Our friend of many years, Daniel Roebuck, about to be eaten by zombies in a Walking Dead<\/em> webisode. He and I both share a love of monsters. He has managed to be on a lot of my favorite shows and movies, including Lost<\/em>, Star Trek Next Generation <\/em>(the episode with Spock!), The Fugitive<\/em>, The Late Shift<\/em> (he did an incredible Leno), and tons of other stuff. What you may not know is that he started out as a young magician just like us. He still does magic from time to time in his horror stage show.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
