John Schuck has covered decades as an actor in classic films and television as well as the Broadway stage.

John has played a Klingon, a robot, Herman Munster, a cop and countless other roles.

We talk about his time in theater, stage and film with a ride through starring in a show with Charlton Heston, a final visit with Rock Hudson a week before he died, Robert Altman and more.

John is fun and with the King of TV, Paul Goebel in the mix too the classic TV and Star Trek discussions take on even greater detail.

Great conversation which includes Paul provoking a debate about how to say the word “robot”.
