MR.TV PODCAST

If you were glued to your TV set during the 1990's, you might remember this commercial where a guy talks about his problems with acne. He mentions how people think he has it because he eats too many chocolate bars or that doesn't wash his face. What you might not know is that the guy in the commercial was a real person who wanted to share his story about his skin condition in an authentic way. Tim Hamilton, the director behind the commercial, remembers meeting the young man and tells us about how he used a film technique and a documentary style to make him comfortable on camera.

We're talking with Big Wolf on Campus co-creator Peter A. Knight about how he and Christopher Briggs created this memorable late 90's TV series, but also about the many pitfalls laying in wait for them as young show producers.

Senta Moses Mikan joins the MR.TV podcast to talk about her role as Phoebe on Beakman's World. She was the show's third and final co-host, and had some incredible experiences including a close encounter with a lion.

Paul Zaloom who played Beakman on Beakman's World joins the MR.TV Podcast to talk about how he got the role on the show, his international fame, and why making the show again would be tough.

"It was a character that demanded all of me not just a part of me," says Scott Cohen about his character Wolf from the 10th Kingdom. Wolf is a barely contained explosion of a character. He has complex motivations, he's at times hilarious and at other threatening, but he's the real heart and soul of the 10th Kingdom. Scott joins the podcast to talk about how he got the role, the toll 9 months of travel took on him, and his hope that one day there'll be a sequel.
