Okay, well not ACTUALLY Johnny Cash. But Canadian actor Jacob Hemphill is portraying him at the Persephone Theatre in their production of “Million Dollar Quartet”.

This is an on-stage portrayal of a fateful December in 1956, when Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and Carl Perkins all ended up in the same room at Sun Records in what would become one of rock n’ roll’s most pivotal nights.

Actor Jacob Hemphill (Johnny Cash) hopped on the phone to chat about the production.
