Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordie.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is a pleasure to welcome this next guest here
on the program. He's entertained me for years, going back
to Sports Night and his fantastic multi season role as
FBI Special Agent Mike Casper on one of my favorite
shows of all time, The West Wing.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Come on back. Thanks. Listen, churches are burning down, otherwise
I'd be heading on you. I appreciate that maybe when
it's a better time.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
What a fantastic show. It's a pleasure to welcome to
that actor who then went on to another series of
films we'll talk about momentarily. Clark, Greg is here. Clark,
Welcome to eleven ten kfab. It's good to talk to
you too.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm guessing, and before we talk about I can't wait
to see this news show, The Artist, because it's got
Mandy Patankin in it, Zachary Quinto, Catherine McPhee. It's going
to be a really, really good show, and we want
to talk about that, but let's let's get there by
I'm guessing. The arc for you was a couple of
episodes on Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night and then the FBI
(01:10):
Special agent role in the West Wing for several years,
and that role kind of looked and felt like what
you would go on to be so well known for
Agent Phil Colson of Shield in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Am I on the right track?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That's what I thought. That's what I thought. And I
asked John Favreau that one time, because she was the
one who hired me to be an iron Man one
and it was at first just a small role that
they just kept adding scenes too, and he said, I, No,
I hadn't watched the West Wing by then. I don't know.
I must have something that screamed law enforcement, which the
guys I went to high school with entertaining, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, I don't know if it's the hair, the steely look,
but your role there that started off an iron Man.
When you when you signed up for Iron Man, what
did you think you signed up for? And did you
know it would take the next several years of your life?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
They were just building, they were just trying of starting
to build this Marble Cinematic universe, and they wanted a
three picture deal, which was kind of hilarious because I
had about I think I think I had one scene
when I first signed up maybe two, and yet they
knew how nimble they were going to be and how
(02:26):
much they were going to kind of like pick what
worked and really amplify it. They just kept saying, Hey,
we're going to use you in the next one too,
Is that cool? I was like, cool with me, Yeah,
it's definitely cool with me. And it became a really
one of the most amazing rides I ever went on.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't think I need to issue a spoiler alert
from movies that everyone has seen eighteen times, but I
think when your character died in one of the Avengers movies,
I lose track of what they're all called. I think
that that was as painful for many fans of the
series as when other big characters would die later in Endgame.
(03:09):
Do you know how beloved you and your character, Agent
Colson are in the MCU.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It's become somewhat clear to me at the time. I
realized that to a certain extent, justs Whedon was kind
of betting the payoff of that movie on whether people
would be sad when Colson got killed, and I was like,
you know, he's kind of snarky. I issued people are
going to be relieved a little bit, so when I
went to the first couple of screenings and heard people
(03:38):
kind of crying out or upset about it, I was relieved.
And then you know, I'd had a great run and
I was thrilled by it. I was thrilled by what
they did with the character. And then pretty soon people
started sending me these pictures of people writing Coulson lives
on bridges in Europe and stuff, and I thought, that weird,
(04:00):
that's very flattering. And pretty soon I got a call saying,
we want to bring this maybe this guy wasn't really dead,
we want to bring him back to life for this
TV show.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, and it would go on to be in this
streaming show and that one and so forth. You also
get one of the great punchlines in all the movies.
Oh so that's what it does. Fantastic stuff here. Who
are your favorites in the cast of all the Avengers.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I mean, I feel like I feel like they're in
a way, they're all my weird children. So I can't
really pick one. But I really have a soft spot,
certainly for Robert, because I think the way Robert reacted
to Agent Coulson in character as Tony Stark, in the
way the kind of banter that those two got into,
in the snarky, fast talking stuff. I think that's why
(04:49):
that character started to pop. But I'm just such a
fan of what all those actors did and everyone. We
had a really good time. It was really fun to there,
everyone kind. We felt proud of what we were doing
and part of a cool club.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Who was your least favorite?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I can't say, because I've signed a contract. Thing I
would never say that was. I didn't I didn't have
any I.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Loved everybody, all right, I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, it's hard not to have some resentment. I would
court Loki, but Tom Hilson is one of the nicest
guys ever, so I couldn't even sure that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, you got to shoot him right in the in
the gut, so that was really good. So talk about
your ensemble cast as we're talking here for a few
more mints with Clark, Greg, we go from the ensemble
cast you were part of with all of the Marvel
movies to now a TV series called The Artist, which
is on the Network Network. The Network dot Stream. Then
(05:48):
Network dot Stream will tell you more about this fairly
new streaming platform in just a moment tell me about
the artist in working with Mandy Patankin, with Hank Azaria,
Patty Lapone, a former guests in this program, Katharine McPhee,
Zachary Quinto and Moore.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I got a call from some people admirer Hillary Shore,
this wonderful producer, and this guy I just had just
come to know, Aaron Rappaport, who wrote and directed this thing,
and they were starting their own streamer, which seemed like
such a radical idea and at the same time very
brilliant in that there's not so many corporate hoops and
(06:26):
it's kind of like the equivalent of a sun Dance
film festival, but to make a show, and they wanted
to make a historical piece set in New York at
the early nineteen hundreds when all these wild figures from
Thomas Edison to Edgar Degas and real life figures Stanford White,
who was the architect he designed in Madison Square Garden
(06:47):
where it was then, and so much of New York.
And this guy Harry Thaw that I played, who was
just a bad kid, the bad seed kid from a
very rich Pittsburgh family who was just one man fine
through New York, basically getting out of all the trouble,
and this was a collision course that led to where
people called the Crime of the Century.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, your character shrouded in mystery here. As we see
the trailer, the only glimpse we see of you is
everyone's screaming and you're standing there wearing a tuxedo holding
a gun. So I'm anxious to see where all of
that goes. The Artist premieres on Thanksgiving on the Network
and then part two on Christmas. You've got the holidays
coming up, you know, stranger things. Be damned you guys
(07:30):
are going to own the holidays here with the Artist.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's a stranger thing.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah. Thenetwork Dot stream of course you can stream. It's
available on Apple, Android, Roku, all that stuff, Amazon Fire,
and you can watch it at your leisure. Clark, we
ask all of our favorite guests in the program to
say a line for us that we feel is the
best thing to hear. First thing in the morning. Would
you be so kind as to say, good morning, honey,
I made you pancakes for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Good morning, honey, our major pancakes for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And I would beat thank you, and I would be
remiss it if I didn't tell you that The Road
to Christmas is. We own it on DVD my my
wife's family. It is a holiday favorite every year, the
Lifetime show.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
With You and Jennifer Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It is one of my family's favorite shows. And I'm
not even joking. It means so much. It was my
mother in law's favorite, and we lost her last year,
so that's kind of a portal into who she was,
so we watched that. Yeah, Clark, thank you so much
for the time today. Continued good luck and success to you.
That is Clark Greg here on news Radio eleven ten KFAB,
(08:42):
Agent Colson, Agent Casper, other characters not known as Agent,
including in the new series The Artist on the network
dot stream. Did I fail to mention that Clark and
Jennifer Gray were married and they were in the Road
to Christmas? They set rated amicably a few years ago,
but I didn't want to dwell on that. Scott Voices
