It was an absolute honor to have him on and get to speak with him for over an hour about his life, his charity poker games, comic books, his voice over work, his role as Santa on ELF, his activism and how Chicago makes you a rebel, and as always any advice he'd give to his younger self if he could go back in time. I got to speak to him over the phone several times before and after his appearance on Dystopia, and as you'll see here he was honest, sharp, funny, and curmudgeonly playful every step of the way. The interview has been edited down to 25 minutes due to some audio and Wifi problems on his end since he was in the mountains at the time. I'm forever grateful for getting to spend some time talking to one of the greatest Hollywood legends of our time. Enjoy.
