Speaker 2 (00:53):

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Give me.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Thank you?

Speaker 6 (01:02):
Hey, what's up everybody?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Welcome to the Jimmy Stars Show with.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
Ron Russell, bring you the good times in music, fashion,
pop culture and entertainment. We have an exciting show for
you guys today. I'm super excited. Our first guest is
Claudia Christian. She's a phenomenal actress. She's been in everything
that you've seen. She's worked with the biggest stars on
the planet, and she's in one of my favorite feel
good movies. That's why I invited her on. I didn't

(01:26):
even know she's done some of the things that she's done,
but I'm super excited to have her coming on. And
then we have Johnny Parati coming on, who plays Hammy
in Clown Motel one, two and three, and he's just
a really fun guy. So I think the whole show
is going to be a lot of fun. But before
we get started, let me say hi. First off, it's
my cool, outrageous man about Town co host mister Ron Russell.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Hey, how is how is everybody there? You go? I
am so stressed. You know, the holidays are coming and
it's a lot of work. I started decorating the Christmas
tree and the house for Christmas, and you know, cleaning
up the yard and doing all the stuff that I
can do in between working.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Which looks like we have some big stuff getting ready
to camp. I can't tell you what it is yet,
but I got a meeting right after the show.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yourself, shut your mouth. All the Italians learned years ago,
centuries ago, that we don't tell people anything about what
we want to happen, because they give you la Malachi
Lamlaki is the evil eye. And if you believe in
that stuff, it may have some bearing because for thousands
and thousands of years the Italians have been doing this,

(02:37):
which wards off the evil.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Life, so therefore there must.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Be something to it. So don't don't jink yourself. I mean,
the Jews believe in the Kanahara. They never tell you anything.
If you ask a Jew, how's business going? Could be better?
And they're making and they're making, they're making millions of dollars.
Could be better?

Speaker 6 (03:01):
I love it. So tomorrow's Thanksgiving, we have a teen room.
People are showing up.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Hey, Lady Lake.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Music, thanks so much for the promos. Stefon Bella's in there.
Hub Renolds Junior, Happy first Thanksgiving as.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
A married man.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Hub Congratulations tomorrow. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
It's going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
And now our Thanksgiving, we're having a chicken and it's
Jimmy and I because my daughters now are in Pennsylvania,
they're coming in for Christmas. So Thanksgiving. So many people
have invited us to their homes and I had to
say thank you, but no thank you because we're having
Thanksgiving with my daughters. And they say, how is that.

(03:41):
I thought they weren't coming in. I said, well, they're
not coming in. We're putting our laptop or whatever.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
It is as a computer that we use for the show.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
On our dining room table, and they're going to eat
the same time that we're going.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
To eat, and it's like FaceTime, so it'll be live
so we can talk to them while they're.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Right So while we're eating, they're eating, and we're enjoying
Thanksgiving with them. And that's the reason why I had
to decline on the invitations we got, because I'm having
Jenna with my daughters.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
It should be fun. Don Hitton just joined us. Hello, Don,
hope you're feeling better. I hope be Claudia is okay.
She hasn't been around too much lately. She has some
health issues. So we're gonna send out a happy get
well to be Claudia.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Everybody. Everybody should be well. That's right, we want everybody
to be well exactly.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
I just drank that lemonade and it got stuck in
my throat.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh anyway, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
You guys.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
I've been making my own lemonade. It's sugar free lemonade
and it's really good. It's kind of tart because I
like it tart, but we've been enjoying it as opposed to.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Try And I'm kind of bunged out now because the
chains broke on my star and my horn, and we
brought the change to be repaired, and the price was
a joke. So I brought the chains home and now
I cannot find my star and my horn. It's somewhere
in the house, but I don't know where. So I'm

(05:13):
a little bummed out because I was going to put
it on now and now I don't have it on.
And talk about superstition. I have had that horn on
my body for the last forty years or more, maybe
fifty years. It's never come off me except sometimes when
I shower. But you know, you get hung up on

(05:34):
something and it really means something, yep, And I'll have
a look for it. In the show. I mean, I
found a plastic beg with the change in it, but
I didn't find the horn and the star. Yeah, I know.
We took those out and they are beautiful. They're all
eighteen carat goold with dimes.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Here's the star.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
That's the star. I have one, and he has one
full of diamonds. It's fun. So I'm upset about it.
But you know, at my age, I lose everything. I
never know where anything is. That's what happens when you're
forty fifty seventy seventy five, how about eighty five?

Speaker 6 (06:12):
There you go eighty five, And they love our plaid today,
which I was gonna wear orange plat but since he's
wearing orange plaid on, well.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
It's Thanksgiving and wear easterners. So this is how Eastern
is dressed on Thanksgiving. Plaid is the answer. This shirt
doesn't photograph as beautiful as it is in person. In person,
it's orange and green and pink and yellow. Oh, look,
beautiful colors. You can't see it. And jimmy shirt, of

(06:43):
course they're red. Is overwhelming.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
I love red goes with my red glasses, which you guys,
I have new glasses coming, so next week I'll probably
have like new ones because these are just readers and
I need to wear a prescription one since one of
my eyes is worse than the air.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I don't like this light again, Look I look good.
Now you don't look so how do you want to
change it? There? More yellow? Oh that's good. That's well, no,
so let me take it away. We're losing all flesh tones.
We're all bluek we don't go in the sun. No, no, no, no,

(07:17):
this is not my color that in person? Look, I
can see how talk I am. That's not me.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, that's the best you're going to get.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I can go. That lightness makes you look old. But
there see how nice that looks.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
I know it doesn't stay there.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
That's why I know that. I know that. No good,
We got to trow that fucking light.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
That's the best light that you can get. That's too dark.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
No, I'm dead. I look corpsy.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
Well anyway, is there a new word corpsy?

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Anyway? I look at that. Now I look like I
got you look fine, Like I was making pancakes in
the Farina in the face the flower.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Now they look fine anyway, real quick, you guys. For
all you horror lovers, my book Screams for sale, How
Horror became Hollywood's most reliable money machine. If you want
to make horror movies, or if you like horror movies,
this is the book for you. It talks all about
the industry. It's super fun. It's available in kindle, paperback,
and hardback on Amazon.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Right now, you're putting out too many books. I'm done.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
I have one more that I put out about Funko Pops,
and I haven't written any other one. So I have
to start from scratch. But now I'm going to promote
them all because now that I've got a library of things,
and you can check out all the books by going
to Jimmy Star author dot com.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
But I do have an My Funko Pops book is
the first one I did, is the best selling book
out of all the books that I've done, and now
I did the sequel to it, talking about grails and
the most valuable Funko Pops.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
So one is going to work on my book. You
have to write it. It's written, I can put it
out any time. Once it's written. I don't like the
corrections that I have been made, well, you have to
fix them the way you like them.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
Now I can put it out. It takes me about
three hours to put it out.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Once you do the corrections that you did on it.
You made it out to be a Shakespearean play when
it's just a funny little comedy movie.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
So when you fix those things and we'll put it
out and then we'll get it up. You can do
it this weekend or next week during the week while
I'm working putting out you've put out right? Anyway, what's up?
I'll see you guys. Ron's daughters have an Instagram called
Magpie Sisters. Don said she won one of their raffles.

(09:32):
Don said she won candles. They did like a giveaway
on their Magpie Sisters, so follow them on Instagram. It's
at Magpie m A G P I E Sisters.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think there might be an underscore, but if you
just stick in my Magpie, they're not charging money, They're
just giving all these gifts.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
No, they did. They did a giveaway like as a contest,
and Don won the contest. Don is in our chat
room right now, candlesticks. I think she said, well, they
gave one away. That's how you build a business. Anyway,
I wouldn't know.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know about giving away for free, putting out for free?
You know how to do that. I've never done that.
I was always very expensive, Yes you know.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
That, And it's a nest. Can even got to.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Talk about my lip? Why do I have like my
lip is peeling over here and it's driving me crazy.
Anybody out there know why your lip peels? What am
I lacking? I thought it was citrus, but I drink
so much lemonade and orange.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
No fresh lemons too, so it's citrus.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
What could it be? Maybe something from kissing my dog. Oh,
I don't know the dog. So you know, dogs have
the worst bacteria in the world. When you let them
lick you and kiss you, you're getting germs for days.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
We can kiss all the time, that's all he does.
No beause I'm sleeping.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
They'll bind you.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
He's just sleeping on the wake house.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Sometimes he kisses me and I don't move fast enough
and his tongue goes really in my mouth, to my tongue.
He likes to tongue kiss, the little pervert. But anyway,
you have to be careful about it. You know, it's
it's a bitch being old because you have so much
work to do to get there. You know, getting to
eighty five years old wasn't easy. It was hours and

(11:27):
hours and days and months and weeks and years of bullshit.
So here we are would appeel lip okay. So we
want to thank everybody for tuning in.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Every week. You can listen to The Jimmy Star Show
with Ron Russell. We're on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify,
Amazon Music YouTube. If you want to watch the video,
Google Podcasts, Radio, Public tune In, and Amazon Prime and
then we're on another like one hundred and fifty platforms,
but those are the biggest ones.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
And my friends in New York that invited us for Thanksgiving,
thank you very much. But if we came to your house,
I would have gone to my daughter's house. Well, would
you know what I mean? So I still would not
be able to go to your house for Thanksgiving. But
I thank all of you. Absolutely love it because Thanksgiving

(12:18):
is family time. And I think that Jimmy and I
all by ourselves alone, like little orphans of the storm.
We're orphaned, people, We're not orphaned. I know what it's
like to be an orphan.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Ron's just upset, you guys. This is literally in his
whole life. This is the first time he's not had
Thanksgiving with his daughters in his whole life, in my
home five years, in their whole lives, so eighty five
years he went without always having Well, as long as they.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Know, I know them when I was born, it's not
as long as they've been alive. Well, Leslie is fifty six,
so fifty six years. I have had my children at
my table for fifty six years. And I'm not You
could tell I'm not happy. I shouldn't even do the

(13:09):
show today. I should just go like somewhere and hang myself,
shooting myself, or slip my wrists or do something dramatic.
Maybe then they'll they'll come home again. They're not coming home.
That's a good way to get them here. If I'm
in the hospital dying.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Right then I got to let people know you're joking,
because then I could jump.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
I could jump out of the bed with a turkey. Yeah,
out of the hospital bed. I could have a turkey
underneath the sheets. And when my daughters come to see me,
because I'm ready to go to the next world, I
jump up. I take the shield. Got surprise, everything's giving Yeah,
and there's the turkey. Actually, oh, not forgot what I

(13:52):
was going to say. I would do anything to be
with my daughters. I would give up. I would give anything,
will be it. I love my children more than life.
I've always loved my children. I tell the story when
Leslie was born and I was in the hospital and
they brought her to us, the wife and I and

(14:14):
I held her in my arms. I don't know what happened,
but an electrical bolt went through my body and I
suddenly had a high that I've never had in my
life from anything. It was like I was in paradise.
Maybe that's what heaven is. When you croak, you feel
this feeling. But I just felt like she melted into

(14:37):
my arms and that was it. And it's been that
way all our lives. We're very close. My daughters are
my friends as well as my daughters, and I loved
them to death and I missed them terribly. Anyway, that's sad.
Let's get up and make a fun show. But you know,

(15:00):
life is not all fun. We all have our downs, right,
people out there, don't. We all have our ups and
none says it too.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
She lives in Bakersfield, California, and her daughter lives in Vermont, Vermont,
so she doesn't get to see her.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh you're going to see her daughter. No, she's not
seeing her. No, she says. She understands what you're saying. Yeah,
but we're as close with your daughter as I was
at mine. Don't forget. My daughters lived with me all
their lives, on and off between boyfriends. Every time they
got engaged. So I had a boyfriend. They all live
with the men. Then when they broke up, they came home.

