In this episode of Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi, we venture into the unknown with acclaimed actor David Clennon, whose career has spanned groundbreaking science fiction and deeply human storytelling. From his unforgettable role as Palmer in John Carpenter’s The Thing, to Miles Drentell in Thirtysomething and now Kurt in the mind-bending film, The Sound, Clennon has consistently portrayed characters who confront mystery, menace, and the limits of perception.

We dive into his role in The Sound—a spine-tingling movie about a team of mountaineers who encounter an eerie, invisible force in the high-altitude wilderness. David discusses how The Sound explores psychological tension and the fragility of human understanding when nature—or something else—turns against us.
