Hi Odyssey fandom, I'm Jesse Editor of Focus on the Family Club House magazine and

I'm Bob producer of the Adventures in Odyssey Club welcome to the official

Adventures in Odyssey podcast you know Bob we've had a lot of memorable villains on Odyssey. Who can forget Dr. Regis Blacker?

And there's Philip Glossman, Mr. Charles, Hank Murray?

Oh, and what about the bad guys turned good guys like Richard Maxwell and recently

Mori Ridell. But even though he hasn't appeared very often the award for

longest-running villain goes to the chairman. The chairman first arrived in the Novocomp finale exit where he uttered

his famous line it's over for now after that he wasn't heard from or even

mentioned until more than 20 years later when he was

revealed to be behind the events of 28 hours. In both appearances the chairman was

voiced by actor Brian Cummings but the chairman certainly isn't Brian's only role on Odyssey.

That's right, Jesse.

Brian's played characters from Christopher Columbus to the local soccer coach,

to Emperor Nero, to Jesus.

I recently talked to Brian about playing these diverse roles and his most recognizable voice of all.

Which is? I'll give you a hint. If you've watched movies on VHS or DVD, you've probably heard Brian.

I've watched them on both, so I've got to hear this interview.

We've got to hear this interview.

We've got Brian Cummings on the phone calling from Castle Rock, Colorado right up the road

actually Brian thanks for being on the podcast today.

Tis quite a pleasure, very nice to hear from you.

I have to hear from you.
