopsis John McClane, a wisecracking New York City cop, comes to LA for Christmas. His wife, Holly, has recently taken an executive job there; she took the kids with her, too. McClane begrudges Holly packing up like that, but he loves her and hopes to work things out. Wandering through the company holiday party in the sleek new high-rise, Nakatomi Plaza, McClane feels out of place and things aren’t going that well with Holly either. It gets a lot worse when a band of European terrorists invade the building. Led by the suave and brilliant Hans Gruber, they’re seriously armed and organized. They lock down the building, seize control of the computer system, cut off all outside communication. The terrorists gather the only people left in the building, those attending the party, and keep them docile with their automatic weapons. Gruber is in total control. Except over McClane. Who has slipped into a stairwell unseen. Gruber escorts the head of the company, Mr. Takagi, into an office and demands a computer code that will unlock a vault containing 640 million dollars worth of bonds. Takagi refuses. Gruber blows his head off. Nearby in hiding, McClane watches. He realizes Gruber is fully capable of killing the hostages—including his wife. Armed with only his wits, McClane is the only one with a shot at saving the day. Hans has his tech specialist set about breaking the computer code, a complex routine that requires going through seven computerized locks. McClane tries to alert authorities by tripping a fire alarm, but the ruse fails, only signaling to Hans that there’s a rogue loose in the building.
