Mr. Media Interviews By Bob Andelman

Today's Guest: Philippe Quint, virtuoso violinist, actor, Downtown Express Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of knuckleheads who don’t know a violin from violette… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! Virtuoso violinist Philippe Quint stars in 'Downtown Express,' a new indie film that has parallels to the Russian immigrant's real life. Let me see. The last time I stopped what I was doing to listen a world class violinist was… Okay, it hasn’t happened yet. But after watching Philippe Quint move gracefully between classic violin and pop-jazz in David Grubin’s new indie film Downtown Express, it is definitely more likely to happen in the future. PHILIPPE QUINT audio excerpt: "I have great respect for the craft of acting. So when I was cast in Downtown Express, I took acting lessons with a wonderful teacher, Sondra Lee. She really trained me while the film was in pre-production. It was extremely beneficial."  Order from Amazon.com by clicking the CD cover above
