Cast and Crew Memories Special - Part 2

May 24, 2024·35 min·2 clips

Van Winkle, creator of the Sheridan Tapes, reflects on spending half his 20s making the show and still not knowing how to let it go two months after finishing.

An advertisement opens the tape. Once it clears, Chris Martin introduces himself as Robert Quincy and remembers how he came into the project after Van Winkle heard him on The Bridge. At first, it was simple: a few 911 dispatcher lines for season one, more like helping out than joining something larger. Then the call came back. Martin says season two pulled him deeper into the world, turning that small dispatch voice into a steadier place in the ensemble. His memory has a soft, careful quality. He talks about entering the show piece by piece, from table read to character work to hearing the finished episode. Episode 89 carries weight for him. His thanks to Van Winkle and Virginia Spots feels less like a plug than a goodbye from someone glad he got to step inside. Alex Bowie follows with an easy warmth. He says he voiced the Supervisor in episode 85, a brief supermarket part built around someone tired of the job but still stuck doing it. The role was small. What stayed with him was the surprise of friends writing to say they already listened to The Sheridan Tapes and had heard him in it. That meant something. Bowie describes the production as relaxing, laid-back, great, and grateful, while still letting the ending feel sad. The mood is communal. These memories are less about explaining the fiction than about showing the people around it, measuring their time through lines recorded, scenes finished, and listeners reached. Ian DePriest is introduced next, but the excerpt cuts away before his memory gets going.

As heard by us

Cast and Crew Memories Special - Part 2 stays close to small, specific recollections. Chris Martin looks back to Robert Quincy’s few 911-dispatcher lines in season one, before the part turned into a recurring supporting role, and Alex Bowie remembers a short supermarket…
