where the deer and the antelope play book review

And when I auditioned to play Ron, that’s what he was talking about: capitalism versus the government. When they were researching the idea for the show, they met a local official in Los Angeles, a woman who was a libertarian who wanted to bring the government down from within. How much did the show’s creators take from your own life to create him? You’re well known as Ron Swanson, and the character does share a lot of your passions, from woodworking to camping. And getting to write books has been an incredibly lovely surprise. But when I went to college and was trying to figure out the trajectory of my adult life, I learned that what I want to do is take those funny faces I’d been practicing in the classroom, and people will pay me to make them on a stage. My aunt, who was a librarian, gave me “Lord of the Rings,” “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and Madeleine L’Engle and the like, and that was definitely the wellspring of my imagination and my sense of creativity and storytelling. We had to stay up very late on Saturday night to tune into a radio station from Chicago to get early hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash and stuff.

My cousin and I desperately wanted to become breakdancers in the mid-’80s. I had no channel of culture outside of the three TV channels and popular radio. I grew up in a cultural vacuum: small-town Illinois in the ‘70s and ‘80s. But I’m curious, which bug bit you first: acting or writing? A lot of people know you first as an actor.
