Graham Kennedy discusses the film characters he's played, with critic Ivan Hutchinson in an interview to promote the release of The Odd Angry Shot (1979).

Graham mentions his first film role, as an extra in On The Beach (1959), and his cameos in They're a Weird Mob (1966) and the movie of The Box (1975) before his acting breakthrough came in Don's Party (1976).

The challenge of The Odd Angry Shot was playing a character totally unlike himself.
