Celebrities Raising Cancer Awareness


Listen Later

In this very special and star-filled episode of Talk About It, Greg sits down with David Anders, Todd Stashwick and Jerry O'Connell to share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives. It will have you laughing, crying, and finding ways to come together to end this horrible disease once-and-for-all.

First up is David Anders, a delightfully eccentric and incredibly talented actor Greg worked with on Heroes and Alias. David opens up about his father's blood cancer diagnosis, and how his father dealt with his condition as a doctor who had massive impact on all of his patients. David still grapples with the major loss of his hero and friend.

Next, you'll hear from Todd Stashwick - also a brilliant actor and a self-described nerd enthusiast! Todd starred as Captain Liam Shaw on the critically aclaimed award-winning third season of Star Trek: Picard. Off screen he is an avid Dungeons and Dragons player who uses the hobby to raise money for the Pablove Foundation for pediatric cancer initiatives (PabLove.org). Todd's very good friends experienced the unthinkable when they lost their teenage daughter to cancer, so Todd laced up his running shoes and participates in half marathons in her memory. He also runs a charity livestream of DnD with audience participation to raise both awareness and money for Pablove.

Finally, after such heavy conversations, we lighten up a bit with the hilarious actor, gameshow and podcast host, and star of Star Trek: Lower Decks Jerry O'Connell. Jerry starts by lamenting about being the father of teenage daughters, but he ends up getting into how cancer has affected him through his dad's repeated battles. He inherited his family's tendency to only go to the doctor if you have to go, but after witnessing his father's multiple scares with skin cancer, he sees the importance of getting screened in advance to take a more preventative approach.
