episode 11: Phil Proctor: The Firesign Theatre, Mel Brooks, Pixar and Rugrats
What is Reality? Thats the question the celebrated comedy group The Firesign Theatre asked and we were fortunate enough to hang out in co-founder Phil Proctor's reality in this episode, totally engulfed in his hilarious and dangerous tales. From his start as a child actor in New York television and Broadway to acting with the likes of Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles to more recently voice acting for Pixar movies and the long-running animated series, "Rugrats", Phil had lots to tell. Did we mention his 3 grammy nominations? The Firesign Theatre's album, "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Pass The Pliers" being inducted into the Library of Congress? Or his surviving the first gangland massacre in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 70s? It sounds almost beyond reality, right? But no friends, it's all here in this wild 90 minutes so augment your reality and jump right in. It's your Lucky Day!