(15:36):
So my children have made our house.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
She said, yes, she only gets to see him twice
a year. She's very close. They talk all the time.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
No, twice a year is not close.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
No, that's all they get. But it's expensive to go
back and forth every morning.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Is close. Yeah, well we don't.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Have that either. We talk once a week.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
When I live in Florida, I will see my daughters
all summer long in Pennsylvania. Because Leslie's got a big
house with four bedrooms, and you and I have a
room of our own.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
So you're ready to go to our first guest. Oh there,
all right, let's bring her on one.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
I guess she got bored to jet with my conversation. Hey, Claudia,
it was boring, right, I thought I was.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I had no idea what sort of show I was on.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm good? How are you?

Speaker 6 (16:29):
Oh my gosh, you look fabulous.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
I don't think so after that introduction that she looks terrible. Yeah,
so let's still a woman of set of what Oh yeah, right,
who's had many facelifts? She looks.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
Actually, you don't look like you've aged a year since
the first thing I saw you in, which is why
I actually invited you to come on. I didn't even realize.
I mean, I realized a lot of the things that
you've been in, but I didn't realize how many things
you've been in because my favorite First, let me do
an introduction. Hey, everybody, now we want to welcome to
the Jimmy Stars Show with Ron Russell, one of my

(17:07):
favorite actresses. She's a director, she's a producer, she's an
author and extremely well known voice artist. She's a Christian.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
She's okay, yeah, I feel like the type.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
She doesn't know you, so she doesn't know you're joking.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
If you were not beautiful, and if you were not
fabulous looking, I would never tease you because I would
insult you. But you know what it's like telling Sophiaaren
thirty years ago that she's ugly. She'd laugh right in
your face. She said, yeah, I'm laughing, I'm your work.

(17:45):
Why do we hear that? Why don't we hear that?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I was trying to get I was trying to get
my AirPods working. But there you go. Hell, I heard.
I heard the compliments and the insults. It's all good.
Let's start how they.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Were not allment. They were not compliments. They were the truth.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
How are you guys?

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Compliments, don't go fard. We are very good interrupting. Are
we doing that next show?

Speaker 6 (18:18):
No? No, she asked a question.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
You here, I don't see I'm dead.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
Okay, Rod's eighty five. We fight a lot. That's just
the way the show. We're just having fun, so it's normal.
So don't get up because you don't really know else, Claudia.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
If I tease you, it's because I have good vibes
about you. You know. We have guests on that I don't.
They have tease because they're they're nasty fucks. You know,
they want to fight with you, and I don't like that.
Oh yeah, we've had some beauties on our show.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
One woman, I said, can't tell anybody that.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
One woman came on and I said, you are so beautiful.
She was outstandingly gorgeous. I mean, really beyond beautiful, right, Jim. Yeah,
she got offended, and she got offended and she said,
please don't ever tell me I'm beautiful again, because it
offends the people who are not beautiful.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh, for God's sake, Okay, well, we're not going to
do that.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
I said to her, what are you now? Twenty two
twenty three. When you are eighty five, we'll talk about
eighty five. We'll talk about beautiful, because you're not going
to get eighty five year old beautiful compliments anymore when
you're an old lady.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
So we're enjoyable.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
No, you know, Ron, what the really scary thing is
is when when you're you know, let's say you're fifty
and you look really good for fifty, and you say
to people, well, you know, ever since I turned fifty,
and they say.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh, my goodness, you can't.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
Be fifty, right, but try it again ten years later,
and then they don't say anything happy and well, you know,
when I turn sixty and they go, uh huh.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
When I was.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Twenty very good looking young men, I was very handsome,
and people would say to me, Ron, you're really good looking.
I would be modest and say thank you. Then when
I was about fifty, they'd say, Ron, you're holding up well,
you know, you look good for your age. Now that
I'm eighty five, you know what they say, You're still alive.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
You're still alive.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
But you know, the worst thing is, Ron, is when
people say you still look good. Why can't they just
say you look good? Why does this still have to
be in or or you know.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You're still looking good, babe, or anything. Why can't they
just say you look good?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Why have to.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Preface it with or postmark system for you're right?

Speaker 6 (20:46):
You're right.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
I have people say.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
You know, give me wrong, you look great?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
No, we are at a red copet. Okay. I have
had this happen where I'm talking to somebody and somebody
comes over to introduce me to the person and they say, Ron,
I want you to meet Tony and Tony. You should
have seen him when he was young. He was so handsome.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh, I.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Love those.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
It's the worst. It's the worst.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
We shouldn't clarify or or we should just say you
look great.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
I don't really.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
He doesn't care anymore anyway. He still works at eighty five,
he's an actor. He still works.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
I could be ninety. I have so many of my
co workers are ninety today. You know that. I know
you know that, And they're still working. And always say
is as long as we're healthy, we give a shit.
We don't care about looks, as long as we're healthy.
Because you could be gorgeous without your help. Forget it.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
You got nothing, You got nothing without your.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Health I'm happy. I'm still alive and kicking.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
So we haven't anyone.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I want to just tell you, Oh.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, Jimmy still trying to introduce me.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
He'll never talk on this show because he bore. He's boring,
He's very boring. But anyway, I just want to tell
you that your work is. I'd like to see you
in a really good script. Let's put it that way,
an outstanding script where you clean up. I think you

(22:23):
could do it.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
She already has.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
I don't know about that, not to my standard. You know,
I'm not a I'm in a horror movie.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
He doesn't know. She doesn't do horror movies.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
I know I'm not going to see how you jumped
the gun to your mother. I want to talk because
we have cha. You're not allowed to.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
Talk on this no, So Claudia, we have a chat
room full of people. Please say hi to everybody in
the chat room. First of all, everybody, I want to
go back to my story.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
So, but can I finish that sentence that it sounded
where you were going was wrong?

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I said I don't like horror movies, and my next
question was beat her. Would you do horror movies?

Speaker 6 (23:01):
She's done. She's done some, but not She's not known
for horror. She's known for sci fi and.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Whatever you see I see.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
No, you didn't. I didn't even know you back when
I started following her career, like she's been so how
long have you actually been in Hollywood? I know you
did your first thing as a teenager on Dallas. I
read it online. I don't know if that's true or not,
but I read online your first big gig with Dallas
as a teenager.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Yeah. And my first film was with Bert Lancaster and
uh Mike uh Kirk Douglas. So I've worked with a
lot of the older actors in my early stages as
a teenager, Bob Hope, don Amici, Frank Gorshain, Miu, Yvonne
de Carlo, I worked with Faye Dunaway, played her daughter, a.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
Lot of meadows Hope, Okay, piece of Murder, a master
piece of Murder.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
And did Colombo.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
I did all the early stuff in the eighties and
nineties and two thousands.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I've had a forty five year career.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
And I've only done one horror film actually, and that
was a film called Maniac Cop two, and that was
quite a long time.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
You've seen Maniac Cop too.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Loreen Landing is one of our dearest friends, and she
was in Loria and she's in Maniac Cop too. And
Robert Dobby's been on the show like five times. And
I knew Robert Sadar and Angel Salazar's a friend. Henk
Garrett's a friend, and Leo Rossi's a friend. And I've
met Bruce Campbell, but I.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Don't know when you worked with half of my friend
Bob Hope and who else.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
Ron was best friends with Jane Russell back before she passed.
A matter of fact, she was at his house when
she passed. And no she didn't I know, but she
got sick and she left her house. She got sick
and she passed her well.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Jane and I were brother and sister. I took her
last name, of course. When I was sixteen years old,
I saw her in a gentleman of her blonde and
I fell madly in love with her, and I loved
her forever. And then I had a good fortune to
meet her and we bonded immediately like we knew each
other forever, and we traveled together, we stayed in each

(25:17):
other's homes, we went shopping together, and she was just
the nicest person to me, not to everyone. So that
leads me to who did you work with that wasn't
so nice.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
I's not gonna tell you that.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
I get in the back door. I sneak in all
the time, Glaordia.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
I think that the people who I've worked with that
haven't been nice have probably been gossiped enough about through
their career. It's nothing obvious. The Robert Davies of the world.
Have they done aways?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
You know, just people who have reputations they done away.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
She had to be a horror Betty. I knew better.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
But I believe even in positivity, we're not here to
disgrace people, are we We're not here to go We're
not facing people here.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's Thanksgiving. We should be.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
An audience. We have an audience that waits for this.
They love it. They are so we please everybody. We
asked kiss. We do nice, We do real. Betty Davis
and I I knew her well and she did not.
You couldn't mention favorite Dunnaway's name, because Betty Davis would

(26:31):
light up a cart and a cigarettes and go at here.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
That's on.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
She has some funny bits on a lot of the
chat shows.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
Yes, yes, I've seen them.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Watch also a lot of people that we know worked
with Faith and they said impossible.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Did you find that to be impossible to work with?
That's not a negative, that's just a historical question.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
She she has problems.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
I mean, I think she's a deeply dis main main woman.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
She's aid, deeply disturbed.

Speaker 7 (27:08):
It could be a sign of of a you know,
of a of a mental issue. I don't know, but
I do know that she's not normal in her behavior.
I mean when we say normal.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know find.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
I've never know.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
I spent a long time with her on that film,
and and she she wasn't horrible to me, but she
was horrible to the people around her.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yes, but she was not.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
You were younger than her and beautiful, and Fade doesn't
like people younger than her and beautiful.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
No, they just yeah, I just uh, you know, you.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Have given you some kind of.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
So wait a second. I want to go back to
the beginning because I want to because yeah, I'm the
one who's the huge fan and seen everything. So first
of all, I want to tell you so the reason
why when I saw you on Instagram and I started
following you, which you guys can follow Claudia. She's at
official Claudia Christian on Instagram. I have this feel good movie.

