SKSM: How did you become involved in Stephen King’s Gotham Cafe?

Robert Axelrod: I’ve been friends with Julie for a long time. We have worked together in the past. She’s the best. When she told me she was going to make a movie based on a Stephen King story I flipped. Wow. I knew she could do it! Julie asked me to be in the movie. Didn’t know exactly what I was going to do at first, but she kept her word.

SKSM: Did you have to audition for the part or was it written directly for you?

SKSM:Do you still have any contact with the crew/cast from that time? If so with who?

Robert Axelrod: Just with Julie

SKSM: What did you do after Stephen King’s Gotham Cafe?
