In a surprisingly candid and in-depth interview, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan shares his incredible story of coming to the US from Mexico when he was young, had no money and didn't speak a word of English.

You'll hear how he:

honed his skills and understanding of dogs
became a celebrity dog walker
launched a television career
lost his money
got married and later divorced
raised two sons
hit the lowest point in his life
found inspiration again
and became the most famous dog trainer and dog guru on the planet.

But wait, there's more!

Sharon Lawrence Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

It's NYPD Blue's Sylvia Sipowicz! Yes, the woman whose provocative scenes were a major part of this groundbreaking, iconic TV series.

But wait! Sharon has also been a constant presence on television since then, in shows like:

Shameless
How to Get Away with Murder
The Ranch
Me, Myself and I
Queen Sugar
Rizzoli & Isles
Drop Dead Diva
One Tree Hill
Monk
Desperate Housewives
Ladies Man
Fired Up
and now! Dynasty. Yes, Dynasty. It's a new, updated version and you can see her on the October 26 episode on the CW.

You'll hear Sharon, who's also on the board of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, reflect on:

provocative TV
landing her famous gigs
moving from small-town to big-city life
her husband, parents, in-laws and friends
life, love and acting
fax machines, ticker tape and "the breakdown"

Enjoy!

BIG THANKS to Carson Beck for recording this episode at his stellar soundBOX Studio City.
