    Another great episode…and I love when there is real, honest-to-goodness proof that there are ultranice people in show business. Papajohn just seems like a real nice guy. Not everyone in Hollywood is like Jeremy Piven on Entourage! Nice job, and continued success to you both…

    Yo DBD!

    Yeah, this guy is as genuine and friendly as they come. I think he’s going to land a huge part in the near future.

    Great man! This was awesome! Papajohn sounds like a really nice guy. Hopes there’s more people like him in Hollywood… It seems like he is one of those guys that’s bringing humanity it to a business that sounds a little “inhuman” if you know what I mean.. I guess both of you do…

    Yet another great show Tim! Nice job..

    Thanks Daniel! Yes, It’s no mystery that Papajohn constantly gets re-hired by directors. People like the guy. It’s a good reminder that you can’t really lose if you treat everybody around you with respect.

    Hope all is well!

    Tim,
    Once again another great episode. There are always several laugh out loud moments in your shows, and this one was no exception.

    Sometimes I have to try not to laugh out loud on the street when I’m going there with my iPod. I’m not kidding, it’s true! People would think I’m crazy going there lauging by myself. It’s really that great.

    Later!

    Hi Tim,

    How did you get Papajohn to do this interview?

    Hi Beth!

    I know him personally through acting class and his friend Bo Eason (the subject of FOOTBALL TO CURTAIN CALL). A couple years ago I did a solo show. I handed out postcards in class and he is the one guy from class that actually showed up. Just recently I learned more about his unconventional Hollywood journey so I thought he might be an interesting guy to sit down with.

    I hope you enjoyed the interview.

    I went to Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City Florida with Michael when he played baseball for Coach Frazier. He is the nicest guy. Long time no see. I am very proud of him.

    Hi Ginny! Small world!

    He is a great guy. Absolutely! Thanks for listening. I’ll drop him an email and tell him I heard from you.

    Hey Tim:
    I know Mike through an acting class too! I can’t seem to figure out how to hear the podcast. Any pointers?
