The Exorcist pt. 2

This is the second episode of our two-part Exorcist episode.

We will continue our look at The Exorcist (the book by William Peter Blatty and the film by William Friedkin). We will do our Dream Cast and Schrödinger’s Cast for the 1973 film. We will look at six key characters in the movie, and pick the actor/actress that would have best fit that role, and also an outside-the-box cast: Regan MacNeil | Linda Blair Chris MacNeil | Ellen Burstyn Father Damien Karras | Jason Miller Father Lankester Merrin | Max von Sydow Lt. William Kinderman | Lee J. Cobb Burke Dennings | Jack Macgowran Troy Harkin and David Clink will continue to look at the book and the movie, and talk about the impact that they have had. Our special guest, from episode 1, is back for episode 2. Valentino Assenza will have a lot to add about the 1973 film. See author photo and bio below.
