The headline at the top of this blog post probably isn’t fair. Willie Nelson did not actually record a duet with Jobe Smith, a gardener with intellectual disabilities who gets plugged into a virtual reality supercomputer and becomes a godlike digital super-being. But when you have the opportunity to make a graphic that puts a beloved 92-year-old music legend next to a 1992 CGI nightmare, you have to do it.<\/p>\n
Let’s back up. Jeff Fahey is grizzled character actor with more than 40 years of experience. He has literally hundreds of film and TV credits \u2014 Lost<\/em>, Wyatt Earp<\/em>, a bunch of Robert Rodriguez movies, Darkman III: Die Darkman Die<\/em>, etc. He is exactly the kind of actor who might end up co-writing a Willie Nelson song; it’s really not that weird. But when you play the titular role in Brett Leonard’s 1992 Stephen King adaptation Lawnmower Man<\/em>, you will always be the Lawnmower Man to some of us. <\/p>\n Fahey has played many roles in independent films over the years, and he sometimes offers to write music for those films. In a recent podcast interview, Fahey says that he and his songwriting partners have four songs on the soundtrack of The Gray House<\/em>, a new limited series from Amazon Prime, and that he’s “riding this wonderful wave.”<\/p>\n
