“I Was Born Into a Film Family” w/ Young Indy Asst. Director Waldo Roeg, director Nicolas Roeg’s Son

from Young Indy Chroniclers · host Young Indy Chroniclers Podcast

THIS ADVENTURE! Peter and Daniel are joined by Young Indiana Jones and Radioland Murders Assistant Director, Waldo Roeg, for an in-depth conversation about his career and time with Lucasfilm. Waldo Roeg was there during the third season of Young Indy, which took him around the world, from America to Thailand, before ultimately shifting over to work on Radioland Murders. Waldo was quite literally born into cinema — the son of legendary filmmaker Nicolas Roeg (Don’t Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walkabout) and actress Susan Stephen (The Red Beret, Carry On Nurse). In this wide-ranging discussion, he reflects on what it meant to grow up around filmmakers, being on set for Lawrence of Arabia and Superman, and so much more. Young Indiana Jones wasn’t just a TV series — it was a proving ground for filmmakers, a training ground for future innovators, and a rare example of cinematic ambition brought to television. Waldo Roeg’s firsthand stories offer a unique window into how those productions actually worked, and how film culture is passed down not just through movies, but through families.If you’re interested in film history, behind-the-scenes production stories, Lucasfilm in the 1990s, or the human side of growing up inside the industry, this episode is for you.Subscribe to The Young Indy Chroniclers for more deep dives into Young Indiana Jones, George Lucas, Lucasfilm history, and the untold stories behind iconic productions.*Late Pledges Still Available*While our Kickstarter campaign has officially ended, *late pledges are still open* for *George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age*.
