Episode 096 - Bill Crudup: Running, Rock & Roll and No Regrets

In Episode 096, we are honoured to enjoy the company of Bill Crudup. Billy has been a long-time member of Drive495 in New York City and has shared more than a few intense and gruelling workouts under the close scrutiny of Don. We begin by speaking to Billy about his role as world class runner and legend, Steve Prefontaine, in the 1998 film, Without Limits. He outlines the training and preparation for the film and how they pieced together the numerous races required for depicting Prefontaine’s thrilling competitions. We then transition into Billy’s preparation for Almost Famous, where he played a skilled lead guitarist for an up and coming seventies rock band. Once again, Billy had to learn from some of the best in the world to create the illusion of guitar brilliance, piecing together memorable scenes for the movie. We quickly learn that Billy is a master in the art of taking brief moments in time and portraying himself as a world class performer throughout movies and television episodes. We even get to witness more of his acting and singing brilliance in the first season of The Morning Show, and anxiously await Season 2. And, all the while he still finds the time to fit his workouts into his busy schedule.
