This week Alec sits down with actor Stacy Keach. Some fans know Keach for his portrayal of Hamlet and Falstaff; others recall him as Sergeant Stedanko in Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke.
Stacy Keach has been acting for more than half a century and as he explains to Alec, his philosophy on the craft has evolved: “I think in my early days I started pretty much from the outside and tried to get a fix on what the character looked like and … I think it’s better to start inside and work out if you can.”

My son suggested I listen to Here's the Thing because he knows I am a huge fan of Elaine Strich. I have since downloaded most of the archive and have enjoyed each interview/discussion. Mr. Baldwin is a wonderful and very well prepared host and you can tell that his guests enjoy opening up to him by the way that each one tells their stories. Thank you for such a wonderful program. I can't wait to hear the next story!
My company has me stationed in Brazil... I loved downloading episodes of the show and listening to them in my car. Are you going to make the mp3´s available again?
Thanks.
I am addicted to Here's the Thing. I love every single one of them and have listened to them all countless times. Alec is so incredibly articulate but also ridiculously bright. What a gem. I just wish there were more. I'm in Eastern Europe shooting and this show keeps me company in the evenings.
