Vantage Point Interviews x Yahoo Entertainment!

With Robert Axelrod in 2004.

Well, this was unexpected. After more than 20 years, my interview with Lord Zedd voice actor Robert Axelrod finally got picked up by a mainstream news organization! (Though it sort of makes you wonder what's so newsworthy about an interview that old.)

You could imagine my surprise when quotes from the interview ended up in an article on Yahoo Entertainment ... as well as Yahoo Life UK! (Technically, I suppose, the original article was written for Slash Film, and then Yahoo Entertainment picked it up.)

I guess I should note that I originally pitched this interview to a tokusatsu-oriented fanzine editor circa 2003, who immediately rejected the idea. I then took my pitch to John Rocco Roberto, who was editing Kaiju-Fan Online (also cited in the article), who loved the idea and encouraged me to do it. So John got the interview while the aforementioned fanzine editor probably published some article written by a "Monster Boomer" who reminisced about what it was like to watch Destroy All Planets (1968) on a UHF channel back in the '70s.

At any rate, this is all pretty random, but it's a lot of fun seeing some of my old stuff get attention like this so many years after the fact. Hopefully, the next time won't take another 20 years!