(28:17):
It's a series of movies that I watch all the
time whenever I just want to feel good. I'm a
huge Treat Williams fan. He actually was coming on the
show before he passed away, unfortunately. And so The Substitute
Three Winner Takes All is the first thing I had
ever seen you in and what made me a fan.
And I know it's cheesy and it's, you know, a

(28:38):
cheesy action film or whatever, but I loved it so much.
I loved you in it. It's called The Substitute three
Winner Takes All. I have no idea. This is like
a while ago. But you know, there's four, at least
four of them that I've seen. I don't know if
there's a The first one had Tom Berenger, and all
the other ones had.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Treat Williams, and I love that. Hang on, we're talking
about Treat Williams.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Just let me talk. You sit and listen, Okay, So,
first of all, how was it doing the movie? Second
of all, I know that you I know it's not
like as prestigious as most of the other things that
you've done that are really big budget, huge smashed things
and huge TV shows. But how was it working on
the phone on that and being kind of like an
action star because you were an action star.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Then No, that that was an amazing film to work on.

Speaker 7 (29:23):
Treat Williams was just a doll and James Black was
so much fun. We were in Salt Lake City, Utah,
with not a whole lot to do, so you know,
we got to know each other. This is back in
the days when actors actually talk to each other and
you know, hung out on the set, and it was
it was I just.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Remember it being a hoot. I had to do a
little you know, a little fake, a fake sort of
stripping girl.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
I went undercover as a as a kind of Hooters girl,
you know, which was fun. Yeah, because she was, Yeah,
she was this kick ass, you know, action chick, and
and she ex military and she ends up going undercover
very uncomfortable, you know, as this Hooters girl with the
false's and the whole bit, doing a wet T shirt contest.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
I got to get it out. You know who you
look like, a very dear friend of ours, Judith Chapman.
You don't know Judith Chapman the soap opera stuff.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
Very fund jud I don't think they look anything alike.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Oh I do think they look alike. Look at them,
specially with the glasses.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
With the glasses are the same. But other than that,
I want to go back. Really interrupting, don't interrupt.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Both very beautiful.

Speaker 6 (30:43):
So, so did you do your own you know, stunts
and action, Like, did you actually do it or did
somebody come in and like do the fighting stuff for you.

Speaker 7 (30:53):
I did the boxing and the finger breaking and all
of that stuff. So yes, there wasn't other than that,
a lot of a lot of stuff that needed to
be done.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
So yeah, absolutely loved it. I think everybody should watch
it for a feel good movie, you guys. It's not like,
you know, an Academy Award movie. It's such a fun
action movie. It's like watching the Karate It's like watching
the Karate Kid or something, you know that's just really
feel good and fun. And I like, but I think
you guys will like it a lot. But it's a
lot of fun. And also Richard Port now plays the

(31:27):
bad guy in it, who he was one of the
very first guests on this show eighteen years ago.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, he was very lovely.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
Yes, and he plays the bad guy and he's also
like you. He's had a phenomenal career and lots of
different things. I think you're probably best known, I think,
and I could be wrong. I'm gonna guess that you're
probably best known for Babylon five sci fi type stuff,
like when you go when you go to conventions.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Is that what kind of like is is.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
The biggest thing that draws people besides your besides your
voice acting work.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Well, I think to answer your question about conventions, it's
a combination of the Disney film that I did, Babylon
Phi for Sure, which is really the only science fiction
thing I ever did, and definitely my voiceover career. I'm
currently the lead Battye in World of Warcraft, and I've
been in dozens of the top video games in the world,

(32:21):
So people do that resonates with fans, and also, believe
it or not, the anime series that I do on Netflix,
Blood of Zeus and Dota are popular with with genre fans.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
So all of that encompasses genre.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
You got fantasy, sci fi, video games, you know, anime,
and it's so it's it's this genre fans can can
can crossover for instance, you know, a doctor who fan
might also like World of Warcraft, but it's kind of
in that same world.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
So when I go to a convention, I actually never know.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
They A lot of them come up with the Helges
and Claire from Atlantis.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
You know they're Disney fans.

Speaker 7 (32:59):
Are other people come up because they're huge Skyrim fans?
And I played thirteen characters in Skyrims, so you never know.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
And that's what is.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Thought about thirteen I played characters.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Yeah, so here's what so I didn't really realize. So
one of the first conventions I ever went to was
about twenty years ago when it was in Orlando. It
was MegaCon or something, and I couldn't believe.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I couldn't believe.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
They had all kinds of voice actors who do like
what you do in the anime and in the video games,
and they had the biggest lines. And I wasn't even
aware that that was a thing, you know, and they
would have these huge lines. And then my business partner,
I'm a publicist and a movie producer, and my business
partner called me today and she said, who's on the show,
And I said, Claudia Christian And she didn't really know

(33:47):
your name, And then I said, she does a bunch
of video game stuff that I didn't know about until yesterday.
And she says which ones? And I told her and
she was freaking out. She's like, she has ten grand children.
They all play the video games. And she was like,
oh my god, I want to like interviewers. She's like, fantastic.
So let's brag a little. And I didn't write everything
down because I don't know what they are. But one
thing is I don't follow video games that much, except

(34:09):
for he plays what do you play?

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Solda?

Speaker 6 (34:11):
He plays Zelda? But besides Zella, I really know. But
but the video games that you are voicing characters in
are so huge. Even people who don't know video games.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Get this in before you go there.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
No, I gotta tell you.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Listen to me. Don't direct me, all right, you're not
a director.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
You're interrupting them.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
I don't care. What I have to say is far
more important than what you have to everybody out there
that's sixty five and beyond. I suggest you get video
games and play them. What they do for your mind
is amazing. It stops alzheimers because you're training yourself to
play that game it's a wonderful thing. So thank you

(34:55):
so much, Claudia for doing video games for all of
us old people.

Speaker 7 (35:01):
Oh well, it is nice to know that it's helping
the neuropaths.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
No, it gives us concentration. Really talk to doctors about it.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
So I all the things should do.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
That's the most wonderful thing that you do. So let's
brag a little here.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
We got World of Warcraft, you guys, and she's done
a bunch of World of Warcraft games, Final Fantasy, Warcraft, Rumble, Starfield, Diablo, Immortal,
Guild Wars two, End of Dragons, Legends of Rune, Tara,
Fallout seventy six, which fallouts a.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Huge TV show, Call of Duty, Halo.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
I think Halo and World of Warcraft are probably the
two biggest video games in the world. And then we
also have StarCraft two, Legacy of the Void, Dark Siders too.
I don't know, but I knew Halo, Call of Duty, Fallout,
World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy as like those are,
Like the biggest.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Part of Fantasy is a tough one.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
So how did you you go from being acting in
all these TV shows and movies? How did you? How
did the whole like voice actor thing come around.

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Well, I've always had a very deep voice, and I've
always had a facility.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
To do doing accents.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
So I did the Disney film and I met somebody early,
very very early on in the in the video game world,
and I did one of the first live action video games.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Called Solar Eclips. This was in the early nineties.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
It was a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, it was ages ago.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
A guy that I did it with, Gary Hudson, was
in it, an actor, very nice guy. Anyway, from there,
I just started getting video games early on, and I
think that the success of Babylon Five improved my sci
fi cred and then the fact that I then started

(37:00):
in a Disney film also gave, you know a little
bit of credit to my voiceover career. And you know,
some people hired me because they liked my voice or
they liked my performance in another video game, and other
people hired me just because of the fact that they
liked me and something else. So it's a very competitive field.

(37:22):
I do most most of the work I do now
is on existing video games that I've already worked on,
so it's you know, breaking into new stuff is not
as easy as it was in the nineties, it's.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
A whole different game.

Speaker 7 (37:35):
Now you have a listers doing voiceovers car campaigns. You know,
I was the voice of Jaguar for years, and you
know now that would probably be virtually impossible because you
have Kevin Costner doing car campaigns and Julia Roberts doing
voiceover campaigns and George Clooney doing coffee.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
I have a friend of mine who's clean a voiceover.
She does all the voiceover books, audiobooks, she does audio books,
and she does some video games also. And you know
what she said to me, Ron, that's my retirement the
money she's making, because you know it's it's what do
you call it? You keep getting checks on that you

(38:15):
paid once right.

Speaker 7 (38:17):
Well for fors No, you don't get residuals for games,
and you do not get residual You get residuals.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
For series.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
You get it.

Speaker 7 (38:28):
Audiobooks, you do not get residuals video games. You do
not get residuals. You get residuals for doing let's say,
like The rug Rats or the Simpsons.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
Daily on the show a couple of times, and she
does the rug Rats.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
You probably know. But anyway, if you want to get
good audio books, her name is Barbara Rosenblatt. Rosenblat with
one T. She did Barbara Streisand's life. I mean, she's
a phenomenal voice like you. She annunciates as you do.
That's what brought me to thinking of you, Barbara Rosenblat.

(39:03):
When she speaks, she has periods, question marks, and commas.
And I think that's how you speak, because I'm listening,
and I think that's why they hire you. Because you
don't mumble, and you don't whisper. You are theater trained,
I'm sure, because the last row here's you.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
I'm sure, right, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
All the quality. They just didn't hire you because your
name fell in on their desk. They know what they're doing.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Wait, do you still have to audition for video games?

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (39:37):
Yes, since you've already done and you still have to
audition competition?

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, I mean most people do have to.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
You do hundreds and hundreds of auditions and you can
book nothing. I mean, it's it's it's really, it's really
a different business nowadays.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
It's very difficult.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
You know, theatrically wise, you do all these self tapes
and just sort of throw them out into the ether
and hope for the best with voiceovers, it's the same thing.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
It's a numbers game you do.

Speaker 7 (40:03):
You can do thousands of auditions and not book a thing.
It's very, very different now, and of course people are
more sophisticated with.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
The technology and they know how to use it better.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
I'm really not committed to I have a lot of
different interests. So I'm still acting actively and I still
do voiceovers actively, but I also write and I you know,
up until early this year, I ran my nonprofit in
which I founded. I stepped down this year because we

(40:35):
donations had sort of dried up.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
We had a very rough year financially, so I stepped down.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
But I still coach people. I'm an addiction therapist, so
there's a lot of things I do. So if I
only did voiceovers, I would invest in the time and
the energy to learn, you know, specially how to do
the best auditions in the world.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
But frankly, I just I have a beautiful setup. I
do the audition, I send it in and hope for
the best.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
It's not my livelihood. Put it that way.

Speaker 7 (41:01):
It's for me. It's icing on the cake, and it's
a marvelous job. And I'm so.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Grateful when I do get the voiceover work. But I'm
sure there's other people out there that there are other
people out there, probably that that are more.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Sophisticated in their grasp of the tech technology to make
their auditions sound and sparkle even more than mine. But
or it could just be that you know that they
want a different voice. But for whatever reason is I
certainly don't book all of the auditions that I send in.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
That's for damn sure.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Now do you do audio books? That was my question?

