“I was miserable in West Side Story. They really miscast me. I came from the Midwest; what they really needed was a guy that was street smart. The first time I saw the movie, I had to walk out. I looked like the biggest fruit that ever walked on to film. My character was so weak.” FirstsCharacterStoriesFilmGuySidesWalksSawsStreetsNeededSmartFirst TimeWeakWestFruitMiserableMidwestWest SideWest Side StoryStreet Smart Author:Richard Beymer
