Dan is joined by actor turned prolific producer, podcaster, director, and more recently writer, Robert Duncan McNeill AKA Tom Paris from Star Trek: Voyager. Robert has become one of the best directors working today having directed many television shows over the years including One Tree Hill, The O.C., Supernatural, Chuck, White Collar, and Resident Alien, to name a few.

We chat about his podcast The Delta Flyers, the cathartic experience of watching Star Trek: Voyager, the struggles of anxiety, taking responsibility, the dream of directing, feeling like a fraud as an actor, moving around a lot, being painfully shy, stumbling into acting, saying yes, hitting it off with Wil Wheaton, a love for the rehearsal room, gratitude, retiring the acting, turning down a Broadway musical opportunity, taking on a leadership role, creative freedom of producing shows, wanting Scott Bakula to laugh, working on Chuck, writing an episode of Resident Alien, and so much more!