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Audio books are thankless work. I've done my own books.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
One of my books, Wolf's Empire, is twenty four hours
long of audio, and I played over one hundred characters
from everything from the Aliens to the Roman men. I
played every character and it took me four months to
do that audio book. And to me, it's thankless work.
If it's my own book, of course I'm going to
narrate it. I will narrate my book. I had a

(42:06):
book come out last week, the Mother Tree, and I
will narrate that one. It's a children's book, and I
narrated about on Confidential and wolf S Empire. But as
as far as doing that as a job, no way,
it's it's it's very difficult work.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
It's very boring.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
I find that for so many hours both.

Speaker 7 (42:25):
Well, it's not just that you have to get every
single you try reading out loud for four hours straight
and tell me if you don't feel exhausted.

Speaker 6 (42:34):
I know absolutely. And if you're doing characters as like,
if it's a straight read, it would be easier. But
if you're actually playing all the characters in it, that's
gotta be a it's.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
Still not easy. It's still not easy if it's a
straight read. I've done straight reads. I used to do
these mystery novels when I first started my voiceover career,
and they were tedious, beyond belief because it's one inflection,
one word that you don't exactly enunciate. They catch everything
and you have to start and it's once again, read

(43:05):
out loud for as long as you can with every
single word perfectly enunciated, and every every single notation and
every punctuation perfectly, and tell me how far you get.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
You can do that tonight.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
But my friend Barbara, when she speaks, she speaks like
I've never heard another human being speak like she does. Amazing.
She's an amazing voice and she's husky because she smokes,
and I said, are you ever going to stop smoking?
She said, Ron, I'll never get hired. I smoke because
my voice is foggy. And she has this wonderful voice,

(43:44):
and she plays every character. I mean, I really wish
you would listen to one of her stories. They're wonderful.

Speaker 6 (43:50):
So wait, I want to go back. Let's promote the books.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Because I want to ask her. We have to get
off business. My audience is starting to say, Ron, get funny,
you get war because they did get bored with How
much wonderful should she do? Here's the question, Out of
all the men you worked with, who was it that
you had a crush on?

Speaker 7 (44:12):
Oh boy, I would love to say that that I
did have a crush in the beginning, I was, I
was somewhat.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I wouldn't how do I put this. I worked with people.

Speaker 7 (44:31):
Like William Conrad and you know, actors that that maybe
were a little bit dismissive or aggressive, and a lot
of the old time actors that I worked with in
the beginning, just even if I had thought that it
would be exciting to work with them, they kind of

(44:53):
blew that fantasy because of their personality.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Or their rudeness. When I got older.

Speaker 7 (44:59):
And late life, I mean, I didn't develop a crush
on but I had I developed deep respect for people
like Michael Keaton and Morgan Freeman because they were generous.
They were the opposite of who I worked with in
the beginning of my career. They were actually helpful, They
guided me, They were complimentary. They were not in a
sexual way. They didn't sexualize the women on the set.
They actually they were the same off camera that they

(45:22):
were on camera.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
You're trying to get out of the question and who
I was in a movie with Sea. I was in
a movie with Sephia Laurn when I was nineteen, and
we got to know each other so well. And when
the film was over, she kissed me on the cheek
and there were some lipstick there. When I got home,

(45:45):
I ran from my mother's house to my aunt's house.
When my mother was screaming Sepia and my mother said,
wash your face. I said never. Never. I was madly,
I know, a gay guy, madly, madly, totally in love
with this woman. She was the sweetest, the nicest, the kindest,

(46:07):
the most beautiful woman. And I tell that story all
the time time, and you know what everybody says. Women say, oh,
I would fall in love with her too, and I'm straight, Yeah,
you had to have been with somebody who you were
in awe of.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Well, I.

Speaker 7 (46:24):
Was madly in love when I was a child with
Humphrey Bogart, but I didn't know he was dead, and
it wasn't until.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
I wrote.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
I wrote my third fan letter and my mother finally
took pity on me.

Speaker 6 (46:38):
List she wrote.

Speaker 7 (46:41):
No, And by that time, my mom took pity on me,
and she pulled me aside and said, you know what,
this letter, the reason why he's not responding is because
he's dead. And I just didn't quite I couldn't make
that connection of saying this man who who was so
alive in the movies, So that's the the only person.
I mean, Honestly, I'm not being cagey. I've never worked

(47:04):
with somebody and thought, oh, I want to sleep with
that person. Ever, I've never never been on a set
and said, Wow, that guy's hot. I mean, there have
been very attractive people. Mario van Peebles was very attractive,
and George Clooney, but I slept with them both and
it was kind of a downer after that.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
So you know, we met.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Mario van Peebles. Actually last last night we watched the
rock Hutson Festival on Turner Classic and I knew rock
Hutson and I was in a couple of things with him,
and I said to Jimmy, you know I should have
molested him. He'd have a story there you go. I said,
how come I never thought that when I was with him.

(47:45):
You know, there were times that he and I were
in the same room alone, And how come I never
came on to him? Because he was absolutely Did you
ever meet Rock?

Speaker 3 (47:56):
No, I never met him.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
He was good for magnificent.

Speaker 6 (48:01):
So I want to think to go ahead, go ahead,
finish your answer.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
No, the.

Speaker 7 (48:07):
Gary Cooper I think was the most. But I mean
he was long gone.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Befo my favorite, that's my Cooper.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
He was just beautiful. And of course, carry Grant.

Speaker 6 (48:19):
How can you can you carry Grant? Carry Grant gry
Cooper's mind.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
I am, I am Carrie Grant from a different life.
I knew Patrician Neil okay, no, Patrician's great Patrician Neil lived.
My friend was what's his name? That's the star guy?
What was her name? Linda? Linda Sagan. Linda Sagan was
my it still is my good friend. She lived next
door to patriciaan Neil, and I said, I'm going to

(48:46):
go knock on her door because I want to interview her.
But so she said, I don't think she's going to
open the door. I said she will. So I knocked
on the door and I introduced myself and I said
I want to talk to you about the love affair
of your life. And she just smiled and grinned, and
she said, well, come on in. So I went into
the floyer and from the foyer on it there was

(49:06):
a round table with a big picture of Carrie Grant
of Gary Cooper, and I said to her, I said,
as we spoke, so the romance was something else. Huh
she said, what do you mean? Was it still is?
She loved him till her dying day? Oh, carry Grant,

(49:29):
She I mean Gary Cooper. She loved him beyond belief
and he was a womanizer and she put up with
all that crap for five years. I loved Patricia and
she was coming on my shows at the Record Straight
and then I got a messaged, missus Neil has passed away. Yeah,

(49:49):
she was a lovely love. You.

Speaker 7 (49:52):
Ever seen her in the movie with Andy Griffith at
Facing the Crowd?

Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Yeah. My favorite moviees fountain Head, where she's playing with
Gary Cooper when they fell in love. And I know
something that most people don't know. In the movie, she
wore a chain with a pearl. He gave that to
her and wardrobe said, no, it's not we can't do it.
She said, then I can't do the movie. I'm not

(50:18):
finishing this film unless I can wear this all the time.
She never took that. It was a very romantic love affair.
I wish they would make a movie about it because
it merits all the good stuff. I liked her a lot.
I really liked her.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
So I'm going to brag real quick for people tuning
in because this is when we put this out again
on YouTube and all one hundred and sixty platforms.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I was kidding about the men that I slept with.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Oh no, But.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
In just to brag you guys. First of all, some
of the TV shows that you've seen her on, and
most of these are huge, She's done at least one
episode of all these differ shows, Hacks, Matt Locke, Jake
and The Fat Man, The Gary Shanley Show, The Highwayman,
The New Love, American Style, Quantum, Leave, Hunter, The A Team,
Rip Tide, Falcon Crest Dallas, t J. Hooker, Webster, The Rookie,

(51:14):
n Cis the Mentalist Castle, Criminal Minds in Grim and then.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
She's a regular on nine to one one.

Speaker 6 (51:20):
You guys should no no, no recurring, recurring, Okay, recurring,
which you're fabulous on that. That's something I do watch.
It's a great show.

Speaker 7 (51:29):
That's for nine seasons. I've played the Captain of the
lapd on that show. But I'm not a series regular.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
I'm a recurring role.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Gotta get that, Okay, recurring. I'm addressing this to my audience.
You have got to see her work at some point.
I mean, the woman is incredible. I lost have seen
you in a thousand she must.

Speaker 6 (51:51):
She's also worked with Morgan Freeman. I know we mentioned this,
but I'm just mentioning it again because I wrote down
the ones. Who I know who they all are, Morgan Freeman,
Michael Keaton, Kirk Douglas, Bert Land Cast, They Done Away,
Bob Hope, Sharon Stone, Nicholas Cage, George Clooney, Donna Mici
Who I Love Donimci, And so let's talk a little
bit about the difference being a recurring role on a

(52:11):
TV series. First of all, how much different in your perspective,
because we always ask everybody anyway, from being on TV
compared to like doing a movie, is it's a lot
more difficult. I believe other people have said at least,
let's put it that way.

Speaker 7 (52:26):
And well, being a series regular is it's a grind.
But you, of course, you you know, you weigh your
the benefits and and the difficulty. So you say, Okay,
I have a regular, great paycheck and being paid very.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Well, and I'm with a group of people that I enjoy.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
It's like a family, and you spend you know, sixteen
hours a day with them, and you do that and
you can then have maybe a little bit of financial
security and a good, you know, a great credit under
your belt. I've been a series regular five six times,
and they've been wonderful experiences. I also like being recurring

(53:04):
or just a guest lead. When it comes to a movie,
it's a very it's a very intense, intimate atmosphere. You're
with the same people for two, three months longer nowadays,
and some of these big action shoots can go for
a year, the mission impossibles and so forth, and there's
a lot of sitting around when it's a big, big
budget film, a lot of sitting around. You know, you

(53:25):
can learn lots of languages in your trailer. But I
find anything from being on stage to doing a guest lead,
to doing a tiny role to being a series regular.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
It's joyful.

Speaker 7 (53:39):
There's something about I grew up in front of the
camera and on stage. I mean, it's been my life
since I was five years old when I did my
first place. So for me, just the ability to act,
to be part of a group of people that are
collaborating to bring something to life is joyous. So it
really doesn't matter what medium it's in. It of course,

(54:02):
it matters if you. You know, if you're doing a
series and you have a family and you never see them,
like a lot.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Of people in the crew and cast.

Speaker 7 (54:10):
You know crew members who who you know, they can
barely do laundry on a Sunday.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Nowadays, some of these series they end up shooting on
a Saturday as well.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
So it's a difficult it's a difficult job being a
grip or makeup artist on a hit TV series.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
It's it's really hard.

