	Exclusive Interview: Harry Shearer for "For Your Consideration"
		Shearer went on to craft various projects that showcased his knack for voices and social satire beginning with "The TV Show" (1979), a busted pilot for a sketch comedy series co-written and produced with Rob Reiner.
		Shearer and company knowingly lampooned aging rockers and their vanity movies with the hilarious and influential "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984).
		Shearer performed small roles in some big screen hits "The Fisher King" (1991), "A League of Their Own" (1992) and "Wayne's World 2" (1993) but he saved his creative juices for his own TV and radio projects.
