Interview with Jim Meskimen

This week we are delighted to welcome actor, comedian, and impressionist Jim Meskimen to the podcast.

Jim joins us via zoom from LA where we discuss his career as an artist, animator, actor and impressionist.

Jim has starred in 5 Ron Howard movies including Apollo 13 and Frost/Nixon as well as an acting career that spans the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Marvelous Mrs Mazel, Parks and Recreation and most recently Landman.

Jim regales us with stories including his encounter with Harvey Keitel that changed the trajectory of his career and his chance meeting with Robin Williams. 

We find out that that being "a close observer of tremendous celebrity " on the set of Happy Days  came to shape Jim's understanding of the industry and his role in it.

We hear from Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Gene Hackman and George W Bush and the Scotsman bring his Sean Connery out with Jim as Indian Jones - tune in for some Hollywood  insights and a laugh with the brilliant Jim Meskimen.