Speaker 7 (54:26):
It's long, long hours, and it's very hard to maintain
a life. But they're committed to doing this, and I
think it's a it's a wonderful thing. I mean, I
came to LA when I was sixteen, and by eighteen
I was a series regular and it was it was incredible.
I was doing Bearringers with Sam Wanamaker and Anita Morris

(54:49):
played my mother.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Yvetna Meux was in the Jack Scalia was in there.

Speaker 7 (54:55):
Ben Murphy, Yes, there were some marvelous Caesar Romero.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Played my grandfather.

Speaker 7 (55:03):
I mean, it was just axtellar cast took place in
a New York department store and I was eighteen years old.

Speaker 4 (55:09):
You know.

Speaker 7 (55:09):
Jeff Conaway was my lover. I was like I was
playing the thirty year old character and it was just
it was just wonderful. Those are in the old days
when we had John Pierre Dorleach doing the costumes, and
you know.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
You had a proper designer, you know, on.

Speaker 7 (55:23):
Set, and I think the guy who did the Guy movies,
you know you would like this because the makeup artist
on that actually was Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
That's that's how.

Speaker 7 (55:39):
That's how the eighties just was the very end end
of that golden period of movies, you know, and the
movie stars, I mean, these people. Obviously he was very
old at the time, but he said, oh yeah, I was.
I worked on Maryland on ten films, and I was like,
oh my god. You know, it was really quite quite something.
But that that's all gone now.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Yes. A story about Marilyn Monroe from Jane Russell. When
they were doing Gentlemen for Blondes, excuse me. Marilyn would
be late, of course, and then she'd go to makeup,
and Jane would wait for her and get annoyed, and
Jane would pass her dressing room and say, Marilyn, come on,
you've got ten minutes. Marilyn washed off all the makeup

(56:25):
that the makeup man put on, and there she sat
putting on her own makeup, and Jane said it was phenomenal.
She just changed. She could wash her face ten times
and reapply, reapply, reapply, And Jane said she was the
most insecure person she had ever met. But lovely, very sweet,
very kind, and Jane was very fond of her. Extremely

(56:47):
They never were rivals. They never fought on the film
like publicity did, and Jane said she felt sorry for
Marilyn because she was abused and used. So Jane Russell,
being a born again Christian, said to Marilyn and come
to my church. I think you can help. They can
help you. And the next or two days later, Marilyn
said to Jane, Jane said, ha, did you like my church.

(57:10):
Marilyn said, oh, it's not for me, Jane, It's not
for me. And Jane Russell found that interesting because she
said to me, had Marilyn stayed with my church, they
wouldn't have killed her. And I said, they wouldn't have
killed her. She said, yes, the Kennedys, they would not
have killed her. So Jane Russell was a firm believer

(57:30):
that Marilyn was murdered way before the press got it,
and now they talk about how she was murdered. Jane
was a sharp shooter. She didn't bullshit or lie. She
told it like it was. That's why people didn't like her.
She was too honest. And our business you can't be honest.
But anyway, our audience loves little gossipy shit like that

(57:54):
we have. They love name dropping. You know, we're on
the air. Fourteen year eighteen years.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Eighteen years, and you still have.

Speaker 6 (58:04):
We didn't have a thing called podcast when we started
the show. It was just an interview show on the radio.
And then podcasts developed and we became podcasts, and.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
We're the number one podcast I guess celebrity interview podcast. Yes,
we're the number one, and we have five million viewers.
So right now five million people when that goes out
on syndication, she has five million viewers.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
Works.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (58:38):
He doesn't do the numbers.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
I went on a movie set okay, and I said
to the director, but where's the camera? He said, up there.
I said, that's a security camera. He said, no, that's
the camera we're working with. I said, you got to
be kidding me. Eight milimeter Kodak. You know, I'm us

(59:00):
to the olden days. You know what it was like?

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Yes, of course, big.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Wait.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
Wait, the cameras are the size of taxi cabs or Volkswagen.
It was exciting. I remember going on the set and
before they they lit it, and suddenly when they lit it,
oh my god, it was like I was right, I
was in wonderland. I couldn't worry.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
When they had film.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
I remember talking about the old film days when they
had on cheap projects, like low budget films, they would
run out of film and they'd use short ends, so
they'd have all these little short ends and you'd have
to stop the.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Scene and then they'd have to rewire.

Speaker 7 (59:41):
And then back in the film days, they had hair lights,
eye lights. They had all these special things that would
light your little lights that would go behind your hair
and give.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
You that glove.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Yeah, they would. They would spend hours lighting these hours.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Now it's hours.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Let them look like you. Yeah, it was. It was
actually different.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
You're playing a bad guy. It's not easy because you
have to have your bad guy face. Yes, And you're like.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
So I want to go back, go back real quick
because earlier you mentioned the Disney film and I didn't
write the Disney film down or I don't know, I
didn't know it was a Disney film. What is the
Disney film that helped you career wise as you were
going as you as you were coming through the ranks.

Speaker 7 (01:00:28):
Atlantis The Last Empire that was in two thousand and one,
and James, that's an.

Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
Animated film, right, that's animated.

Speaker 7 (01:00:37):
Michael J.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
Fox plays the lead. James Garner, Chris summer Don Novello.

Speaker 7 (01:00:42):
Phil Morris, David Oggens, Steers was in it, John Mahoney,
Jim Varnes.

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
He saw it. I didn't know who all those people
were in it, but I did actually see it. I
collect action figures and toys, and so I always like
to see the movies and check out all the toys
of everything.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
So, oh yeah, I'm a happy Meal.

Speaker 7 (01:00:58):
I played Helgas and Claire Happy Meal figure.

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
Yeah, you have a what is it called?

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
I am a funk o pop. I'm a funk o pop.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
We are?

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Who are you? A fun for Babylon five.

Speaker 7 (01:01:14):
World of Warcraft Alas and also Babylon five Susan Vanova.

Speaker 6 (01:01:18):
Yes, I love that. So I collect that action. I
mean I have a very extensive collection. A matter of fact,
I have a horror movie that I'm developing right now,
and I've already made the action figures for it, like
it's twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Oh that's great, my pop. How you my funk o pop?
It's funny. All it is is black eyebrows and big, big,
hairy white hair.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
With that.

Speaker 6 (01:01:42):
So people want to get those signed. Right when you
do conventions, they want to get those signed. Because I
have a bunch of signed ones by real cool people.
That's fun. I'll have to go looking now on eBay
for like, do.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
You like going to those conventions?

Speaker 7 (01:01:54):
I wouldn't like it if I if I was, I
don't think I would like it if I had to
go if it was sort of the way I made
my living. But I do it very infrequently and usually
in places that I want to go, so yes, I
enjoy them. This last year I went to Poland and

(01:02:15):
I went to Wales and they were fantastic. And then
next year I'm doing Berlin, Germany, and I'm doing Vermont,
which I love Vermont. So you know, I go places
that I enjoy and I only do a couple of years,
so yes, I do enjoy them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
They're you know, when you do them that infrequently, they're fun.

Speaker 7 (01:02:35):
If you had to do them every weekend, I would
imagine that it would be a slow you know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
I see, my friend were here in Palm Springs where
we live, at the convention center. They had a big
signing and Jane Russell said sit at my table with
me to help me because she didn't see too good.
She had macuiler and I was at Jane's table and
next to me was Tony Curtis and you know, all
the big stars. So it was very nice, and I

(01:03:00):
felt bad for these people because they were spending thirty
dollars for an autograph.

Speaker 6 (01:03:06):
Now it's more.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
And Jane Russell was very kind because she'd say to them,
wouldn't you like a photograph? And she never charged extra
for a photograph. She charged the same as a signature,
and I thought that was very kind of her and
loving because she felt bad for the people. Also because
a lot of them didn't even look like they could
afford thirty bucks, you know what I mean, because you

(01:03:30):
had to pay to get in. It was maybe fifty
bucks to get in.

Speaker 7 (01:03:34):
Yeah, but you have to realize that a lot of
these people they buy her the like I get.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
On average.

Speaker 7 (01:03:40):
I would say, let's say thirty forty pieces of fan
mail a week delivered to my PO box, and in
it are requests for me to sign things. I know
for a fact because I've seen them on eBay. I
know that people just resell them. So when you're at
a convention, you personalize it and it's the experience of

(01:04:02):
meeting the celebrities, not so much because ha ha, we
have center.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
They were not selling this stuff that you could see
they were ordinary.

Speaker 6 (01:04:13):
Now we because we went to we went to a
movie premiere recently and I saw a fan come up
and the start of the film was Richard Griico, and
they had a stack of pictures asking him to say,
you're going to sell them?

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
Those people I wouldn't do.

Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
I always get everything personalized for my collection, so I
wanted to be personalized, so I don't ever resell them.

Speaker 7 (01:04:30):
Yeah, but I think, I think, Ron, what I'm trying
to tell you is is that people go to these conventions.
You might feel badly like they can't afford it, but
this is what they I've been doing conventions for thirty
years that and I've had lots of chats with them.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
I at one point wanted to do a documentary on.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
The fans would be good.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
Yeah, And they said, it's it's the community, it's the
experience of going there, it's getting away from their home.
It's they plan for it, they say up for it,
they know which conventions they want to go do, they
see all their friends there, and then the icing on
the cake is spending that that few minutes with the
celebrity that they like. And also a lot of them

(01:05:11):
have really extensive collections that they don't want to buy
it on eBay, or they want the personal connection of
saying she signed it right in front of me, and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
They will pay that.

Speaker 7 (01:05:21):
They'll pay one hundred dollars for William Shatner's autograph, even
if he doesn't personalize and he doesn't look make eye contact.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
They want it. That's I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
You're willing to pay for it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
James. You know that's what I understand. That we talk
about it, she said, Ron, why do people want this?
This is stupid? I understand. I said, well, you're here
are She said yeah, because my guy booked me here
and she never did it again. She did it only wants.
Linda Evans, also from Dynasty, we spoke about it, and
Linda said, it's more money.

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
She said, we have four minutes, and I gotta like
you getting something else. First of all, though I totally
understand it, and I being a collector, I totally like
understand it, and I love it, and uh, and now
that I.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
Know that, I want to go, but I will go.

Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
I won't buy autograph things on eBay, but I will
buy your just the actual funk Go pop so I
can put them in my collection I have on the show.
I have a.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
Collection of Jane Russell stuff. I have a bra she wore.
Has she to bar from my daughter? Jane Russell did
not eat in anyone's house with their silver. She carried
her own fork and she traveled with her own pillow
So I have. I have her fork, I have the
pillow case. I have a pocket book with Jane Russell

(01:06:36):
on it with a smoky gun and she said, Ron,
you do like the naughty girls? Love youa Jane. So
I have, but I'll never sell it. That's my stuff.
I don't. I miss Jane Russell every day.

