We talked about his early theatre days, what he learned about his craft from Anthony Stewart Head, the finer details of maintaining various pieces of Spike’s iconic wardrobe, and so much more. We’re thrilled to be re-airing this interview (perhaps our favorite cast conversation of all time) which originally aired on March 26, 2019.
