By: debbie lynn elias<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he’s not fighting Captains of the USS Enterprise or going toe-to-toe with a computer named Hal or playing legal eagle with those brash young attorneys, Franklin & Bash <\/em>or, as he is doing this holiday season, hunting down a serial killing, flame-throwing Santa Claus in SILENT NIGHT, Malcolm McDowell is a devoted father and grandfather. With two elder children from his second marriage, he also has three young boys ages 8, 6 and 3, with his present wife Kelley Kuhr. During our recent exclusive one-on-one interview, the depth of his love for this children was more than evident.<\/p>\n

Already animated and excited to talk about SILENT NIGHT, when talk turned to the kids, McDowell\u0081’s excitement was as ebullient as a kid on Christmas morning. “I want to be around and drive \u0081’em to school and pick \u0081’em up occasionally and take \u0081’em on the golf course and have a bit of fun”. And part of that fun at the McDowell house is celebrating the holidays. So just what does the McDowell clan do for Christmas?<\/p>\n

“There’s going to be lots of things going in our house. We don\u0081’t have a tree. We have a HUGE<\/em> huge cowboy sculpture and I always go, “This is the GREATEST<\/em> tree in California, if not the world. Nobody has a tree like this!” And I wrap these lights around this cowboy and they’re like, “Dad, um, that\u0081’s a cowboy, that’s not a tree” and I go, “Yea! Anybody can have a tree! Any idiot has got a tree. But who has a cowboy? No one!” I don’t want to go out and be buying a tree. I don\u0081’t want to be bothered, going out, getting a tree, have the darn thing drop its needles and then become a fire hazard. So I’m talking them into the cowboy and now they’re really getting behind me. Now we’re all on the same page with the cowboy – just like I talked them into going for Halloween as Darth Vader . The whole family went as Darth. We had discussions and I told them, “Darth is a good guy.” And they went, “No, he\u0081’s evil.” And I said, “You know what, he’s a really misunderstood man who had a very unhappy childhood and he’s doing his best. Let’s go as Darth and show our solidarity.” [laughing] By the end of it, we all had costumes as Darth.<\/p>\n

\"silent<\/p>\n

“So, that\u0081’s what we\u0081’re doing in our house. Hanging around. But, I don’t think I\u0081’ll be showing them [SILENT NIGHT] though.”<\/p>\n

\"silent<\/p>\n

Cowboy Christmas Trees, flame-throwing Santas and Darth Vader. Makes perfect sense when it\u0081’s Malcolm McDowell.<\/p>\n
