Michael Sheen was on the show October 23 to discuss his revival of Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood" at the 92nd Street Y. He is a fan of Murakami and Neil Gaiman. Find out what else he is a fan of!

What have you read or seen over the past year (book, play, film, etc...) that moved or surprised you?

I just watched “The Staircase,” an 8-part documentary series which was fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. Also, a terrific play by a young British writer Vicky Jones called “The One”—fresh and unique writing about a relationship. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds at the Shrine was a great rock n’ roll show.

What are you listening to right now?
The original Caedmon recordings of Dylan Thomas. Surprised at how funny some of them are—“A Visit to Grandpa’s” especially. Just got all of Scott Walker’s albums on vinyl which I’m very excited about. And early The Cure stuff like “Disintegration.”

What's the last great book you read?
Murakami’s “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.”

What's the one thing you're a fan of that people might not expect?
Science fiction. One of my favorite writers is Phillip K. Dick. And comics—Daniel Clowes, Jeff Lemire, Adrian Tomine, Neil Gaiman.

What's your favorite comfort food?
Egg and chips (fries).
