Known for his roles in such films and TV series as Out of Sight, Get Shorty, Saving Private Ryan, Empire Falls, Midnight Run, Buddy Faro, Law and Order, and, of course, Crime Story, Dennis Farina passed last week at the age of sixty-nine. As you may recall, we talked to Farina in October 2011 about not only Crime Story and his other collaborations with Michael Mann, but also The Last Rites of Joe May, the story of an aging short-money hustler that many consider to be among Dennis’ best films ever. We will replay our conversation with Dennis Farina during our second hour.

Our first hour will include a return appearance from actor and author James Rosin. Jim’s latest book is Peyton Place: The Television Series, everything you wanted to know about the long-running TV series from the 1960s that was also television’s very first prime time soap opera. Peyton Place launched the careers of Mia Farrow, Ryan O’Neal, Lee Grant, Barbara Parkins and a host of other film and TV actors. But it was also a very ambitious show, not just in terms of subject matter, but also in terms of content.

Jim Rosin also appears in Casting By, the documentary about pioneering casting director Marion Dougherty, which makes its television premiere on HBO on Monday, Aug. 5. Dougherty helped change the face of film and television (particularly in the '60s, '70s and '80s) by looking for actors who were right for the part, regardless of whether they looked look like a typical Hollywood leading man. She discovered such future stars as Peter Falk, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Jon Voight, and Robert Duvall, plus countless other character actors. With that in mind, this week’s program will also include an encore presentation our conversation with television historian Stephen Bowie from March 2011 about some of the many prominent character actors discovered by Dougherty, many of whom made their television debut when she was casting director on Naked City.
