Actor Michael Hitchcock (the 65th stranger I met) has a prominent role in the new FX television show “The Lowdown.” It’s described as a “Tulsa noir” and stars Ethan Hawke as a citizen journalist seeking to uncover corruption.
Michael plays Ray, an antiques dealer of questionable trustworthiness who is a friend of Hawke’s character. He’s in four out of the first season’s eight episodes, which air every Tuesday on FX and Wednesday on Hulu.
In October 2014, I got lunch with Michael in West Hollywood. He talked about his long career in acting and comedy, including roles in several Christopher Guest films, writing for the TV show “Glee” and much more.
