Tim Robbins On Actor’s Gang and WTF’s Goings On Right Now ~ Culver City

Tim Robbins_headshot

Actor’s Gang, the theater company started many moons ago by actor Tim Robbins, is currently hosting the killer-as-can-be WTF?! Festival at Culver City’s Ivy Substation through the first week of December. While we missed our crush Sarah Silverman shooting off her mouth last night, the next few days alone of WTF?!’s art/social showcase will give ticket holders the chance to witness Metal Gods Tenacious D play a live set with Silverman on Saturday, the Kunstler gals preview and discuss a film on their civil rights lawyer father on Tuesday, and a screening of The Aristocrats lead by joker Paul Provenza on Wednesday.

That’s simply the tip of the spear, though. There is something mind-blowing almost every night of WTF?! over the next few months (Wizard of Oz mixed with Dark Side, Serj Tankian, Gore Vidal, film screenings, Tom Morello with Shooter Jennings), and you can find out wtf else is going on by viewing the full schedule here.

So, we had a chance to shoot Mr. Robbins, a personal hero of our writer here, a couple of questions about what the flying F is new with Actor’s Gang and WTF?! Festival. And though we were dying for some dirt on demon spawns Jack Black and Kyle Gass, who worked in Actor’s Gang’s early days, or at least for a real response to what Tim’s favorite taco in L.A. is, those answers veered toward vague, while we got good insight into how a theater company thrives in L.A. Without further yakking, we are pleased to introduce TACO readers to Mr. Tim Robbins, and Tim to TACO, in a Q&A, below.