Speaker 6 (01:06:49):
Okay, we have three minutes. Here's a question. I like
to ask you everybody bucket list, bucket list, and you've
worked with almost everybody male and female actor that you
have not had a chance to work with that you
would like to work with, and they could be living
or dead. And if you could have ever been in
any movie that's ever been made, what movie would you
have liked to happen?

Speaker 4 (01:07:08):
And if you don't say, Ron Russell, I forgive you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Oh gosh, that's so unfair. I mean there there there
are a million I would have loved to work with.
Peter O'Toole. Yes, I would have loved to work with
all the great Brits.

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
Geez the year right or part of the year.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 7 (01:07:38):
I do live in in England, in London, yes, as
well as Los Angeles. I would say that any film
that that Robin Williams or Jim Carrey ever did, I
would have liked to do. I'd like to do comedy more,
any of those wacky comedies or Eddie Murphy's roles.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
Great smile and you have a great laugh, and so
I could work working with We know all about carry.
He was married to our friend, oh h, Lauren Lauren Holly,
Lauren Harley.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
We were really good friends with Lauren Holly's father before
he passed away like.

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
Last year, so we know stories about him.

Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
I loved him.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
He was totally off the wall, apparently, you.

Speaker 7 (01:08:26):
Know, people aren't aren't exactly like they see, you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
I remember meeting Steve Martin briefly. Well, I didn't meet him.

Speaker 7 (01:08:32):
I saw him in a record store and back when
we used to have Blockbuster, and you know, he was
really subdued and and and he was speaking to the
person working there, and I thought, you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Know, we expect people to be like, hey, like they
are on screen there and they're not.

Speaker 7 (01:08:47):
They're in comedians. They're usually very introverted and quiet and shy,
and they come alive when when.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
They're meant to be exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:08:55):
I have a whole secret life where I'm this is
the professional plaudia but funny.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
Lacking.

Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
I actually we've because we've had a lot of comedians
come on the show that I thought would be great guests,
and I don't book comedians anymore because they're really not
good guests.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
Joan Rivers was a friend of mine and we did
a thing at the Manhattan Center in New York City
and Joe and the first time I met her, this
is back thirty years or forty years ago, and I
expected Joan to be hilarious. She was the most serious
woman I have ever met. I mean, absolutely not funny,
very smart. But when she went out on the stage,

(01:09:33):
boy oh boyd it, she met him office into this
outrageous star. So plenty of comedians want to do drama
because they're better dramatic actors than they are comedians. That
will talk about the next time you come on our show.

Speaker 8 (01:09:48):
So I like you.

Speaker 6 (01:09:51):
So you guys Thanksgiving Claudia on Instagram artificial Quadia Christian.
You guys watch all of her stuff. She it's a
true talent. It's really an honor. Thank you so much

Speaker 6 (01:10:17):
We're gonna do a quick music break. You guys. This
is a rocalino I'm not Gay Love Foundation. We played
it last week and you got a lot of response
from it. And when we come back, we'll be on
with Johnny Parati. So enjoy everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
Great.

Speaker 9 (01:11:04):
If I were gay, I wouldn't look at you like this.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):

And now we're gonna bring on our second guest, mister
Johnny Parotti.

Speaker 8 (01:13:27):
Hey, dude, going on?

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
Is it Pari or paroti?

Speaker 8 (01:13:33):
Either way if you're.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
If you're in Italy, it's Parati. If you're in America,
it's Paroti because the Americans don't know how to speak
an Italian name like an Italian name.

Speaker 6 (01:13:47):
So you're Italian a little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:13:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
So, now, how was it when you used to be
a woman and now you're a man? What was the change? Difficult?

Speaker 8 (01:14:00):
Just tucked it back?

Speaker 6 (01:14:01):
So hold on, let's get a let's get a proper introduction. Hey, everybody,
now we want to welcome to the Jimmy Star Show
with Ron Russell, actor, ghost Hunter, producer Johnny Parati.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
Hello, welcome to the show and friend and friend.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
That's right, you guys, and he's the funnest guy on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
And you want to see him on the set when
he plays the pig Hammy.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
It's hysterically you guys. Johnny plays Hammy in the Clown
Hotel franchise.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
And what they don't do, what they don't do to Hammy.
You got to watch the movie. It is really ubscene
and filthy and dirty and gross, but so funny. It's hilarious,
right Johnny, what they do to you?

Speaker 8 (01:14:47):
Yeah, it's for you guys.

Speaker 6 (01:14:49):
Yeah, I don't know, funny for you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
First of all, let's go back. So you're from Rochester,
but now you live in Las Vegas. How do you
like living in Las Vegas?

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Oh? I love it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:02):
There's there's a reason I've never went back home there.

Speaker 6 (01:15:05):
You go and and and you did you know the
Mahall brothers or no?

Speaker 8 (01:15:10):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:15:12):
I never worked with them, but I know they where
I met him a couple of times.

Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
Because they live and they lived there also. And we
have our friends share.

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
That our friend is moving to Vegas. Who's our friend,
Marcel Bolts?

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
Was he really?

Speaker 8 (01:15:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
It's on my Facebook page.

Speaker 6 (01:15:27):
Well I have to look that up and see.

Speaker 4 (01:15:28):
Marcel and Dominant moving to Las Vegas.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
That's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
Everybody's moving to Las Vegas.

Speaker 8 (01:15:34):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
I guess they're all Republicans. I don't know, they're moving
out of California.

Speaker 6 (01:15:40):
So we have, uh, we have people in the chat
room say hi to the chatter room down saying hi Handy.
Everybody loves Hammy. Nobody loves Handy. And it's actually puts
you on the on the horror movie map because you
go out in costume, you go to conventions and sign
autographs and stuff in costume, so it makes it a
lot of fun. So I enjoy the whole thing, and
I think it's a lot of fun. Tell us, how

(01:16:00):
did you get involved in Clawan Hotel in the first place,
living in New York and everybody else was not there?
How did you even meet Joe Kelly and get involved
with the whole thing?

Speaker 8 (01:16:09):
So it's actually kind of funny. He had I had
a paranormal show that I was doing called the what
was it even called Life After Death Paranormal? That's that's
what my team was called. Okay, and Joe and his
buddy Rob Wickman who lived in Rochester and Joe Kelly

(01:16:31):
lived in Rochester for a time too. Yeah, but they
had reached out to somebody on my team to talk
at one of their film festivals and the guy said no,
but he didn't tell any of us. So, like a
couple of weeks went by and I heard about it,
and I'm like, why would you say no? That is
like it's something to do, you know, get out there.

(01:16:52):
So I called Joe and Rob myself and told them, yeah,
I will come, you know, give a presentation on some
evidence I have from ghosts coming and some haunted objects
I had at the time. And I did it one
year and became friends with Joe and Rob. I ended
up doing it for three years with them. And then
Joe goes, I want you to come over to my

(01:17:13):
house or Rob's house and film just a small scene
for the first Clown Hotel. So originally I was just
playing one of the military and I run on set.
I yelled, the towel heads are coming and I get
blown up, and that was the first thing we filmed.
It was like two seconds, and that was it. A

(01:17:34):
couple of weeks go by and Joe reaches out to
me and he goes, I'm gonna be in Rochester again
for a convention where he was selling some of his
older movies getting made, and I was sitting there. We're
talking for a while and he's like, I'm gonna cut
that part of the movie out that we filmed with you.
I'm like, all right, you know whatever. I thought it'd
be cool to be in a movie, but I was

(01:17:54):
like whatever, I had no plan to ever do with that.
So he's like, no, I want you to be Hammy,
and I'm like, I don't know what the hell of
Hammy is. But up, I had never seen a script.
I had no clue anything about this movie. But he
told me he would pay me and he'd find me
out to La and Vegas. And I was like, I've

(01:18:15):
never been to the West coast, so sign me up.
Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
And that's how you got in. That's Hammy.

Speaker 6 (01:18:22):
Besides the main like Joe being his character, and you're
probably probably the most favorite character in the whole movie
because of what you.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
Do in the movie.

Speaker 6 (01:18:30):
The kids, the kids like, everybody like loves it. And
I think I know the kids.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
The kids will go crazy because they imitate, you know,
they do all your lines and stuff because it's it's
it's nasty, it's a little dirty and they love it. Yeah,
it's a good character to play. It's a character that
that you remember.

Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
Yeah, everybody remembers my character.

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
Nobody gives a shit about. And I said to Joe
when he said, will you do the second one? I said,
only if you kill me, I'll do the therapy. You
kill me, And that's the way I was guaranteed he
wouldn't ask me to do a fourth. Now he's talking

(01:19:16):
about coming back as ghosts and stuff, so I just said, listen,
I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (01:19:23):
Yeah. I mean I got killed in the.

Speaker 4 (01:19:25):
Cast as Piggy. You know, all your life in the
first one they shot you. Got to move on to
other things. So wait, go ahead, what'd you say, Johnny.

Speaker 8 (01:19:37):
In the first movie they shot me in the head
and killed me. Yeah, it didn't matter.

Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
I guess. Didn't you come back as a ghost. No,
he just came back client. Yeah, Jon doesn't care he
kills you. You're back.

Speaker 8 (01:19:53):
Once. Once he did the kickstarter for the movie and
realized people want to be back, He's like, oh, he's
back alive. We'll just toss him back in again. Whatever
brings the money in.

Speaker 6 (01:20:02):
Right, So that was actually the movie that got you
interested in making movies because before basically you were a
ghost hunter yep, and you have a ghost hunting production company,
Gravehouse Productions. But you've done a bunch of movies since
you you did Clown Motel because I wrote a whole
bunch of them down and some of them we we've seen.
I don't know how many Immortal Wars movies are.

Speaker 8 (01:20:23):
There, Oh man, there's uh. I want to say, there's
like eight possibly, and.

Speaker 6 (01:20:30):
Then they've already.

Speaker 8 (01:20:35):
I believe so, because there's the Immortal Wars. But then
like the Case Paradox that I'm in is part of
Immortal Wars, but it's called the Case Paradox. So like
total in that universe, I believe there's like eight maybe more.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
We went to the premiere of one of them, and
for a low budget film, it actually wasn't that bad.
I don't I didn't think it was bad. I don't
know which one we went to see though, because you're
also in the Immortal Wars Rebirth and oh aren't you.

Speaker 8 (01:21:02):
We're not sure. So when I filmed the way that
it was weird. So when I filmed The Case Paradox,
I was filming Clown Motel two at the same time.
So I would leave Cloneotel two set and I would
head over to Joe Luhan's set and film the case
Paradox the same day. So I would just changing my

(01:21:25):
clothes and costume and filming a whole other movie all
at the same time.

Speaker 4 (01:21:29):
See we did that. What movie was Paradise? What? Or
was the title Paradix?

Speaker 8 (01:21:34):
Decay's Paradox is one of the Immortal Wars like US
Mortal Wars.

