Enjoy the wild story of Charles Lee while comedian Joe Carney lends us some "voices".

Strap in....this one is a wild, bumpy and at times overwhelming ride. Orson Welles is a man of every talent. He's been called the boy genius, the problem child, the master of the medium, the bullshit artist, the God of the Damned and a one man American Institution. His story has ZERO uninteresting parts. He feuds with billionaires, gets badmouthed by Nazis, marries Hollywood starlets, gets exiled to Europe, hoaxes half the country and makes nothing BUT Masterpieces....Orson Welles is the ICON. Enjoy.
