Natasha Henstridge "Species" May 13, 2024

Show notes

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD, I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Natasha Henstridge of “Species”.

In Hollywood, aliens coming to earth has been a “go to” theme for screenwriters for decades.

And of course, not all of the “creatures from the beyond” are as adorable and gentle as “ET”. Some are here to wreak havoc among the human race…

In 1995, one classic alien movie brought a horrible creature to earth, perfectly packaged as one of the most beautiful women to ever walk our planet.

Jillian Barberie "NFL on Fox" Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

This is Still Here Hollywood, I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, Host - Actress - Model, and cancer survivor, Jillian Barberie.

If there’s anything you learn about when coming to California to “give it a try” in Hollywood, is that it’s rarely as glamorous or carefree as it may appear.

Chasing stardom can lead down many paths. And becoming the “personality” that you’re hired to be, can be a challenge.

And sometimes life tosses a wring into those plans and career. And it’s not always a small wrench.

Show notes

Growing up in showbiz, like today's guest did, is a smidge different than how most of us were raised.

Breckin Meyer "Clueless" Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest from Clueless, Breckin Meyer.

Some “Teen Movies” only hit home with their target audience: teens. Most of those films come and go from theaters without a lot of fanfare. But once in a while a movie comes along with adorable characters and spectacular lines that live on forever, filed away under “Smarmy” in our vocabularies.

In 1995, one skateboarding / stoner character won over audiences with his slightly buzzed kindness. He immediately became a heartthrob who would go on to bring that charm and talent to dozens of productions both in front of, and behind the camera. Whatever…

Jerry O'Connell "Jerry Maguire" Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

If you're one to pay attention to Hollywood tabloids you'd know that it's fairly rare to a child actor to keep their career thriving deep into adulthood.

One versitile star, who was in his first hit film at 11 years old, has thrived for decades as an actor and has pivoted into the world of Talk and Game Show hosting. But despite the many roles and successes he has raked up in his 40 year career, his most important role is being a dad to daughters.

Eric Roberts "Dark Knight" Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

This is Still Here Hollywood. I'm Steve Kmetko. Join me with today's guest, who has acted in over 700 films, actor, Eric Roberts.

How do you define a Hollywood legend? Is it the number of roles that theuy've played? Is it reaching over a billion dollars in box office receipts? Is it longevity?

The Steve Kmetko Firing Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

As a longtime entertainment reporter, I'm accustimed to "asking" the questions...

The rule has been, if you're holding the microphone, your job is to find out about the person you're aiming the mic at.

Today is different... I was asked to leave hollyood 20 years ago. Let's just say it wasn't my choice. Then again, to say that my life has been a strugggle after leaving the red carpets and achnor chair, would be overstating things. A little.

I knew the job was dangerous when i took it. ;)

This is Still Here Hollywood, and today, I'll telll you the story that I've never told, fully.

In recovery you learn "you're only as sick as your secrets". So with that in mind, I'm leaving the questioning to "Friend of the podcast", actor Amy Yasbeck.

Richard Karn "Home Improvement" Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me, with today’s guest from “Home Improvement”, Richard Karn.

Chewbacca… Robin… Tattoo… Ed McMahon. Sidekicks in film and television are some of the most important roles to fill on a cast. And all are pivotal to the success of the show. In the 1990’s there was an unforgettable sidekick who hammered his way to fame on one of the most popular comedies of the decade.

Debbe Dunning "Home Improvement" Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me, with today’s guest, and one of the stars of “Home Improvement”, Debbe Dunning.

In the 1990’s television was in its heyday… The bulk of shows were still on the four broadcast networks. No streaming yet. Some cable. It was great.

One show on ABC catapulted some of its early stars into worldwide superstardom. One went to “Infinity and beyond”. Another went to the beach.

But when a cast changes on a TV hit, the show obviously, must sill go on.

There was one actor who perfectly filled the shoes and tool belt of the previous star in order to help keep the show on the air for years.
