Bruce Greenwood, who stars as Beach Boy Dennis Wilson in tonight's ABC TV movie "The Story of the Beach Boys: Summer Dreams," says "the movie doesn't belabor the seamy side of their story. All the actors cared really deeply about how we were representing these people. We tried to stay away from making it a lighthearted, meaningless romp or a heavy judgmental thing."

The "St. Elsewhere" actor says he "fought hard" to win the "Beach Boys" role. But he wishes the project had been made into a miniseries. "To do this story in just one hour and 40 minutes is unjust," he said.
