Curtis Armstrong first made his mark in the ‘80s, first thanks to such films as Risky Business, Better Off Dead, and the Revenge of the Nerds franchise, and then transitioning to TV with a supporting role on Moonlighting. Since then, he’s… Well, basically, he’s been in everything ever. I mean, not really, but it seems like it sometimes, so it felt like the most succinct way of summing it up. Anyway, join Curtis as he regales us with tales of Dave Thomas, Debbie Harry, and Desmond Pfieffer before casually dropping the staggering revelation that he unsuccessfully auditioned to play one of the most iconic TV characters of all time. (He's cool with it now, though: even he can't imagine what the series would've been like if he'd gotten it.)
