![]() ![]() Diana Venora in a sitcom! Probably the worst casting idea anybody ever had. Thunder Alley ! With Diane Venora and Ed Asner. I think I was 12 years old at my parents’ house watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I just sort of thought, “Those guys look like they’re having fun, so that’s what I want to do!” But I did a lot of plays in high school and then college, so I went after it that way. So how did you find your way into acting in the first place? Yeah, exactly: Sweaty Man! I played this guy who was on a date with Heather Graham, and I kept sweating, and they were, like, putting Vaseline on me and spraying water on me and whatnot, and I’m wiping my face and trying to kiss Heather Graham. I actually made note of Desert Wind when I was looking over your filmography, just because of your character’s name: Sweaty Man. But, yeah, it basically was my first real on-camera role. But Killin’ Time was about two soldiers, one of whom gets on a land mine, and it won’t go off ‘til he steps off of it. ![]() The guy’s name was Michael Nickels-not Mike Nichols -but then he went on to do a movie called Desert Winds with Heather Graham that I was in, and some other things. I’d done this guy’s first short film, and then he wrote this thing for he and I to do. But Killin’ Time was an NYU student film that I did when I was living in New York.
