Clancy Brown (Shawshank, SpongeBob) joins me this week to share his personal experience with impostor syndrome throughout his career from its inception to highlights like The Shawshank Redemption.
Clancy talks about how the industry had changed over the decades and how he feels blessed to have found voice acting for the presence it allows him to keep.
We also get into some good ole Lex talk, how fame can drastically change a set, and even his personal experience working with the late great Sean Connery.
WORLD FAMOUS VOICE ACTOR CLANCY BROWN (2020) Inside of You Podcast w/ Michael Rosenbaum #insideofyou

[@tiranis666]

Clancy has often played big, tough, intimidating characters, but the guy just comes across as a complete teddy bear, what a lovely guy. Always loved his work, and enjoy watching him on screen.

[@allybally0021]

If you look that evil you can probably afford to have such a nice nature.

[@steveyoung5811]

I've been a fan of Clancy ever since I saw him play the huge villain "The Kurgen" in the original Highlander.

[@Lazrael32]

He is a great part of anything he is a part of. Pet cemetary 2 is only watchable because of him. Superman wouldn't work without his lex. And SO many others....

[@vanmoody]

I freaked out when I figured that Mr. Krabs was Kurgen.

[@vanmoody]

@@Lazrael32 Starship Troopers comes to mind. He was the drill Sgt.

[@Lazrael32]

@@vanmoody yeah. Litterally anything i find him in, he is one of the best parts. Shawshank wouldn't be as good without him. In my opinion.

[@joshshin6819]

Same for me. Ever since i watched Highlander 1 i try to keep up with him

The best animated Lex Luthor meets the best live action Lex Luthor Couldn't be more excited

[@RabbiJoeInJerusalem]

On TV. Hackman is still the best cinematic Lex.

[@Jethro_Flynn]

@@user-si4nk3lr5k lol this gave me a good chuckle.

[@mauriciotorres3090]

@WhySoSnappy you got that right. Clancy Brown is the best animated Lex Luthor from Superman: The Animated Series on Kids WB with Tim Daly & Dana Delany and Michael Rosenbaum is the best live action of Lex Luthor from Smallville on WB/CW with Tom Welling, Aaron Ashmore, Laura Vandervoort, Erica Durance, & Kristin Kreuk. He should reprise his role with Tim Daly, Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Dana Delany, Susan Eisenberg, and other voice actors that I love in DC video games & animated movies. Michael Rosenbaum is also a voice actor because he's the voice of 2 alter egos of The Flash, Wally West from Justice League/Unlimited on Cartoon Network and Barry Allen from the animated movie Justice League: Doom.

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

They both had the material, time and opportunity to make characterizations that stand out and transcend a singular artistic medium.

[@grrayfox2300]

Don't get the fascination with Bryan Cranston as Lex just because of Walter White. I think he'd be a much better Commissioner Gordon

[@ModernNeandertal]

Such a fun interview. I've been a Clancy Brown fan since his over the top, but perfect, Highlander role. I don't think anyone else could have portrayed that maniac like Clancy Brown, he nailed it.

[@adubs3851]

Clancy Brown's such a icon. Whatever project he's in is better for it.

[@BoyDharma]

Exactly what I thought as well. I love great character actors and their are so many great ones.

[@VictorLugosi]

Carnivale was such an underrated show and it’s not talked about enough.

[@thorne1239]

I still think about that show regularly.

[@greeneyesbell1]

I Agree!

[@stevengarcia1193]

[@geraldking4080]

Clancy just raged in Carnivale.

[@kylearmstrong21]

[@gdparry2727]

Loved him as Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai

[@edaniels240]

Clancy's role of Viking in 1983's Bad Boys was another iconic character

[@patrickfairchild2330]

CLANCY - been a fan since HIGHLANDER - LOVED his head held on with safety pins - bad ass.

[@jedironin380]

"I am in disguise." "Forgive me Father, I... am a wwoorrrmmmm!" I about jumped out of my seat when he appeared as the Sheriff in "Sleepy Hollow." Then lost his head, again, dang it! Made me wonder if Clancy's characters often lost their head?

[@LeisureSuitL]

17 years...that's how long I've been waiting for Carnavale Season 3.

[@exeroujin]

Just like Mark Hamill is my Joker, Clancy Brown is my Lex Luthor (and Michael Rosenbaum is my Flash). Plus that Morgan Freeman impersonation is pretty spot on!!

