Jeffrey’s most prominent role for many fans of sci-fi was that of Professor Kevin Burkhoff on “The 4400.” The stage-trained actor shares his take on the whole fan popularity of the Re-animator film and its spin-offs and gives a brief inside look of how these kinds of movies, including the classic “Frankenstein,” have become such a visceral part of horror movie history.

Great to hear an interview with Jeffrey Combs.
For those of us under 30, how about some trivia from recent movies 🙂 ? Just kidding, but seriously.

Even though I’d seen Re-Animator years ago, I must say, seeing it on the big screen for the first time, after the humorous warm up given by Jeffrey Combs himself, was a real treat.
During the Q&A session afterwards, he spoke of his Trek days, and of working with Peter Jackson on The Frighteners, and more. His impressions of Shatner had everyone in stitches 🙂 He was very appreciative of the Hall of Fame induction, and the line of fans waiting for him to sign things filled the entire second lobby of the theaters… it was a sight to see.
And as a followup to a conversation we had after we finished recording this interview, I presented him with a copy of the B5 novel “Voices”, which featured his character, Harriman Gray. I’m just glad I could do something constructive with one of the extra copies we collected as part of the Babylon Podcast Book Rescue Drive!
