HAIL TO THE KEITH!
Dave's guest this week is actor/writer/director Keith Eric Chappelle (A Raisin in the Sun on Broadway, Madam Secretary, Elementary)!
Keith is a Julliard-trained performer whose career is a testament to hard work and dedication. He tells Dave about growing up on Long Island, how he never considered an acting career until he reached college, the last-minute decision that got him into Julliard, what he learned by watching Kevin Kline work first-hand, and what it was like performing for the President and First Lady on Broadway! Dave and Keith also get into a serious discussion about race, and how history plays into issues of diversity today.
Plus, Dave talks about a recent staged reading, and finds a long-lost video of his brother in an IBM commercial with Scott Grimes from 1984!