[@nicolasurich582]

to many of Superman fans michael Rosenbaum is the greatest Luthor ever!

[@sisyr5615]

He was great in Detroit: Become Human. Didn't realize until I looked him up after that he's the guy who played Zim in Starship Troopers as well, lol.

[@Jethro_Flynn]

His voice acting credits are massive. Dude did a few of characters on Adventure Time even.

[@MarisaP1978]

He was AWESOME as Zim!!!

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

He is one of those actors that you really never know he's there or not. I bet I have seen him in a role and didn't even realize it was him. He is a very "Chameleon-like" actor/performer.

[@BrandinZinck]

Reading your comment reminded me that he was also in Pet Semetary 2 as Sheriff Gus Gilbert.

[@Christopher-li6gg]

Clancy Brown is awesome!! You have the greatest line up of guests, better than any talk show I've ever seen!!!

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

I have to agree with Christopher James. You seem to be selecting many of my favorite actors to interview.

[@chestermarcol3831]

This is a phenomenal interview, on both sides. Clancy Brown is such a down to earth, genuine person. Very few people in that profession, it would seem, are that grounded. So refreshing.

[@donna25871]

Loved Clancy in Earth 2 - great sci-fi show ahead of its time.

[@chettterbob]

didn't think anyone remembered that show! years later after show ended, the young actress on that show had alot of health problems, Clancy had remained in contact with her and her family and went out and raised money on her behalf to help with medical costs and bought her Christmas presents, sadly she died at 22. sad ending but just another reminder of what a class act he is :)

[@rufust.firefly6352]

Ya, that was an interesting show. I enjoyed it.

[@johncaputo5753]

Yes EARTH 2 great show. I forgot about him in Carnivale another great show that was canceled way too early.

[@jedironin380]

Shoot- yeah I forgot about Earth 2!

[@bemasaberwyn55]

I thought that show was a fever dream......

[@elijahablaze]

I have loved/admired Clancy Brown since the movie, " The Bride " with Jennifer Beals. Clancy, like Michael Rosenbaum, is the type of amazing actor who stuns you with every acting performance. Clancy's performances rivet you and compel you to keep watching. Dude is soooooo freaking gifted. His performance on the Showtime show, "Billions " was amazing

[@sfkeepay]

Lex meets Lex, and much more. Fan of Clancy since Highlander, it’s great to see him as himself.

[@eunhyuekpark6159]

Been watching Clancy since the 80s and love this guy. Played the best bad guys in Shawshank Redemption and Highlander, and everyones dad in Earth 2. This guy has done it all. Awesome you had him on Rosey!

[@wheremypd]

His performance in “Shoot to Kill” is electric and timeless!

[@horrorfan24]

OMG, Clancy, what a genuinely lovely, warm guy. Wow, he is honestly one of the world greatest actors because in all his 'bad guy' roles, he comes across as so evil and intense I never would have believed he was like THIS in real life. Wow. Even when he plays kinda nice guys, there was still an intensity there that I never got a sense of real warmth and kindness about him. Huh, go figure. What a sweet man. Great interview.

[@amparejo1]

Clancy Brown, such a talented actor so underrated, I've been following his career since HIGHLANDER . What a voice 🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇💙

[@WickedZen]

Loved him in so many things. Highlander and Starship Troopers have to be the top two. "Medic!!"

[@geneawisea2708]

I never liked Clancy Brown until Carnivale and he knocked it out of the park and it totally changed my perspective of him and his talent and everything he did before it and everything after. What a great actor.

[@RJHart1214]

Great interview by Michael. Clancy Brown is one of those actors who is the lifeblood of cinema/television and of whom there are too few now (except on stage, I hope): the character actor with the distinct look and versatility. He isn't a pretty boy, he isn't someone parachuted in from music, and he isn't a botoxed over-tattooed gomer. He's an *actor*. It's great to see him still prominent in recent years, The Goldbergs *and* John Wick Chapter Four? He's got chops. Altho' The Bride isn't a good movie, Clancy is good in it; his friendship with the late David Rappaport was touching. Mr Brown is much more than a rent-a-villain.

[@RobertoRuizHBK]

I love Clancy, he is great. Congrats from Brazil.

[@marchar]

I will always remember him as Brother Justin in Carnivale.

[@TheProphetJoshua]

Worked with Clancy on Homefront, he's as chill to talk to as this podcast indicates.

