We talk about all of it.

• Her childhood
• Fear, insecurity, anxiety and truth
• The LatinX experience in the US
• Immigration reform

You'll hear about:

• Hollywood, showbiz, lies, smoke and mirrors
• Tony's Broadway show, Network, with pal Bryan Cranston
• Anecdotes, childhood stories and tangents of all kinds
• Wanting to feel more fabulous
• Survival skills camp
• An intense confrontation that cured Tony of a certain impulse
• Acting, directing, selling yourself and creating backstories for characters
• Developing a thick skin
• Struggling to get acting roles
• All the people who told him he's underrated - or should hang it up
• Reading bad reviews
• Reading good reviews
• Ghost
• Dexter
• Scandal
• Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington and Bellamy Young

Hang out with us for an hour. You'll feel like you really know Tony Goldwyn. And you'll have a few laughs. And you'll feel better about your own self-doubt (if you have any, that is.)

Steve Zahn (Reality Bites, Friends, That Thing You Do, Sahara, Saving Silverman, Dallas Buyers Club, Suburbia...) is so fun onscreen that he's kinda the best thing about every movie he's in. Or at least every scene.

Last spring, Steve was in town for the Brooklyn Film Festival, where his short film, I'm No Holiday, written and directed by his friend and fellow actor Rick Gomez, was screening.

So I met him in Williamsburg. We set up the voice recorder. And later, a camera. (You can see him and me do a funny video with random questions at YouTube.com/reallyfamous.) Here's the result.

You'll hear about:

• He laughs at which movies and TV shows I watched to "research" him
• How Ben Stiller "discovered" him
• Reality Bites
• Friends
• Shattered Glass
• Saving Silverman
• Theater acting
• Bonding with Ethan Hawke
• The 5 people he still keeps in touch with, which includes a few phenomenal (and famous) actors
• The timeless magic of That Thing You Do
• Tom Hanks
• Face Deals (stay tuned!)
• Auditioning
• The American Repertory Theater, aka The ART Institute at Harvard University
• Self-tape, or doing auditions at home and uploading them to Vimeo
• His wife, successful writer Robyn Peterman
• Social media, marketing and live tweeting
• Luck vs. hard work
• Being recognized
• The White House Correspondents' Dinner
• Being a farmer
• Compassion
• Being real
• The theater of politicians
• Beavis and Butthead
• Mike Judge
• Bradley Whitford
• It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
• Doctor Zhivago
• Bridge Too Far
• Quibi

Actor Rhea Seehorn plays Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad that’s having a STELLAR 5th season. And Rhea is FRONT AND CENTER.

We met when they had just wrapped season 4.

I really enjoyed this talk with Rhea, who you may also know from the show Whitney.

We also recorded a fun (and funny) video, which you can catch RIGHT NOW on my YouTube channel (YouTube.com/ReallyFamous), along with a few talks with Patrick Fabian, who plays Howard Hamlin on Better Call Saul.

Next week, I reach into the vault for my talk with Michael McKean, who was also on Better Call Saul.

I like Rhea.

Enjoy!
