Current Talk '06 I / Re: James Hall & John Karlen
« on: November 18, 2006, 02:00:49 PM »In an interview about his role as Willie, Karlen described the experience as "a FEAST of emotions"
The look in his eyes and the tones of his voice as he reminisced were like those of someone recalling some the best times of his life...
I spoke with the Old Man last month. I wanted to tell him how brilliant I thought his ressurection of Willie is on the new CD's - the radie plays. I mean I was really floored that he was able to play Willie so perfectly after all these years. I asked him if he'd been watching some of his episodes to help him remember how he played the character and he said that he hadn't. I persisted and told him that I was amazed that he played Willie so well. He exclaimed, "My darling, I AM Willie!"
