Classic Conversations: Pop culture Interviews with Jeff Dwoskin

Sam Kwasman - From Dancing to Duck Voices (Little Quacker)


Listen Later

Veteran actor, comedian, and voice artist Sam Kwasman shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from his decades-long career in Hollywood. From dancing with Patrick Swayze to voicing Little Quacker on Tom and Jerry, Sam's journey is filled with unexpected twists, famous co-stars, and a whole lot of laughter.

NOTE to Listener: This interview was lost and found and is now released. I recorded it a while ago. Some discussions occurred about Ed Asner and Bob Newhart before they passed away (which is why that isn't mentioned).

Episode Highlights:
  • Landing the role of Little Quacker and why it took beating out 3,000 other voice actors
  • Dancing with Patrick Swayze in Disney on Parade and how they both got their start
  • Stand-up comedy days at The Comedy Store and working alongside Robin Williams
  • Acting on classic TV shows like The Bob Newhart Show, Lou Grant, and Family Ties
  • Robot Chicken madness—playing Donald Duck, Road Runner, and even an exorcist priest
  • Starring in Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee as the ultimate product placement guy
  • Learning from the greats—memorable encounters with Lucille Ball, Mel Blanc, and Ed Asner
  • Writing for Tom and Jerry and crafting new animated stories
