A Class Cutup.(Column)
Byline: Dutch Mandel
Who isn't intrigued when you hear about virtuoso performances of a man with a saw? Yes, Hackman travels the world cutting things in half with a Lenox saw (www.lenoxsaw.com/hackman.html). Name it, he's chopped it: cars, buses, an airplane, a house and an oil tanker. As far as we know, no animals have been vivisected in the making of his career.
Why would an audience passionate about cars be interested in a guy whose life purpose is mutilating the object of their desires? Is it a can't-take-your-eyes-away curiosity, like competitive eating?
Yeah, that's exactly it. We lobbed questions at Hackman.
AutoWeek: Is your real first name, Gene?
Hackman: Gene is no relative of mine. Team Hackman could chop the Hoosiers in half. My driver's license reads Lee Breton.
