The Shawshank Redemption with Bob Gunton (Special Guest Co-Host Alejandro Brugues)
Episode 239, Jul 10, 08:00 AM
Guest co-host Alejandro Brugues (Juan of the Dead, Satanic Hispanics) joins Vespe to chat with the wonderful character actor Bob Gunton, the star of his latest film The Inheritance.
Bob has a very special Stephen King connection: He played the dastardly Warden Norton in The Shawshank Redemption. Bob goes in-depth on his work in Shawshank, including his working relationship with director Frank Darabont, why the movie was a blessing for him, and just how often does he get called "obtuse" by random strangers.
Based on the novella Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption, Frank Darabont's adaptation has become one of the most beloved films ever made, thanks in no small part to the villainous performance of today's guest.
