I tried to have a lot of subtlety with that, but always worming my way into things and being up close and Iceman's go-to guy. Even in some other scenes I had, where I stood alone a bit, I was the ultimate wingman. There was a lot of testosterone on the set.
How much like the characters were the actors? Rossovich: There was a bit of truth coming out of everyone's pores. Tom is a constant professional, perfectionist. He's the guy who's going to go until he gets it right. Val, a complete actor, knows his stuff, thinks a little bit deeper. Barry Tubb and Whip Hubley, and I got to play our fun sides. We were like the chorus singing. We got to bring out those colors. Tom Skerritt, a beautiful human being, has had an incredible career.
James Tolkan, great actor. Meg Ryan made her debut. What a way to enter the mainstream. Anthony Edwards is such a gentle, beautiful human being, and he brought a whole different dynamic to Goose that really is understated. He lifted the show and doesn't get enough credit. You and your wife were in a truck accident one day and the next day you were flying in the F, right? Rossovich: Exactly. I went out with one of my paychecks, got a new Ford truck, and we were on a bridge in San Diego when a tire came off a trailer a couple of cars in front of us.
There was a chain reaction accident. I went sideways and it caved in my wife's door, and she was crumpled in the compartment. I had to lift her out. They took the truck away and we never saw it again. The next day, she's in a Jeep along the runway, with back pain, waving me away as I go down the runway and just disappear out to the Pacific Ocean, strapped to a missile, more or less. That was an adventure, but she healed. It's funny, as I was taking her away from the driver's side, her sunglasses fell off her face.
That's what I really remember in that moment. It was horrible, so horrible. People are assuming you're not in Top Gun: Maverick.
Where you asked? Not asked? Rossovich: The new film, it's been a passion of Tom's for the last 30 years. He wasn't going to do it until he got what he wanted. From what I understand, what I know of the script and storyline, I think it's going to be a really powerful piece of work for Tom.
He always delivers. Get ready world, here comes Top Gun: Maverick. I had a little bit of a discussion with Joe Kosinski. Great fellow, the director. I think he's really going to deliver. Paramount certainly wants to have a blockbuster, and I think it's all lined up for that. I visited the set one day while they were filming in San Diego. From a young age, Adam has been interested in a wide range of movies and television, but it was talented auteurs like Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Aaron Sorkin who ultimately sparked his interest in the craft.
Motivated by his love for the screen, Adam studied creative writing with a concentration in screenwriting at Southern New Hampshire University. After graduating, Adam interned as a writer with The Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization working to end extreme poverty.
Other than writing for Screen Rant, Adam reviews films on his website adambentz. Slider is in just about every scene that Iceman is, and he's clearly really good at what he does, even though he may sweat a little more than the other guys. He's got an ego, and he acts like a big shot on the volleyball court, and in other scenes after the first hop, he reminds Maverick and Goose that there are no points for second place.

During our conversation, Rossovich — on the phone from Stockholm, Sweden — enthusiastically shared Top Gun memories, discussed how stepping back to be with his family proved to be the right decision, laughed heartily when his wife made an unexpected cameo appearance during our chat, and teased — accidentally??
Rossovich: Thirty-five years! I have a real nostalgic feeling for it. I hope I can be around for the 50th, to tell you the truth. But we made it to I made a lot of things that are completely obscure and lost, though they were well-intentioned and paid for, and this one continues to be a beacon. You almost played Cougar.
Rossovich: There was never a reason. I never asked. Cougar is really at the head of the film and he plays his bit and then is gone. It was never like I traded roles with one of the guys who was on the set every day with me. Cougar was a good role and John Stockwell did a great job. What interested you about Slider? Even in some other scenes I had, where I stood alone a bit, I was the ultimate wingman. There was a lot of testosterone on the set.
