Actor Peter Macon is an Emmy Award winning voice actor who has had a slow rise to fame. That rise will no doubt be accelerated by his terrific work as Raka in the blockbuster hit, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. In Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Raka is the keeper of legends, doing his best to maintain the legend of Caesar, the first Ape leader, and the subject of the previous three Apes movies. Raka stands in defiance of those who corrupt Caesar's legend and try to twist his teaching to fit their narrative of ape domination. Raka is also a friend and ally to Noa, the film's protagonist, providing a listening ear and wise guidance to the young, headstrong, Noa. Peter Macon is awesome in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and it was our pleasure to have him on Wake Up Tri-Counties this week.
