Actor and Baltimore native Michael Strassner (Loyola Blakefield) was a guest on Glenn Clark Radio Wednesday.
Among the topics he discussed were:
-How he went from being the vibes guy on the Loyola Blakefield club lacrosse team to becoming a Hollywood actor and comic
-Making Baltimore (and Hampden in particular) truly a character in his new film “The Baltimorons”…and even sneaking in some purple camo pants
-What it means to him to make a truly appreciated piece of art showcasing his hometown and the unique Baltimore experiences he’s had, including a premiere at The Senator and throwing the first pitch at an Orioles game
-Was he at all worried the movie might be TOO Baltimore?
-Telling the painful true story of his own suicide attempt in the throws of addiction and realizing he “almost missed all of this”
