Tony Goldwyn Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

Tony Goldwyn isn't just a fake president. Sure, he plays President Fitz Grant on Scandal, but the talented actor-director runs deep.

Listen in and you'll see...

You'll hear about:

Tony's new Broadway show, Network, with pal Bryan Cranston
Hollywood, showbiz, lies, smoke and mirrors
Anecdotes, childhood stories and tangents of all kinds
Wanting to feel more fabulous
Survival skills camp
An intense confrontation that cured Tony of a certain impulse
Acting, directing, selling yourself and creating backstories for characters
Tony's friendship with Bryan Cranston
Developing a thick skin
Struggling to get acting roles
All the people who told him he's underrated - or should hang it up
Reading bad reviews
Reading good reviews
Ghost
Dexter
Scandal
Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington and Bellamy Young

Hang out with us for an hour. You'll feel like you really know Tony Goldwyn. And you'll have a few laughs. And you'll feel better about your own self-doubt (if you have any, that is.)

The Danny Aiello Interview Dec 24, 2018

Show notes

Acting legend + icon Danny Aiello tells it like it is!

In this very fun chat, he talks about what happened behind the scenes of his films and tells stories about his famous friends (and enemies). The Do the Right Thing, The Godfather Part II and Moonstruck actor explains why there's bad blood between him and director Martin Scorsese, dishes on Robert De Niro scoring roles in Raging Bull and Goodfellas, and fills in the blanks about a huge fight he had with a famous actress.

The iconic actor is candid and honest -- about life, work, women, family, sexual assault, communism, film set shenanigans, being Italian and more.

You'll also hear Danny Aiello's music ... so stay tuned for the end of the show!

Adam Stephenson Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

When the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) asked me to record a few podcast episodes at their New York City conference, I happily said yes.

Here's my conversation with actor Adam Stephenson, from Mr. Mercedes, The Purge, 13 Reasons Why and more.

It was recorded at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York at the NAB Podcast Studio.

Most Really Famous episodes are more conversational than interview-ish, and this chat with Adam is no exception.

He's a deadpan, funny, smart guy - and we laugh. Enjoy!
