► http://www.SamHarris.com/FF Sam talks with actor, Bill Brochtrup. Bill Brochtrup was raised in Tacoma, Washington, attending New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and NYU. he has proven his acting talent in a variety of roles on TV, film and on the stage. His first television role was
in the series "Hot Pursuit" (1984) and he went on to appear in such series as "Dharma & Greg" (1997), "Picket Fences" (1992) and "Murder, She Wrote" (1984). Bill's movie credits include Ravenous (1999), in which he starred opposite Robert Carlyle and Guy Pearce.
He was originally cast for just two episodes of "NYPD Blue" (1993) during the show's second season. However, when his splendid portrayal of "P.A.A. John Irvin" won over the show's producers and audience alike, he was invited to reprise the very same role in comedy series "Public Morals" (1996). In
1998, Bill returned to "NYPD Blue" as Irvin, who continues to be a much-loved character. Bill's Filmography: "Without a Trace" .... Edgar "Duck" .... Leopold "NYPD Blue" ....

Okay, don't get a big head you two but you both look good. :) I remember him from NYPD and I have to say I thought he was really good in his role. Nice to see you have such a animated discussion on a topic you have in common. I have never gone to see live theater, but I would like to sometime. Thank you Sam.

Your vlogs are just so FaBuLous! Nice to meet you Bill! Now I'm no singer/actor just a wannabe, but I so related to what you were saying about how it's not so much the "oooomph" of the voice, it's the delivery, the connection, the communication between you and your audience, that profound interaction making for a powerful experience, the euphoria of it all that keeps us coming back.. it's like magic YES!

Sam, The great ... ( 5 months ago by slavezzo)

Sam, The great singers that tell a story.Remember me suggesting you listen to Frankie Laine? Something of a storyteller. I'll try and send you a link to give a listen. By the way, did you remove the glass and/or refinish those cabinets in the background? I mean I could say "Nana's Kitchen". But I won't. -Well big ol'smile. Steve

There ya' go. What ... ( 5 months ago by firefare)

There ya' go. What wonderful friends you share with us. Thank you for your curiosity and fervor for life. :)

Those cabinets are ... ( 5 months ago by SamHarrisCOM)

Those cabinets are hard to see on here. They are hand carved built into the wall in 1926, the year the house was built. And they're not in the kitchen. There is a door that has the same carvings and an original stained glass family crest from the owners. I guess in the 20's they were real "crafty."

IA Guy Get your tuchis to the theatre!! There is nothing like it. Thanks for your words. Yes, spirited conversation between equally passionate people is always fun. S

mosey I am glad you ... ( 5 months ago by SamHarrisCOM)

mosey I am glad you feel that these vlogs give more insight to people than the "hocking the product" stuff I know I get tired of on TV. I think that's why so many actors hate doing talk shows - cause they don't get to be themselves. There is so no pressure on the vlogs that people can really open up and laugh and be themselves and share ideas, etc. thanks for noticing. S

Glad there are so ... ( 5 months ago by SamHarrisCOM)

Glad there are so many great comments about Bill. He is really an actor's actor. He loves his craft. He is always studying, working, exploring. The difference between one who calls themself an actor and one one who actually does it. He inspires me. Glad he inspires you too. love S

Sam, I have enjoyed ... ( 5 months ago by yayayoga)

Sam, I have enjoyed all of your friends. They have their own special story(ies). I do take inspiration from each of them. It teaches me to appreciate each unique person which I think is one of your best qulaities.

Oh, he doesn't even look the same as when on the show! (in a good way - younger too)

Can you get your ... ( 5 months ago by makemarc)

Can you get your people to make inquiries about getting you on that Sundance Channel "Iconoclasts" show, in which two different artists interview each other about their work? The possibilities make my head spin--Oh I know, you and Ariana Huffington! Frank Langella? Liza? Dennis Franz?

I did some ... ( 5 months ago by slavezzo)

I did some restoration on a 1926 home. Those cabinets look very similar to some I worked on-Is it possible they had glass panes at one time? I didn't feel much warmth in your reply- -Steve

They are fabulous!! ... ( 5 months ago by wendyakelly)

They are fabulous!! Are they copper on the inset? So cool!! BTW, I'm Todd's friend who you met at Birdland this past December. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen the two of you do, btw! Keep doing what you do - you are an amazing man, and you bring so much joy to so many people. I wish only the absolute best for you.

Sam, you said it so ... ( 5 months ago by dunskie)

Sam, you said it so well about what makes great simgers great. Sincerity, and a true voice.Not a vocal acrobat. You've got to explain this to all these young cookie cutter pop idol singers who all sound like they are doing an impression of Aretha Franklin.

Hi Sam,
I found your site by chance. Glad I did. Now, I'm hooked. Every Sat. I watch your various weekly postings. It's like being invited out by a good friend to catch up. That's how personable you are. Perry Pearl is hysterical. Is it me, or is he a mix of Auntie Mame/Jerry Lewis? I think I've f
ound a new role model. Just downloaded all of the episodes from THE CLASS. Thanks for guiding me to Amazon's site. Thanks for sharing your world. Nick P Melbourne, AUS
