Journey alongside Saul Rubinek, a remarkable actor whose career spans iconic films such as "Unforgiven" and underrated gems like "Dick." Explore his dynamic talents in hit series like "Warehouse 13" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," as well as his involvement in the captivating single-shot Shoah feature, "Shttl." Saul's enduring passion for acting shines through in every role, making him a true legend in both film and television. Recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike. My guest, Saul Rubinek, and I discuss:
  • Saul Rubinek's play, "All in the Telling," delves deeper into his family story, building on the groundwork laid by the play and documentary, "So Many Miracles," which he was encouraged to pursue by a friend. Born in a refugee camp during the Holocaust, Saul's parents were saved by Polish farmers before settling in Montreal, Canada.
  • Saul discusses his role as a Nazi hunter in the Amazon series "Hunters," his involvement in Project Paperclip, and his experience working with Al Pacino.
  • "True Romance," now a cult classic, initially flopped upon release.
  • In "Dick," a forgotten Richard Nixon/Watergate comedy, Saul played the role of Henry Kissinger, a classic yet overlooked comedy gem.
  • "Shttl," a single-shot Shoah feature shot in Ukraine prior to the war, offers a glimpse into life in Jewish Ghettos, which have since been destroyed.
  • Saul shares anecdotes and unique experiences from working with Clint Eastwood on the set of "Unforgiven" plus some great stories about screenwriter David Peoples.
  • Discussing "Warehouse 13," Saul highlights what makes it a great show and expresses his hopes for a revival.
  • Saul's friendship with Brent Spiner and the tragic story behind how he landed his iconic role on an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" are revealed.
  • Saul provides valuable insights into the life of an actor and much more during our conversation.
