Baron Vaughn Talks ‘Wild Life,’ 2020, and ‘Tales from the Hood’

Baron Vaughn graduated from Boston University’s theatre program and immediately went on to the Williamstown Theatre Festival. That same year he was cast in Drowning Crow with Alfre Woodard on Broadway. He was also featured in Damn Yankees at the NY City Center with Jane Krakowski and Sean Hayes. His television/film credits include Grace and Frankie, Girls, Superstore, Arrested Development, Cloverfield, and Black Dynamite. He is also the voice of Tom Servo on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for Netflix.

As a comedian, Baron has toured all over the country performing at festivals, clubs and theaters. He has been featured on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and appeared twice on CONAN on TBS. I sat with Baron to talk his new animated show on SyFy, Wildlife, that tells the story of a gang of zoo animal friends hanging out after the apocalypse. We also talked the mayhem that is 2020, as well as the stellar themes of Tales from the Hood. Catch the full interview below!
