Years ago, I was watching David Letterman when he had Lance Henriksen on as a guest. Henriksen was talking about his FOX show "Millennium," and he was really excited about the project because the producers had actually written the show with him in mind. Dave could not have cared less, but it struck me how thrilled with the idea Lance Henriksen was.
Cut to 2015. I got approached to be the voice of the main character in John Ballentine's new episode of Campfire Radio Theater "Night Delivery," and having so enjoyed voicing Old Jim on "R.I.P." last year, I was happy to sign on. As I performed the character, I started to think of it less and less of a character and more and more like me. Twas then that John told me that he wrote the part with me in mind.
It's surely not a big deal to you, and it's nothing compared to a TV show being made for you, but it was quite an honor for me to hear. And the funny thing is, maybe I remembered the conversation wrong . . . deliberately.
I play Dustin James, who gets a job as a radio DJ in the 1980's, when he discovers there might be something weird going on with his late night shift, or maybe the radio station itself. He meets a beautiful young woman, and at one point gets a stack of records with a warning on them: Do not play backwards. Three guesses as to what he does next.
