  • Obscurity Knocks: Episode 14 - Peter Gallagher
    Sep 24 2019

    This week's guest is someone who holds a special place in history: he was my very first Random Roles interview. You know Peter Gallagher and/or his eyebrows from such projects as The Idolmaker, The O.C., Summer Lovers, and While You Were Sleeping, in which he played the guy who was sleeping. Oh, right, and he was also in a little movie called Sex, Lies and Videotape. But God forbid we should spend time talking about any of those things...although he does actually sing the word "baby" at one point, so there's that, at least.

  • Obscurity Knocks: Episode 13 - Clancy Brown
    Sep 14 2019

    Clancy Brown has a voice that may be familiar to you from a plethora of animated series, playing everyone from Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants to Lex Luthor on various programs in the DC Animated Universe, but in the real world, relatively speaking, he’s also popped up in numerous films and TV series, including Highlander, The Shawshank Redemption, Starship Troopers, Carnivale, and Billions. Naturally, we talked about virtually none of these things in any real detail during the course of the podcast... Okay, fine, we did talk about Highlander for a few minutes. We also took a little time to talk about his new series, Emergence, which joins the ABC lineup on September 24 at 10 p.m. Mostly, though, it was just a whole lot of obscurities.

  • Obscurity Knocks: Episode 12 - W. Earl Brown
    Jul 10 2019

    You’ve almost certainly seen W. Earl Brown's name in the credits of dozens of movies and TV series over the years, including such classics as Scream and There’s Something About Mary, and he’s also a familiar face to fans of HBO’s Deadwood, but it will come as no surprise to regular listeners to this podcast that the only time we talk about any of these projects are - at best - in passing. Fortunately, however, by the time you’ve made it to the end of our conversation, you’ll have heard stories about working Kris Kristofferson, Robin Williams, and Burt Reynolds, playing Meat Loaf, and appearing in Project: ALF.

    Yes, you read that correctly: Project: ALF.

    You’re welcome, America.
