Before Futurama, before Samurai Jack and even before MadTV, the great Phil Lamarr acted in one of the definitively 90s Sega-CD games 'Power Factory starring C+C Music Factory.' The object of the game was to re-edit C+C Music Factory music videos in order to get access into nightclubs.
He did a Q&A last month at Twin Cities Con and, being a Sega-CD devotee, I brought my copy to get signed and ask him about it. Thankfully, someone took video of it that they gave me and it's great to hear him describe what shooting those FMVs was like in '91 - and how they were essentially the proto-TikTok.
If you've never seen what the game looks like:

That's awesome. I'd give anything to spend even five minutes with one of the OG Mad TV cast.
Except Bryan Callen.... I don't want the stink of Schaub on me.

Phil Lamarr seems like such a cool guy. Only heard good things about his interactions with fans.

I'd give anything to spend even five minutes with one of the OG Mad TV cast. Except Bryan Callen.... I don't want the stink of Schaub on me. Thanks! And yeah, there was something really special about how different those early MadTV years were. I absolutely adore Mary Scheer from that era too, was super happy to see her pop up in 'Elvira's Haunted Hills.' Phil Lamarr seems like such a cool guy. Only heard good things about his interactions with fans. I can vouch that absolutely is the case and his Q&A was masterfully done. A lot of times those big room Q&As can be pretty brutal with lots of "more of a comment" and "I just want to say"-types approaching the microphone, but Phil managed to turn even those into springboards for compelling and interesting stories while making each person feel special and like they had a great genuine interaction with him. If you ever get the chance to see him one-on-one or sit in on one of those, I highly recommend it. |
