In checking out Mark Evanier's blog (to which there is a link on the left there), I note that he has an entry today regarding Chuck McCann -- the day after I emerged from an Old Time Radio convention at which McCann was one of the stars.

(Among the most memorable moments: McCann doing the Frank Fontaine character John L.C. Silvoney on a Jack Benny show re-creation. Brought the house down -- as McCann put his script aside for perfect ambiance on an extended gag. In fact, Wikipedia says the re-creation was of the first appearance of the character: April 6, 1950.)

McCann was wonderful throughout the weekend, whether in performance or on a panel. And he'll be playing a judge on Boston Legal tomorrow and next week. Fun!

And here's a shot of McCann (left), performing at that Benny re-creaation. Behind him is one of the two wonderful sound-effects guys (long-time pros, first time at this convention) whose names I can't locate at the moment. To the right is the multi-talented Michael Gwynne, whose credits are too long to list here (though you can find some information at imdb.com).
