My guest today Ted Lange was born and raised in Oakland California. While most people would recognize Ted from his 10 seasons starring as Isaac the Bartender on THE LOVE BOAT; before that show he had already appeared in 4 to 5 films, was a regular in a sitcom that ran for 39 episodes and he had already appeared in the Broadway production of the musical HAIR!
TED Lange is a GRADUATE from LONDON’S ROYAL ACADEMY and is also a MEMBER of the AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE!
Ted went on to write and direct a dozen episodes of THE LOVE BOAT
and once that hit show wrapped, he has gone on to act in hundreds of different roles in television, film and the stage.
While Ted has remained active and very visible on film and television over the years, his real passion is writing and directing for the live stage.
He has penned at least a dozen plays for theater and has become a much sought after producer and director as well.
Currently he is producing his passion project he wrote entitled:
"Shakespeare Over My Shoulder;"
where he spent years researching, interviewing and lecturing about his theory that Othello was not written by Shakespeare but by someone else.
So keep your eyes out for his new play and other projects Ted is involved in such as The Love Boat podcast and many charitable endeavors in which Ted participates.
