Community Players Episode 11:
Meet the Cast of One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest
Erik Hurt and Brent Bredhold
It’s the Battle of the Billys this time out with a former and a
current Billy Bibbit. Brent Bredhold (the former) and Erik Hurt
(the current) chat about the stuttering character from Dale
Wasserman’s adaptation of the Ken Kesey novel. The conversation
derails rather quickly into a big nerd-fest about literature,
comic books, horror movies, and video games – but we do get
around to talking about the show at some point. We see how pop
culture has a huge influence on both actors and director with
discussions about Dracula, Stephen King, Tim Robbins, and the
great American pastime - baseball. And we settle the argument
about who’s better – Scarecrow or Lion? Plus a special poetry
reading by George Bailey! Mentioned in this podcast are Toni
Schaperjohn, Olivia Schaperjohn, Ellie Walker, Tyler Kinnaird,
Christina Hauger, and Laurie Austin.
