  Sam & Shawn Calvillo are owners of Eye-Deal Optique in El Paso (http://www.eyeglassrepairelpaso.com/), but they also have a side business of providing custom eyewear for several Hollywood movies.  Charles talks with Sam & Shawn about how they got their start in the movies, the challenges they sometimes face in getting just the right eyewear for their actors, and they share their memories of Robin Williams, who they worked with in several films, including "Mrs. Doubtfire."  In this expanded online version of the interview, Sam & Shawn also talk about their first venture into filmmaking, the 2001 film "Lloyd."
