This absolutely gob smacked Peter; Jason casually mentioned he was originally cast as Lt. Sam Weinberg in Rob Reiner’s Oscar nominated film, A Few Good Men. George Costanza alongside Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise? Really, no really! So how did actor, comedian, impressionist, author, director, and podcast host Kevin Pollak nab the memorable Lt. Weinberg role…which ended up boosting his already growing credits? We needed to find out. So, we reached out to Kevin who has appeared in over 80 films; including the cult classic - The Usual Suspects as Todd Hockney and played Phillip Green in Martin Scorsese's Casino. Recently Pollak was a regular cast member on Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He’s also a podcast pioneer hosting such classics as, Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, Talkin Walkin where he spoke only as Christopher Walken and most recently My Mrs. Maisel Pod. IN THIS EPISODE: “If you’re not creating, you’re waiting.” How A Few Good Men transformed his career. The secret to doing spot-on impersonations. The documentary “Misery Loves Comedy” explained. How Christopher Guest discovered he was funny. Did Jack Nicolson really hit on Kevin’s mom? How directing is like being a prize fighter.
