One of the coolest parts of my job is interviewing famous actors, politicians and musicians. It doesn't happen very often, but I really enjoy it when it does!Yesterday, Stacey Keach came into the studio. He's in town playing Richard Nixon in the play "Frost/Nixon".
Because we're an all-news radio station, the interviews are VERY short. If we get 5 minutes, it's an extreme luxury. Usually it's closer to 3.
Keach understood this and made the most of his 3 minutes, was kind and gracious, and gave very thoughtful answers to our questions. Here's a guy who literally detested Richard Nixon and yet, said he found a way to give him humanity and humor as he embodied Nixon's persona for the play.
And doesn't he look great! I mean, the guy had a stroke less than two months ago, and here he is, on stage, and doing what he does best.
Me & Mike Hammer. Who'd of thunk it?
