Episode 459. George And Tim
George Wendt (“Norm” from Cheers) and Tim Kazurinsky (Saturday Night Live, the Police Academy movies) are well-known to TV and film audiences around the world. But their extensive stage work from Second City to Broadway brings them to Chicago in the Northlight Theatre’s world premiere production of Bruce Graham’s Funnyman. George and Tim talk about this funny and incredibly moving production, and share stories about their years in the biz, including fateful trips to Europe; questionable agent advice; many lessons for young actors; tales of Bebe Neuwirth, Jason Sudeikis, and Woody Harrelson; shout-outs to cast members; the power of both improv and celebrity; and the glory of the walking sight gag.
