Character actors Keith David and David Keith gave their first joint interview — and discussed a bizarre incident in which one of them was impersonated by a scammer, and the other had to deal with the fallout due to a name mix-up.
The two similarly-named prolific character actors sat down for their first joint interview with the "What Are We Talking About?" podcast to share outrageous stories of being mixed up.
"I get a phone call from this young Israeli woman who said that I ripped her off for $650," Keith began. " I told her that I would help her career, help her get an agent, help her with acting, all this stuff for $650."Keith had no recollection of any interaction with the woman. "I said, 'No, I did not do that,' and she said, 'Yes you did.' and she called me," he continued.
Keith joked, "I thought, 'Maybe Keith had a little lull in his career…'" while David remained flummoxed, replying, "Oh my God."Earlier in the interview, Keith talked about receiving confusing requests from fans. "The confusion between me and Keith has entered my fan mail," he said. "You know, I sign pictures and baseballs all the time, and every once in a while, I get a picture of Keith. And so I flip it over, write 'Not me,' and mail it back.
The two character actors also reflected on some of their most iconic roles. Keith broke down one of the standout scenes in. "People ask me 'How did you swallow the ring?', right?" he said. "Of course, I just put it under my tongue, and they cut, and it's not in my mouth after the cut. But I tell people, 'You know that invisible string they use in movies? They had that attached to the ring and I actually swallowed it and pulled it out of my esophagus each time.
