Charles Grodin, Lee Strasberg, and Andy Rooney

TVC 540.5: From December 2012: Charles Grodin talks to Ed about why Lee Strasberg, by his own admission, was a better teacher than actor; what makes a good talk show host and a good radio commentator; and Grodin’s own approach to acting, which includes listening, responding, and the ability to personalize the journey of whatever character he plays. At the time he appeared on our program, Charles had just released The Perils of Show Business: Proceed at Your Own Risk, an informative and entertaining DVD that is still available from Amazon. All of Grodin’s earnings from the sales of The Perils of Show Business will be donated to The Lend a Hand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that Charles started to help people in need who are not covered by any other organization.
