Actor Scott Lawrence joins host Patrick to catch up on a career that somehow spans the Star Wars universe, Avatar, multiple Star Trek films, X-Men, Quantum Leap, and a decade playing Commander Sturgis Turner on JAG — and he's got stories for all of it.

We're talking about the moment a freshman acting class changed everything, what it was like sitting next to James Earl Jones at a defendant's table for a week, why Whoopi Goldberg's sitcom had Jean Stapleton and still didn't work, and the $63,000 residual check that came in from a little movie called Avatar (though Scott thought it was going to be more).

Plus: the most Hollywood moment of Scott's life involves Suzanne Pleshette shouting across a Beverly Hills restaurant. You'll want to hear it.

If you've ever wondered who's been voicing Darth Vader in video games since 1994... you're about to find out. And yes, he does the voice at the end. Your answering machine will never be the same.
