- The big hook for Blackout is the involvement of Rami Malek, who both stars and produces. How was it to work with him on the project, and what made him the right person to play Simon?
Blackout creator Scott Conroy: He was an absolute pleasure to work with. It’s been so fun over the last few months to see him win all of these awards and win the Oscar and have so much success, because he’s extremely hard-working and earnest about his approach, and doesn’t have any of that primadonna quality. He took this seriously and gave it his all and I think that really shows in the output.
As far as why was he the right person for this…I can’t think of anyone that would be better. His voice is distinctive and memorable, and he uses it as an instrument in the way that a musician might. So for the role of a radio DJ, he’s just perfect.
At the beginning of the pilot, it’s just kind of a typical day. He’s playing music and he’s introducing this Swedish band and everything is kind of hunky dory. He’s very upbeat and everything seems like Pleasantville. And then you can take that to a very different extreme when things get hairy, which you see throughout the podcast.
He has that kind of range that is really necessary for someone to carry a podcast like this, that has so much emotion involved in it. Again, I can’t think of anyone that would have been better for it.
When Vander Plaats invited Trump because of his "bold stance" on Obama's birth certificate
From Real Clear Politics
In a sign that history may soon repeat itself, Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of the influential Christian conservative group, told RCP in an interview that Trump “sure would be” a serious candidate in 2016 if he decides to run.
“I think the best predictor of the future is to look at the past, and he’s been a pretty successful guy, so I wouldn’t count him out,” Vander Plaats said. “We’re really looking forward to having Mr. Trump join us. Because we’re in Iowa, I think we also have a responsibility to make sure that everybody has a fair playing field.”
Vander Plaats pointed to Trump’s protectionist-tinged rhetoric on trade with China and his “bold stance on Obama’s record regarding what the birth certificates say” as reasons why the host of NBC’s “The Apprentice” continues to attract interest from rank-and-file conservatives in the nation’s first voting state.
FLASHBACK!
Birth certificates? Is that how the FAMiLY Leader plans to win in 2014?
When Democrats saw Vander Plaats was going back to the birther argument they were all like:
