Peter Coyote??? Awesome.
He's a terrific actor, Kalshane, and a very interesting man as well.
Also, if I remember correctly, wasn't he a member of the Living Theater (or whatever it was called) that John Malkovitch and Gary Sinese acted for, and for which Sam Shephard wrote?
Sean, he was in the Magic Theater and did a lot of Sam Shepard premieres there, as Shepard was playwright-in-residence. He was also a member of the Diggers, a famous counter-cultural collective.
Malkovitch and Sinise are members of Steppenwolf, a Chicago theater, but they have also done a lot of Shepard, so that's why you might think they were connected with Coyote.
Peter Coyote?! Rock! That'll be great stuff. He's a local boy (to SF).
Thanks, Robin! I knew you'd be able to pull all that stuff up that somehow my swiss cheese memory wasn't going to remember.
Peter Coyote! Wicked cool. Good-looking man, good actor, and by all accounts a really decent human being.
Excellent.
Kalshane, I didn't recognize his name, either. Google his image (or look here, [link] ). I think it's likely you'll recognize his face, and go, "That guy? Oh, this is gonna be great!"
Peter Coyote was awesome in "A Walk to Remember." And so is that movie. Even though Nicholas Sparks is not the awesomest writer guy.
So I'm super duper happy with that casting.
Peter Coyote
It's the best chrismukkah ever.
Never would have guessed it, but then I'm apparently an unwashed heathen who's never heard of him.
However, I can almost gurantee that you've HEARD him because he has a distinctive voice and does a LOT of voice work for commercials.
Major congrats, Tim. This sounds like it could be a good'un! Just please, please, PLEASE let it air in a good (and non-conflicting with the other 3 show I watch) time slot.
I was thinking the same thing about politics, Robin.
