When Swank Met Ian McDiarmid at the Stage Door
/
As heard on RFR: June 20, 2025 - STAR WARS STARFIGHTER news and rumors, our own Jason Swank once stalked Emperor Palpatine actor Ian McDiarmid in NYC following a performance as "Teddy" at The Booth Theater in Brian Friel's "Faith Healer". Typically, actors will meet-and-greet with the audience at the stage door following a performance, like the story about Ewan McGregor's encounter with "Loogerhawk" on this week's show. But the kicker is, Jason didn't even have a ticket for the show! However, he knew a chance to rub elbows with a true Sith lord was too good to pass up and his journey to the Dark Side was complete!