[@Jonofthekings]

I loved the episode of justice league unlimited where the flash and lex switched bodies. That must have been a blast to create that one 😂

[@eamonndeane587]

"I have NO Idea Who THIS IS...." Clancy Brown was such a Perfect Casting choice as Lex Luthor. I also thought he was Hilarious as Sergeant Zim in Starship Troopers ("MEDIC!!!!!").

[@Michael_A_MN]

Viking Lofgren having that Boom Box blow up against his noggin was a great scene. Clancy is great.

[@annie10103]

40:56 I'm glad this is becoming a bigger conversation at the moment. Professional voice actors really are being shafted by companies who would rather have big name screen actors, despite them not being as good. It was kind of Clancy to try and put it in a nice way haha

[@manofbeard]

One of the best if certainly underrated actors of his time. He always has a presence either on screen or wether just voicing a role. The Kurgan is one of my all time favourite film characters. I just couldn’t see anyone else filling that role.

[@Brook11223]

Clancy Brown's Lex Luthor was based of Telly Savalas especially with the design of the character. Kojak was the reference model for Lex Luthor for Supeman: TAS, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. His voice just speaks volume. Even now I will say "The Great Brain Robbery" was my favorite episode in JLU because it's the role reversal with Rosenbaum and Brown imitating each other which was awesome. Brown as Rosenbaum and Rosenbaum as Brown playing Lex at the same time playing Lex in Smallville was spectacular. I even enjoyed his performance as Wade Eiling and one of the funniest moment was when David Sobolov's Gorilla Grodd took over Eiling's mind which reminded me of "The Great Brain Robbery" episode with Lex trying to access Grodd's mind to find out more information about the Braniac stone that he found only leading to disastrous results. In a way The Flash show Grodd kind of got his revenge on Lex Luthor lol. His Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok, The Guardian he voiced in Green Lantern film were memorable. Of course The Kurgan character is all time classic and just brought the chills in Highlander.

[@Mabus16]

Specifically Telly Savalas' performance as Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the template for the DCAU Lex Luthor.

[@Brook11223]

@@Mabus16 Ah I see.

I have been following Clancy since he moved from Chicago when he was a bartender at Fiddlers Green. I think the bar at Devon and Western was called that. He lived with my manager Rich and it was his early 20's when he left. I remember seeing him in Bad Seed and Highlander and then followed his career through IMBD when that became a thing. I think my favorite role was Earth 2. I was so angry when that was canceled. Enjoyed this interview.

[@ddatch54]

First time I saw Clancy Brown was in the mid-80s in Bad Boys with Sean Penn, one of my favorite movies. Over the years I'd see him here and there, Shawshank, Starship Troopers, The Guardian, etc. and I'd think "HEY, THAT'S THE GUY FROM BAD BOYS!" Always a nice surprise to see him pop up. If you have the opportunity, find Bad Boys and watch Clancy in his first movie. What a talent!

[@MattLovesVinyl]

What an amazing episode! When you asked Clancy about being married for almost 30 years and not doing the Hollywood thing about divorcing and bouncing around to new women all the time and he came back, quick as a flash, with, "I'm just lazy," I literally had the best laugh I've had in months. It was all the laughs... the punch of the big HAHAHAH all the way down to little giggles thinking about it again. Thanks for that, Michael and Clancy!

[@Brook11223]

I watched the behind the scenes featurette from the Superman: TAS dvd and I had no idea that Clancy Brown auditioned for Clark Kent/Superman. Funny enough Sherman Howard who played the Preserver auditioned originally for Lex Luthor but lost out to Clancy Brown. Sherman Howard I remember him from Superboy and he was the second Lex Luthor for that show. Howard of course went on to voice Derek Powers in Batman Beyond. The DCAU family is a tight knit family.

I wish Michael and Clancy had a Lex-off; quoting some of their best lines as Lex Luthor.

[@golfhound]

I've been a fan ever since he played Kurgen in Highlander. He was such a scary, evil, villain. I still remember so many great lines that he had. The scene with him and MacLeod in the church was classic and great acting. "Ramirez was an efeete snob. I took off his head and raped his woman before his blood turned cold." What a great line. And Clancy was so good in that entire church scene. How did Darth Vader ever get voted as one of the great villains in cinema and hardly anyone credits Clancy Brown for being way more evil and convincing in Highlander? Everyone remembers him in Shawhank. But for the benefit of those who haven't seen the original Highlander should check it out. It's a real treat.
