Corey wanders on stage to join the rest of the cast, dressed in their 19th-century costumes of waistcoats and bustles. They link arms, talk softly among themselves, hum quietly, lean in close - and yell an emphatic, unprintable epithet about Nazis.

"It's actually something that Irwin started," Stoltz says. "It's to unify our company energy and spirit. After we do it everyone always says it's very true."

Corey explains: "It fills us with a sense of vengeance."

In his dressing room at the Barrymore, alongside pictures of his 7-year-old grandson and a stack of books on Shakespeare and World War II, is a picture of Corey hugging Fidel Castro in 1993, when Corey went to Cuba to deliver thousands of dollars worth of medicine.

Corey tried to join the Communist Party back when doing so could mean an appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee. But it was the Communist Party, not the government, that blacklisted him.

"I wanted to join the party, but they wouldn't let me," he says. "They said I was an Anarchist."

Well, is he?

"I think so," he says.

One funny funny man....

When Thomas Pynchon won the National Book Award for Gravity's Rainbow, he hired Corey to show up and pretend to be Pynchon and deliver the acceptance speech...

2. Hell, I had no idea he was still ALIVE!

I thought he died along with Abe Vigoda and Kaye Ballard when the Queen Mary sank.

Great link!
