S1E09 Jim Beaver

You've seen him in numerous TV shows and some movies. But as a character actor, you wouldn't know this name. It's Jim Beaver. He tells tales of a working actor - from his college days at Central State University (now UCO) in Edmond to New York City and finally to Los Angeles.He tells a funny story about his big break in Norman Jewison's 1989 "In Country" with Bruce Willis when the director mentioned his name ahead of Willis'. And Jim tells more about the many TV shows he's worked including "Justified" and the show he considers to be the greatest of them all, "Deadwood."Our paths crossed back in college when we both attended CSU (he in theatre, me in broadcasting) and also as gunfighters at Western theme park Frontier City. Jim sat for this podcast during the filming of a short film after an appearance at a fan convention for the TV show "Supernatural."Post-production by Fred O.
