About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with the incredible William Sadler, whose career has spanned some of cinema’s most iconic moments — from action blockbusters to cult horror classics. We dive into his unforgettable role as the ruthless Colonel Stuart in Die Hard 2, and how he flipped the script playing Death in the Bill & Ted universe — with all the hilarious, behind-the-scenes stories that came with it. Horror fans won’t want to miss our chat about his beloved roles in Demon Knight, Bordello of Blood, The Hills Run Red, Machete Kills, The Grudge, and Salem’s Lot — films that have cemented his place as a genre favourite. We also reflect on his time in two of cinema’s most celebrated dramas, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, and what those projects taught him about the power of storytelling. William opens up about his pursuit of acting, the ups and downs of life in the business, and the advice he’d give his younger self today. Plus, we explore his passion for music, including his project The Kitchen Tapes, with proceeds supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital — an amazing cause close to his heart.
