Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Tim Cummings who is currently starring as Arnie in the hit play Grangeville by Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) at the Rustin Group Theatre in Santa Monica, CA. The play is about two estranged half-brothers, one in Idaho, one in Holland, who connect to discuss the care and finances of their ailing mother but end up reckoning with a whole lot more. Tim talks about seeing the play in New York in 2025 and experiencing a rush through his body that told him he had to bring the play to L.A. and star in it. He also talks about his character Arnie and how, though he's justified in all his resentments for how his family treated him as a gay boy growing up, those same resentments might be holding him back as a adult. Tim also talks about appearing in the 9-11 firefighter play The Guys in New York and what it was like when his firefighter father came to see it. Other topics include: the difference between doing theater in NY vs. LA, his love for spiders and octopi, taking a seven year break from acting to study creative writing and publish two books, understudying Stanley Tucci in Frankie and Johnny on Broadway, his goth kid teen years and his belief that, "if something comes across your field, you better go after it."
