  • Summary

  • Actor Michael Nathanson (the late Agent Sam Stein on Netflix’s “Marvel’s The Punisher”) explores the deaths (and lives) of television and film’s most iconic characters in this interview podcast.  “Playing Dead” features actors and creators who share their first-hand experience of what it’s really like to bring life, and subsequently death, to these quintessential roles. This one-of-a kind podcast is a mashup of the celebration of geekdom, and the eulogy the actors never were able to give for their legendary characters. Our favorite characters never really die, they live in the hearts and minds of fans for generations to come.  And as they say in the comic world, you’re never truly dead.

    For our final episode this season, we decided to tear apart the latex, untangle the strings and disconnect the remote controls to explore what it takes to create, and then kill, the intricate creatures in the Star Wars universe. Michael is joined by Paul Blake, who, as Greedo, performed one of the most debated deaths scenes in the Star Wars franchise, and master puppeteers Mike Quinn and Dave Barclay who helped create, then subsequently kill, some of our favorite Star Wars characters including Yoda, Nien Nunb and Jabba the Hutt.   Playing Dead is a Lionsgate Sound podcast, engineered by Pilgrim Media.
