You've seen or heard Alan Oppenheimer in hundreds of TV shows and commercials. He's the kind of actor I love: The guy who works all the time, the one casting directors call in because they know he'll be thoroughly professional and very good…and no producer or director will scold them for a bad casting pick. As a casting agent once told me about her job, "The secret is to have a little list of money-in-the-bank guys who always deliver." For a few decades, Alan's been on all or most of those lists and I can recall seeing him guest-star on three or four different TV shows in the same week, doing both comedy and drama. He's also had a fine career doing voiceovers for commercials and animation. (He played Skeletor, one of the best animated villains ever, on the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series among many other roles.)
Think I'm exaggerating? His Internet Movie Database page has 285 listings on it for acting and I'll bet it isn't close to complete. Alan is Stu Shostak's guest today and I don't know how they're even going to get halfway through all this man has done. Tune in and see how far they get.
Stu's Show can be heard live (almost) every Wednesday at the Stu's Show website and you can listen for free there. Webcasts start at 4 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Eastern and other times in other climes. They run a minimum of two hours and sometimes go to three or beyond. Shortly after a show ends, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a paltry 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three. Be there or be square.
