Photo by Lee Wexler.\r\nI was introduced to actor Steve Sherman by my buddy Dave Marantz, and he was great in my play, Home of the Great Pecan as Deputy Diggity.  I liked him so much I asked him to be in a workshop to help me develop a new play I'd been working on called Hole.\r\nThat was in New York City.  As it happens we are both in Tennessee at the moment, he as a student in University of Tennessee's graduate acting program which is connected to the Clarence Brown Theater -- a LORT Theater.  And he's in Spamalot which is opening there tonight!\r\nIt was great to get the perspective of an actor who had been out in the professional world and had gone back to school.\r\nTopics covered in the interview:\r\n\r\nIntro  (0:00)\r\nHello Steve!
