On this episode of Our American Stories, Mark Metcalf is forever linked to one of the most memorable characters in comedy history: the rigid and relentless ROTC officer Douglas C. Neidermeyer in the 1978 film Animal House. Acting opposite John Belushi at the height of his power, Metcalf helped shape a movie that redefined American comedy. But Animal House was only the beginning of a career that would stretch across decades of film and television.

From his scene-stealing appearance as “The Maestro” on Seinfeld to his chilling portrayal of “The Master” on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Metcalf became a familiar face to audiences who loved characters with a few sharp edges. Metcalf joins us to tell his story.
