I interview two character actors…or more often than not, the actors talk to each other, and I slip in a question whenever there’s a rare lull in the conversation.
Just a Couple of Characters #5 - Stuart Pankin and Peter Onorati
Welcome to Episode #5, in which I chat with Stuart Pankin (Not Necessarily the News, Dinosaurs) and Peter Onorati (Cop Rock, S.W.A.T., This Is Us), but more often than not, they talk to each other, including conversations about all of the projects mentioned parenthetically above as well as everything from Kate & Allie and The Hollywood Knights, meeting Mel Brooks, playing poker with Sid Caesar and Harvey Korman, and what an incredibly nice guy Nathan Fillion is. Yes, they talk more than I do. That's kind of the point. Trust me, if you like hearing actors talk shop, then you won't care. You'll love it anyway.

Just a Couple of Characters #4 - Joel Murray and Neil Flynn
Welcome to Episode #4, in which I chat with Joel Murray (Dharma & Greg, Mad Men) and Neil Flynn (Scrubs, The Middle), but more often than not, they talk to each other, including a fair amount of sports talk because, well, they're guys who like the sports. Yes, they talk more than I do. That's kind of the point. Trust me, if you like hearing actors talk shop, then you won't care. You'll love it anyway.

Just a Couple of Characters #3 - Jim Piddock and Michael Hitchcock
Welcome to Episode #3, in which I chat with Jim Piddock and Michael Hitchcock, two actors with deep filmographies but who have found a certain corner of fame with comedy fans through their work with director Christopher Guest. If you haven't checked out Jim's memoir, CAUGHT WITH MY PANTS DOWN AND OTHER TALES FROM A LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD, I highly recommend it. Yes, they talk more than I do. That's kind of the point. Trust me, if you like hearing actors talk shop, then you won't care. You'll love it anyway. And if you do, then why not visit http://willharris.substack.com (http://willharris.substack.com)?

Just a Couple of Characters #1 - Kurt Fuller and Xander Berkeley
In this initial outing, I talk to Kurt Fuller (Psych, Evil) and Xander Berkeley (24, The Walking Dead)...and when I say "I talk to," what I really mean is "they talk to each other, and I ask them a couple of questions." Trust me, if you like hearing actors talk shop, then you won't care. You'll love it anyway. And if you do, then why not visit http://willharris.substack.com (http://willharris.substack.com)?

Just a Couple of Characters #2 - Stephen Tobolowsky and Jim Beaver
In this episode, I talk to Stephen Tobolowsky (Groundhog Day, The Goldbergs) and Jim Beaver (Deadwood, Supernatural), and they discuss the origins of their multi-decade friendship, working together on the play 2 Idiots in Hollywood, the movie In Country, and the HBO series Deadwood. They also talk about the first time they had to fight to keep from going full fanboy on someone they worked with.
