Here's a clip from part one of an interview with Lou Schiemer.


"This outfit from New York called to see if we would be interested in
doing a project for them," says Scheimer. "It was National
Periodicals and they wanted to do an animated series on Superman. At
that time, Hal and I didn't have anyone working for us. We even put a
dummy at the receptionist's desk! But they wanted to see us first. I
had to make it look like we were a working studio. So I called everyone
I knew, a lot of them actors like Jack Cassidy, to come in the same day
as these New York guys and act like they were animators."

Here's the link to the first part...

Have fun,
Tom

ME: I think Lou made a funny error there. From all other accounts, it
wasn't Jack Cassidy. It was Ted Knight.


That's understandable. Lou's memory may not be what it was. If you
squint really hard with one ear, you *can* imagine them sounding alike,
though. ;-)

Have fun,
Tom
