Question: Who are the people that Harvey Kalmenson has directed?

Well, Harvey (da harv) has been actively directing, just about non-stop for the past twenty five years.

Who should be included in his list of credits? Do we list more than two thousand? Do we just list celebrities? Do we only count animation, or commercials, or legit theatre, or radio?

Da harv could make the list really short, if the question was: Who were the actors you didn't like working with? The answer and the list would be the same: Zero.

So, with modification to the question, we choose to submit by way of actors da harv found memorable.

Da Harv's Answer:

"Twenty two years ago there was Orson Welles, perhaps the most brilliant professional I've ever had the privilege of directing.

During the same time frame there was Roddy McDowell, a treasured human being, Loren Green, Mike Road; Ezra Stone and John Houseman two of my directing teachers, and the parade that followed: Simon Oakland, Hans Conried, J.D. Cannon, Elizabeth Taylor, Vic Tayback, Bill Erwin, Will Geer, Leon Askin are just a few on the many that I had the pleasure of directing during my eight years with the American National Theatre Academy.

The Bluth years included the likes of: Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Vic Tayback, Charles Nelson Reilly, Meryl Streep, Buddy Hackett, Glen Campbell, Cloris Leachman, James Coburn, Tim Curry, Hayley Mills, Shecky Greene, George Carlin, Harold Gould and if I continue it would necessitate me going back and reviewing each of the films to find the names of the actors I have forgotten.

And then there are the journeymen.........

actors we have cast and or directed through the years. The foundation that our world of animation was built on. While they may not be recognizable to the average theater-goer, or television spectator, without them our industry wouldn't exist. Our list is endless. A comprehensive list of these actors would be tantamount to the start of a nice sized paper drive."
