Found on RSL's IMDB page

I know anyone can add anything to IMDB so I'm a little leery about posting this, but I was looking through RSL's IMDB page and saw under "Self" category, there was a project called "Going Live!" from the 1980s-1990s. According to IMDB, he appeared in episode 5x4 in 1991.

Anyone else ever heard of this? Because I haven't.


The episode was from season 5 and it aired on October 12, 1991.
Here's the info verbatim that I copied and pasted from a BBC webpage:

Actor Robert Sean Leonard who starred in the film Dead

Poets Society, is in the studio today, and Wet Wet Wet talk to Jakki Brambles in the USA.

It seems to be British. What was he doing around then?

[discofunction.livejournal.com]

He was in the UK doing 'Our Town' at the Shaftesbury Theatre in Autumn 1991!

This is a British show! I know it very well -used to watch it every Saturday morning as a kid! LOL!

Hmmmm, interesting.

So, I did some poking around on youtube, but can't seem to find anything from his episode. I did find a playlist of a TON of clips and partial episodes:

I skimmed them just looking for the correct day, month, year. Didn't have time to poke at the ones with no date stamp.
I also did a search for "Going Live" 1991 on YT...so many that are close to the date we need :-/

Next step would be to search for the people in the episode with him by name to see if there is any luck there, but I am out of time for right now.

Good sleuthing! I'll do a search and see what I come up with.

Haha! Going Live! I'm sure scrivo35 and snugs45 remember this show well!

He would have been doing Our Town in London at the time so I guess that's why he was on it!

This would be RSL TV gold but I doubt it will ever surface...

I wonder if he got to meet Gordon The Gopher... LOL!

Yes I think everybody watched it. Gordon the Gopher.. Ha ha. It would be amazing to find more about this but I don't think we will...still all things possible..maybe.

Another interview lost. We'll have to add it to the To Wong Foo audition tapes and other items to never see the light of day. (Seriously, what I wouldn't give for that to be released. I'm shocked there isn't an anniversary edition with all the audition tapes on it).
