THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS
ACTOR MACKENZIE GRAY SPEAKS AT TWO RIO SHOWINGS

POSTED December 29, 2009 BY Bob Kronbauer

This past Sunday night I went to go see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the Rio Theatre on Broadway at Commercial and before the film started was wondering why the heck there was a mic sitting dead center in front of the screen. My wife whispered to me something about hoping they were going to move it before the flick started when all of a sudden one of the actors from the film got up on the stage and introduced the movie and told us stories about working with director Terry Gilliam. Amazing. Thank you Rio and thank you said actor, Mackenzie Gray, for coming down to talk at the theatre that night.

Above is the photo, keep reading to see the video… I got most of it but missed a couple minutes because it was totally unexpected. Also, it was filmed on my phone and is… uh… low quality at best. Worth a watch/listen though.

Oh, and also, if you’re a fan of Terry Gilliam’s best films (which I believe to be Time Bandits, Twelve Monkeys, Jabberwocky and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) then you are going to be extra stoked on this most excellent film. Terry’s back! Check the Rio site for showtimes.

    Way to go Bob. Haven’t seen the movie but it’s at the top of a very short list.

    I’m a sucker for any stories about Tom Waits and the recounting by MG was a treat. Good impersonation of Waits too.

    Cool, thanks Wayne. I probably should have just grabbed the audio from that video clip, it’s such bad quality… at least the story comes across though.
