The McAuley Tucker Show

by McAuley Tucker

McAuley Tucker interviews the people who actually made the films you've seen. Sometimes the star. More often the name that went by in the credits.

The man who ran George Lucas's effects company and never once met him. The actor who got genuinely stuck in the barrel in The Hobbit. The twelve year old who replaced Seth Green.

McAuley started at 15. Over six years and seventy-plus interviews later, the thing guests say most is that nobody has ever asked them that before.

Actors, directors, animators, producers, voice actors, crew. Follow anywhere. Full video on YouTube @mcauleytucker.
