EP#111 Ted Raimi

Kevin Lane's Spill Your Guts

Ted Raimi is a badass.

We all know it. If you’re a horror fan, chances are you know and love him. For decades now, he has been one of the go to actors in the genre. He’s one of those actors who shows up in a movie and you hear a collective outcry from the audience of something like “awesome!” or “I love that guy!”

Often in supporting roles - and often scene stealing supporting roles! - Ted has become an audience favorite for his roles in films like Spider-Man 1 and 2, the classic Candyman and Wishmaster. His lead role as a serial killer in the pitch-black film Skinner, showed audiences that Ted could carry a movie and he sure as hell did. It's a mesmerizing performance.

And though Ted is always engaging in his onscreen work, it’s also the way he tirelessly champions the horror genre that makes him a great ambassador for fans. Ted wears his horror badge with great pride and knows horror inside and out. He should. Anyone who has seen Skinner knows what I’m talking about.

Ted and host Kevin Lane discuss his formative years in the Detroit genre film scene, moving out to Los Angeles and making the life changing commitment to a career as an actor, his love of old school actors and the exciting and challenging differences to creating a character for a video game which he does in the hit horror game The Quarry. And there’s a story about a police car that’s bonkers and had me equally shocked while also laughing out loud.

You know Ted Raimi. You love Ted Raimi. Who doesn’t?

Ladies and gentlemen, Ted Raimi.

You’re welcome.
