Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum

Michael Jai White (Spawn, Black Dynamite, The Dark Knight) joins me this week for the longest conversation I have ever had on this show, and I did not want it to end. Michael opens up about growing up in Brooklyn and Bridgeport where violence was right outside the doorstep, being on his own since 14, and the lunch with a friend who served 30 years in prison that made him realize how close he came. We get into where his anger really came from and the mindset that ended it, his honest feelings about Spawn, what Heath Ledger was like when cameras were not rolling, playing Mike Tyson, and the night he got jumped by five men and walked away. He also breaks down the generational conditioning he caught working on himself, and why he calls poverty a gift.

James B. Jones and Shelley Wolfe (Love on the Spectrum) join me this week and I fell for these two the same way everybody else has, fast. What surprised me was how much this conversation goes beneath the show. We talk about what filming is really like, five or six hours of cameras for a few minutes of footage, and how the version people see is only one side of them. Shelley opens up about the comments that hurt, the people who assumed she had no voice when she is a senior advertising manager who presents in English and Japanese, and James gets honest about growing up bullied, the special education program he was once ashamed of, and how proud he is of it now. Add in their love story, their surprising love of heavy metal, and a running gag about who the best Lex Luthor really is, and this one left me rooting for them harder than ever.

Fortune Feimster (The Hawk, FUBAR, The Mindy Project) joins me this week to reflect on where her career is at now amidst the hardest year of her personal life. She discusses how much the industry has changed compared to when she was struggling to break through at a time when "different" wasn't so accepted. We also get into the emotional scene in The Hawk that left her and Will Ferrell both teary-eyed, how she stays in touch with Arnold Schwarzenegger when the guy doesn't own a phone, and how life imitated art after her Netflix special Crushing It.

Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210, Private Eyes) joins me this week for one I have wanted to do for years, and it goes to some heavy places. We get into the 2002 race car crash that technically killed him, flatlining in the helicopter and again in the elevator, and the long road back. Jason opens up about losing Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty, the ego that comes with fame in your early 20s, and why patience is the one lesson that finally stuck. We also swap stories about directing, hosting SNL with Chris Farley, and where he finds his self worth now.

Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, How to Train Your Dragon) joins us this week for one of the most open and disarming conversations we have had. Nick opens up about the psychological collapse 6 years ago that completely rebuilt him and the version of himself he had to let go of. We also get into manifesting the role of Hagrid in the new Harry Potter series by writing the name 12,000 times, the hypervigilance that came from a violent childhood, losing 200 pounds, and why he is a better person on set than he is at home.

Patrick Renna (The Sandlot, The Big Green, Dugout Dads) joins us this week for a warm and surprisingly raw conversation about carrying a movie three generations have loved since he was thirteen years old. Patrick gets into the almost ridiculous way he landed The Sandlot, why the you play ball like a girl scene was never written for him, and why he will not perform the line everybody asks him for. We also get into the single negative comment that can undo fifty good ones, the money reality of making scale on a classic, and the moment he nearly cried talking about what he hopes his kids remember about him.

Sam Jones III (Smallville, Blue Mountain State) finally comes by and this one goes everywhere I hoped it would. We start with the Pete Ross days, meeting Tom Welling in the van, the chemistry read with Allison Mack, and the Seinfeld night a crowd chased us down the street. Then Sam opens all the way up about the one bad decision that sent him to prison, the DEA setup posing as the Mexican mafia, and the friend who walked free while Sam took time. He tells me about Brother Elam, the man who changed his life inside, the depression that nearly took him when Elam was gone, and the father who talked him back from the edge.

Kellan Lutz (Twilight, The Legend of Hercules) joins us this week for an unexpectedly deep and disarming conversation about leaving California for Tennessee, the intensive couples therapy that cracked open a childhood he had completely blacked out, and the post Twilight pressure that made him lose his secret sauce while chasing roles like Captain America and Thor. Kellan opens up about the rowboat analogy that changed his marriage, the Jeff Bridges advice he carried with him from his very first movie, and why he walked around doing press in a fake Hercules accent for months.

Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons, Rugrats) joins us this week for a warm and energized conversation about the unique anonymity that comes with being one of the most recognizable voices in television history. Nancy opens up about losing her mother just two weeks before she moved to LA at twenty, why she chose to bury herself in work as her way through that grief, and how a high school marching band cadence eventually became Bart Simpson's most famous catchphrase. We also get into stepping into Chucky Finster on Rugrats, racing 158 miles an hour on a NASCAR track, and why after 38 seasons she still walks into every Simpsons table read like it is the first day.

Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Burn Notice) joins me this week for one of the most honest and moving conversations I have had on the show. Bruce opens up about his cancer diagnosis, the whack a mole life of living with something treatable but not curable, and the strange waves of gratitude that have left him feeling more present and more grateful than ever. We also get into making his new movie Ernie and Emma with full creative control for the first time since Evil Dead, walking away from the fear based studio system, and why he says he ruined himself by finally learning what a good film set feels like.
