I Played, Too is a podcast featuring relatives, athletes, musicians and entertainers who also had careers. You might know the last name but perhaps not the first. This podcast aims to let them tell their stories. (Also, from time to time, we'll talk to celebrities outside those realms who might have performed as well.)
This week actor Andy Prosky, whose father Robert is a two-time Tony-award nominee, joins the show. Andy talks about working with luminaries such as Sir Ben Kingsley, Robin Williams and Robert Redford, working in Ford's Theatre (which is where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated), getting to work on stage with one of his idols in Christopher Plummer, playing the role of George in the play "Lunar Eclipse," having the opportunity to work alongside his father- both as a kid and later as an adult, getting to meet Sally Field, what it's like to get a bad review from a critic, and lots more.
