He might not be a household name for everyone, but it’s likely you’ve seen actor Stephen Lang practicing his craft. Over the last four decades, Lang has played Civil War generals, a blind war veteran, a villain in the highest grossing franchise ever (“Avatar”), the man who killed John Dillinger, and baseball legend Babe Ruth.
This week sees the release of “House of David,” an eight-part miniseries where he plays the biblical Prophet Samuel, one of the very few individuals venerated in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I was fortunate enough to speak with Lang to discuss this new role and several other previous roles.
