Reg Wilkins is a veteran actor of the stage, commercials and film, who has been in the bay area for many years, and is a long time collaborator with Lower Bottom Playaz. I had the pleasure of stage managing him when played Old Joe in Radio Golf this summer. Norman and I have Reg as our next guest and Reg shares his upbringing, how he got into acting and where he sees himself in the future.
