    Dwayne was a very fun guest. His biography of Lee Marvin was widely acclaimed, and deservedly so. We yakked about Lee's troubled life, his alcoholism, and his career. Lee was such an interesting guy. Join me to learn all about him. Dwayne also gives me some great tidbits on his interviewees. LOVED his story's about James Doohan AKA " Beam Me Up' Scotty from Star Trek. They had a lot of drinkiepoos and James told him his feeling about William Shatner.
