I can't even tell you how much I wanted to play Random Roles with him. (In fact, I've already gotten shit from a buddy of mine for not finding an opportunity to ask him about Rancho Deluxe.) But in the long run, just getting to hear that trustworthy voice made it a more than worthwhile experience for me. That, and the…

Insofar as voices go, Barry Corbin and Alex Rocco have been the greatest Random Roles for me to just sit back and bask their awesomeness.

I've read enough backstage-history books about live variety shows that I know it could've been a hell of a lot more interesting.