Speaker 6 (01:21:38):
Decay's Paradise. So the guy who was the videographer for
Clown Motel two when we were up in a big Mayor,
that's Joe Luhan. And he has his own movie called
The Immortal Wars, which we went to go see one
of the premieres in la and he was shooting that
at the same time. Because that's also the same time
that Ron and I shot our little thing Incompatible. We

(01:22:00):
are in the bedroom with the house there and when
you're incompatible too, right.

Speaker 8 (01:22:05):
That's a good question. When I filmed where is that
films for compatible?

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
But I don't know is it compatible?

Speaker 4 (01:22:12):
Is not out yet? He told me that he's seen.

Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
He told me he's sending out they had that's because
the dumb thing about that is they did in Colorado.
Who the fuck goes to Colorado?

Speaker 8 (01:22:22):
Yes, But and I don't even know if I'm in
the movie because I filmed a scene where I'm supposed
to be one of the guys like watching. Yeah, but
I'm a pizza shop owner, so I'm wearing I'm wearing
a pizza hat and this thretty uh smock pizza maker

(01:22:44):
that is a it's a pineapple, right, and a slice
of pizza, and it's it's supposed to be dirty, And
like I say, I'm like like a pizza owner that
I've owned it for sixty nine years and flinging sausage
and all this stuff. So I filmed all that, but
I have no idea if it's in the movie or not.

Speaker 4 (01:23:03):
I don't know. Jimmy and I were clothed, of course,
we were not naked. We were dressed in clothing, but
we were in a bed. And Joe said, I'm going
to shoot it a lot of ways dirty, dirty or
dirty is the filthiest? And I said, well, that's up
our alley. I think they used all of them. Wait wait,

(01:23:26):
you blew it. See you got a big fucking mouth,
you blew it Anyway, I said, to Joe with so,
which one did you use? He said, we used all
of them. I said, how's that? He said, because one
was filthier than the other and funnier than the other.
I'm dying to see it because I thought they were out.
So I said to Sherry Davis, they're not going to

(01:23:48):
use that. Sherry, I thought you know that we throw
it away. That the one I like was semi dirty,
but he loved the filthiest one. One was really filthy.

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
The director and he told me that he's going to
have that. It hasn't been They don't have distribution for
it yet. I think they're still working it out. But
he's going to have copies of the movie made and
he'll send me one when he gets a maide so nice.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
You can love me.

Speaker 8 (01:24:12):
You can let me know if I know if you're.

Speaker 6 (01:24:16):
I love it though, because I think it's fun. And
then you're also in Clowny, but I don't remember we don't.
We only shut in Clowney one day.

Speaker 8 (01:24:24):
I think we haven't filmed our scenes for Clowney yet.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
Oh, because you're in the altar, you're in the other world.

Speaker 8 (01:24:31):
I'm in the dream scene. I'm supposed to be a
Farmer with Sean Phillips is the last I was told,
and then we just we haven't filmed any of it yet,
so I don't know what's going on with that either.

Speaker 6 (01:24:42):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:24:43):
I want to tip you off on how to get
a lot of work. How you get a lot of work.
Say you're never going to do a horror movie again.
Since I announced that I'm not doing these movies ever again,
I've gotten more proposals through.

Speaker 6 (01:24:58):
These everybody wants movie.

Speaker 4 (01:25:01):
And I say, no more, no more. I'm doing legitimate
movies like years ago. I wanted to. I want to act.
I want to be in a good production. I'm tired
of these low budget I don't know how to I
don't know five the movies.

Speaker 8 (01:25:18):
It's tough because I mean, even with you know, Clomb
will Tell three and some other ones, I'm I still
haven't been fully paid. Well you're either, yeah, and like
I owed money from that, and like I took time
off of my regular job to fill these movies. And
then when you don't get paid, it really screws you.

Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
Know, I get paid. I'm an actor.

Speaker 6 (01:25:41):
Well he hasn't been paid yet neither.

Speaker 8 (01:25:44):
When it doesn't fully come through.

Speaker 4 (01:25:47):
Understand he's in trouble, but he owes us a lot
of money, and I know he'll pay eventually, so I'm
not You can discuss this, because I.

Speaker 8 (01:25:55):
Think that's why I go back towards the paranormal stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:25:59):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:26:00):
After we film Clown Hotel, I was in a pretty
bad car accident and I have a brain injury.

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
Now I have.

Speaker 8 (01:26:09):
Spinal injuries, and I can't remember lines anymore, like at all.
I remember a lot of things. So yeah, it makes
movies pretty hard though, So that's why I'm going more
super normal.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
He has uh, he has he wears a hearing aid,
and I take the phone and I like, I like,
he knows the line, but he has trouble at the
beginning of it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:32):
No, my trouble is I know the line, but I
don't know where it belongs. And if the other actor,
who's a schmuck, you know, one of these painted plate
paid plays, they don't know how to deliver a line.
They stand there and they wait for me to say
my line. So the airline, but the airline should have
come before my line. I just find that unprofessionalism frustrating

(01:26:58):
and makes it hard, doesn't make me look good. I
don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:27:02):
It's tough when it's a lot of pay to play
and it's it's a big issue because you know, I
don't want to put down these people that are paying
for roles.

Speaker 4 (01:27:11):
But I do.

Speaker 8 (01:27:12):
They're only paying for roles. They're not actors, right, tell
everyone they're actors. But you're not acting, You're just you're
an ATM machine.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
I mean, I'm sixty four years in the business stage
as well as film and TV. Okay, when I work
the professionalism shows because it has to, it's there. You
get sixty four years. And if I have some more
on that's standing there immature and not working. I look
like I'm overplaying. I look like I'm trying to bandstand

(01:27:45):
grandstand the whole scene and I don't, so I have
to cut back. And if I cut back, I look
like the amateur that he is, and I refuse to
do that. I refuse. So I totally did it.

Speaker 8 (01:27:58):
Because like when we filmed the bedroom scene with with
Hammy and the New the Third Clown Hotel, I'm supposed
to run in, deliver a line, jump to the bed,
and then other people are supposed to follow behind me.
But the following behind me is ninety pa play people

(01:28:19):
and I'm I'm running in and I'm delivering my line
and they're running me over to get in front of
the camera, and I'm like, what what are you doing?
You're all gonna be on camera. They just some of
them just they want to be stars so bad that
I don't know it kind.

Speaker 6 (01:28:37):
Of it drives me crazy to some of them.

Speaker 8 (01:28:39):
And then we also had something that did really well.
I will say like John Swango, who played one of
the military that he did amazing. I think he's a
great guy. He's a real good friend of mine. He
lives out here, but I think he did great as
like a first time person.

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
The first day that we were on set and we
went to that hotel and bakfast and he was sitting
at the table next to us and we talked very nice.
So wait, let's real quick, you guys, because we're not
going to play this again until the movie comes out, maybe,
but we're gonna play that premiere the trailer for Clown
Motel Three Ways to Hell, because Ron's in it, Johnny's

(01:29:18):
in it, and so you guys can look for Hammy
and look for General Milan because we're not going to
play this again. But since we're to pay.

Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
It, so here it is.

Speaker 6 (01:29:26):
Everybody. Check out the trailer for Clown Motel. Three ways
to Hell.

Speaker 8 (01:29:30):
You for you're ancenstrious separation.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
That's human world and the clown moment.

Speaker 9 (01:29:39):
First you came, I steal our gold, so I'm going
to steal your soul.

Speaker 4 (01:30:05):
What's the herd?

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
We have twelve Missy military members.

Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
You can do it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:19):
General, are you seeing one last rescue mission?

Speaker 4 (01:30:22):
We have one shot of this. Let's break a couch.
We go from silent down to kill her clowns from
outer space.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
Welcome to the Clown moves out.

Speaker 4 (01:30:50):
Ever hear of the blood ritual. The transform me shoe
was a success.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Now go get me those sacrifices. I love you.

Speaker 6 (01:31:36):
To see the Queen was chosen.

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
Welcome the Crown Motel as it.

Speaker 6 (01:32:11):
I like love it. Actually, I know that these are
low bunch of movies, but like I really like enjoy
the whole franchise. I think it's a lot of fun.
One of the things that I think is the best though,
that really helps sell it is the artwork. I mean,
the posters for every movie are like spot on, like
they make you want to go watch the movie, whether
you like the movie or not. And I think you
guys are both great in the movie. And you're right

(01:32:36):
about John Swango. He was such a nice guy. And
didn't he go and make his own movie right after that?
He's already made his own movie.

Speaker 8 (01:32:42):
He went and he was part of Desert Fiendes too.

Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
Oh, I thought he actually did a movie too. Desert
Fians is a good movie too. They get a lot
of people.

Speaker 8 (01:32:51):
I believe he was a EP on that.

Speaker 6 (01:32:53):
Okay, Yeah, I like love it. I think it's like
a lot of fun. So you have another film called
Twas a Night and that's actually all that's actually a
Christmas movie. I think it's a Christmas movie, right.

Speaker 8 (01:33:04):
It's a Christmas horror movie.

Speaker 6 (01:33:06):
By Joe lou Han. So Joeluhan, you guys, going back
to our earlier conversation, is the guy who did the
Immortal Wars regard, So tell us a little bit about
it because we got the trailer and we might as
well play it since it's.

Speaker 8 (01:33:16):
Christmas, Okay, So it's kind of supposed to remind you
of what Christmas is about and what could happen if
you don't follow what Christmas is. So it has Crampis.
I play the killer gingerbread man. We have a killer
Elf and Jack Frost love. So it's kind of like

(01:33:40):
the story of this little girl who wasn't necessarily taking
Christmas how it was supposed to be, and something happened
to her sisters, and then the people who captured them
apparently were getting punished now by us. Yeah, I guess
that's actually.

Speaker 6 (01:33:59):
I have a seven foot like animatronic uh, crampis in
my collection. But I freaking like love all right, everybody.
So this is called Twas the Night, a new film,
uh by Joe Luhan. I think it's on to be
or Where's it's on someplace? Right?

Speaker 8 (01:34:15):
I think it's on to be Amazon. There's a few
different places it's on.

Speaker 6 (01:34:19):
I believe it's called twas a Night you guys, and
Joe Luhan is l u j A n So check
out the trailer.

Speaker 4 (01:34:24):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (01:34:25):
Enjoy white this night.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
I'm gonna want to work on Christmas Eve.

It's the one night everyone is to focused on parties
and Christmas gifts and all of that crown So so
one night we can move on to tech it.

Speaker 6 (01:35:04):
Why are you doing this?

Speaker 8 (01:35:05):
You know?

Speaker 5 (01:35:06):
When I was younger, my parents told me and my
sister these Christmas stories about santas little helpers.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
H m hmm, it looks fun. I like the gingerbread Man.

Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
That is a terrible, terrible preview. It is so fucking dark.
I couldn't say ship.

Speaker 8 (01:35:56):
Where were you?

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
Pretty dark?

