Back in December I directed your attention to The Tobolowsky Files, a podcast during which a certain Kimball High School and SMU grad offers a serialized account of his life story.

The series returns again next month.

Till then, then, here's a brief video posted by SMU a few days ago in which the actor famously known as Ned Ryerson and Sandy Ryerson talks to Meadows School of the Arts students about his own days on the Hilltop.
