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