Speaker 4 (01:35:59):
Where were your? Continue? In the dark? He was a
gingerbread man. They got a light enough. You know, Ron
hates it.

Speaker 6 (01:36:06):
We were watching what were we watching?

Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:36:08):
On Apple TV? We're watching the second season of that
thing that takes place in Palm Beach or whatever, and
it's so dark, like all the scenes are so dark.
He's just like, I can't even like watch this, Like
that's like a new thing that Hollywood's doing.

Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
They make everything low key shooting.

Speaker 8 (01:36:25):
I agree, it makes it really hard to see.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
Listen, you lose the value of the set. The set
costs a lot of money. And if you don't use
the set because it's dark, what was the point? So
you have to lighten up? It's it's that doesn't work.
Actors don't need lighting to make them better. A good
actor doesn't need lighting.

Speaker 6 (01:36:50):
So let's just plug you as a as a paranormal investigator.
Your company again, Gravehouse Productions. You guys can follow his
company on Instagram and Gravehouse, Understore, Underscore Productions, Underscore LV,
Underscore two. And So you've been on paranormal different paranormal
TV shows, Paranormal Crossroads, Live, My Paranormal Nightmare, Ghost Detectives,

(01:37:13):
And are you allowed to say tell everybody that you're
going to eventually be on that other show or not?

Speaker 8 (01:37:19):
Yeah? Yeah, they said I could, just can't say the location.
I guess.

Speaker 6 (01:37:24):
Okay, So he's also you guys, he's also going to
be on an episode of Ghost Adventures, which is the
biggest paranormal show in the world. So that's a really
big deal. That's fun. I've actually met all those guys
at a convention. They were really nice. Many many like
twenty years like probably twenty years ago. That show has
been on for a long time, right.

Speaker 8 (01:37:44):
Yeah, there's I'm like, I think season thirty of the
regular shows.

Speaker 4 (01:37:48):
So okay, which means we could segue into our comic
book is out for sale.

Speaker 6 (01:37:54):
Let's right, it's on Amazon, you guys, Celebrity ghost.

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
Hunters, Celebrity ghost Hunters. It's just really happened. We all
went to this the Crazy House on Long island that
was closed forty years ago, and it was spooky as
all hell, and things happened, and they thought it was
so good they made a comic book and thank you
for making me look dirty. So when we got the

(01:38:20):
comic book, I said, Oh, there's Jimmy, there's Heidling. Who
the fuck is that? Yes, right, forty years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
So you've done a bunch of horror movies, and I
guess horror and sci fi? Do you like horror movies, Like,
before you actually ever made a horror movie, did you
watch horror movies?

Speaker 8 (01:38:38):
So when I was young, I was terrified of horror movies,
but as I got older, it's weird. So when I
was like around nine ten years old, I lived in
a really haunted house and I was terrified. And that
show My Paranormal Nightmare. It's a travel channel, but it's

(01:39:01):
a show that they actually filmed. They interviewed me and
my brother and had us talk about our experience as
kids growing up on a haunted house, and then they
did the reenactments of it. But after going through that
for a few years, it got me into horror movies
and more into the paranormal because I wanted to know

(01:39:23):
like what the hell was going on and causing it?
So that's kind of like what started me. When I
was real little, I was terrified. I wanted no part
of paranormal horror movies, none of that stuff at all.

Speaker 6 (01:39:35):
I lived in a hanted house when he was in Boca.
His house was haunted.

Speaker 4 (01:39:42):
It wasn't haunted. We had a ghost.

Speaker 6 (01:39:48):
It was a friendly ghost.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
He came and took the jamas on, and he'd run
from the bedroom to the living room and disappear and
people had the people sing him. He was all grayish
and whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:39:59):
Yeah, they knock over a dresser, we don't know. Oh yeah,
so like a five hundred pound dresser just knocked over my.

Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
Make up stories. It was a big ass heavy a
three hundred pound dog who kicked furniture around and Scobie
kicked it over because he was balking at somebody outside
the door. It was in a fourier entry for you,
and he kicked it over. It was My kids liked
to make it a ghost, so I made it a ghost. Okay,

(01:40:29):
but you really did see a ghost, right. I saw
somebody in pajamas, an old man, a skinny, little old
hunched over man in pajamas, run from the bedroom to
the living room. So, so what are some of your
favorite horror movies?

Speaker 8 (01:40:46):
The one I probably I started and grew up with
was Halloween with Michael Myers. That was that was probably
always my favorite growing up, just because I liked how
he was until it got crazy where they started shooting
him and he was alive, chopped his head off and
he came back to like in the original ones. It
was always to me just very regular. He walked everywhere,

(01:41:09):
he didn't run, but he always ended up where he
had to be, and it was just very realistic to me,
and I always thought that that's something that could happen,
So that one always was my favorite and scared of
me the most. And then getting to meet and work
with Tony Tony Moran, who was one of the first
Michael hotel That was pretty cool, getting the bim and

(01:41:29):
hang out for a little bit.

Speaker 6 (01:41:31):
The one, the one that got me growing up was
when a stranger calls because it could have really it
could that stuff like that could really happen, you know,
where somebody's hiding in your house, the kids and stuff.
So my parents that wouldn't let me see any of
those movies. My dad didn't like any movies that kids
got hurt, so I hadn't want. I didn't get to
see any of them until I went off to college,
and then I saw The Exorcist and and and stuff

(01:41:58):
like that. Uh went a strange your calls Halloween was
a good one. I'm a big hell Raizor fan because
I actually we've had all the people from hellwayser on
here and Clive Parker.

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
You know, you believe I've never seen one of them.
I've never seen a Halloween or any of the movies
speaking of I find them stupid, a waste of time
and no talent as far as the acting goes, or
the script or the writ it's.

Speaker 6 (01:42:26):
It's it's just.

Speaker 4 (01:42:28):
Bullshit. It's chop him, scare him and hit him and
stab him and blood. That's not a movie to me
that satisfies the minds of demented people, which is almost everybody.
I love them. I like, I like.

Speaker 8 (01:42:41):
I like the ones that are more psychological and go
more like deep into things. That's kind of why I like.
I like a lot of the paranormal, and like I
look a lot of the conjuring ones. Yeah, No, last
conjuring they've gone so far off the walls. I didn't
see the actual stories like with me. So I spoke
with Lorraine more before she passed away, and Tony Sparrow's

(01:43:05):
son of Maas helped me with some of the cases
and stuff I dealt with when I was a little younger.
But like, if they stuck to the actual case and
what happened, it's terrifying enough, but then Hollywood takes that
and sensationalizes it so insane that the story is not

(01:43:25):
believable anymore, and I hate that they do that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
I don't like.

Speaker 4 (01:43:31):
A good movie was Poltergeist, the first one. The first one.
I loved Poltergeist because it was interesting, It had a
good script, and the actors were fabulous. The photography was
great for the diet for the time, and it was worthy.

Speaker 6 (01:43:47):
The remake was terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:43:49):
But these movies that I'm in, I had to tell
you as I'm doing them, I'm vomiting, and then when
I have to see them, pew twice again. This, Oh,
I'm so embarrassed. I really would prefer to stay on stage.
I was a star when I was on stage, But

(01:44:09):
in movies that I.

Speaker 8 (01:44:11):
Do now.

Speaker 6 (01:44:14):
Just terrible. So let's go to a question.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
Every one of them are off.

Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
Because we know they're not all awful.

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
Which one was good? The Beast inside is pretty good?

Speaker 8 (01:44:24):
No, it's not.

Speaker 6 (01:44:28):
And the one where you play the preacher like except
for certain parts of it.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
No, they're all.

Speaker 6 (01:44:34):
Well, he's comparing things because he likes, you know, all
movies from the fifties, and we don't like.

Speaker 4 (01:44:39):
All movies from the fifties. I like the movies I
did when I was young. I like the movies that
people watch again today, the movies I'm in. I don't
think they have a play number one, and if they
do play, I don't think people see them twice. So
there's no classics, there's no But he knows what I'm
talking about. Yeah, but climb Hotel. I am an actor.

(01:45:01):
I am a good actor. I am able to transcend
from who I am to the character. I have that
magic ability. Okay, I'm theater trained. I've been on stage
for years, and I just said, I'm caught in the
groove that I don't want to be in with all amateurs.

(01:45:23):
Today they're garbage man. Tomorrow they're making a movie. Their producers.

Speaker 6 (01:45:29):
That's true. I actually reached out to someone to.

Speaker 4 (01:45:33):
Work on a film. I'm a professional. I could spot
a phony a mile away, so when I go to
a production, I know who's who and who can do what.
Donna in the Chatter and says she watched Clown Fear
three times. She said she loved it. So there you go.
You need to fix honey.

Speaker 6 (01:45:51):
Anyway, I was surprised, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (01:45:54):
I was surprised how far Clown will Tell has came,
because like when I did the conventions I just did,
I was invited as a guest to Nightmarre in Vegas
invention and then last year we did Days of the Dead,
and like Combotel two was never seen by anybody. But
so all these people that are coming to our table
are just from Combotel one. And it's years later and

(01:46:17):
I have them coming up, and you know, they're wanting
an autographed picture for me. They're wanting to take pictures
of me and costume, and they're like, your scenes were iconic.
The movie was great, and in my head, I'm just
like I thought it was semi terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:46:33):
Since I changed gears and made the announcement, I'm not
doing those shitty ones. I've gotten scripts that are out
of this world. My one script that I can't wait
to shoot, and we're shooting soon is Saving Paradise, the
fabulous script, fabulous part more like a Hallmark movie, but
it's really, it's really it's gonna show my ability as

(01:46:54):
an actor. And the other one is oh negative, oh negative.
I a vampire, but not the traditional vampire, A very
normal vampire who has a daughter, and he's teaching his
daughter how to be a vampire. So he takes her
to an enchanted land of enchanted people. It's very very

(01:47:16):
I can't it's very very good scrape. I want to
say something because, like I so, I wait to have
one more than I'm doing right.

Speaker 6 (01:47:22):
Because we've got two minutes. We don't have time with it.
We had so I reached out to someone because somebody
on my team wanted me to reach out to a
person who had one hundred and sixty seven producer credits
UH to come on board to help us with the film,
because we wanted to use someone in his family. And
so I got on the phone and I spoke to him,

(01:47:44):
you know, and I talked to him about becoming a
producer on the film, and he literally told me, I
have no idea how to produce a film. I bought
every one of those credits. I don't know how to
do a single thing, you know, so you know, so
I really couldn't. Come on if you want me to
actually produce it, He's like, I couldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:47:59):
Actually, that's why movies today and that's why.

Speaker 6 (01:48:01):
Movies today are not any good, because these people don't
really have any experience and they don't know how to
do anything else.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
But the Jennifer James my bud, she wrote one of them.
It's a great script. Well because Jennifer's from the olden
days like we did in the fifties and sixties. I
love it.
