Yes, it's Peter Brady!

From The Brady Bunch.

I met Chris at his beautiful beach home in Southern California (check it out here).

I met his wife, Cara, and his cat, Titus. Then Chris and I sat down for a long time. He told me about how he got into show business, how the Brady Bunch environment saved him, in a way, from his not-so-perfect home life, and why his relationship with Kara is evidence that he's now in a healthy place.

And yes, he shares tons of behind-the-scenes Brady Bunch scoop! Like who provoked who. And what REALLY happened between Barry Williams and Florence Henderson.

You'll hear about:

• Why his dad wanted him to audition for The Brady Bunch
• Why his mom didn't like the show
• Robert Reed's disappointment
• Issues with his mom
• Growing up in the Valley
• Why and how he made Maureen McCormick cry
• Why he deserted acting
• Australia
• Mike Lookinland and Utah
• Being a leaf in the river
• His marriages
• How his real family and his Brady family conflicted
• Major life lessons
• Reality TV (The Surreal Life and My Fair Brady) and why he did it

Alfred Hitchcock was obsessed with the iconic movie star while filming The Birds and Marnie. And it got ugly.

In this entertaining and laughter-filled interview at her wildlife sanctuary, Shambala, you'll hear Tippi and Kara talk about Marlon Brando, Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas and Charlie Chaplin, being strong, getting nervous, scary moments, lions and tigers and her cat Johnny Depp.

It's like hanging out with old friends. Smiles all around.

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Jane the Virgin narrator and movie trailer voice artist Anthony Mendez could entertain me all day with his deep voice!

Anthony will entertain you too, starting with a little gem to kick off the podcast.

His voice!

What he shares about his life as a voice actor is equally entertaining. Sit back (or walk your dog...or commute to work...or run a few miles...) and enjoy.

You'll hear us bond over small-town New Jersey and:

• Where his "Latin Lover Narrator" voice came from
• His recent move from New Jersey to Los Angeles
• Why LA can be a lonely town
• His unidentifiable accent
• The worries of both voice actors and on-camera actors
• How often he showers and shaves (or not)
• Inside scoop on promos and movie trailers
• Anthony's big moment
• Being a Latino voice actor -- and stereotypes
• Fun fact about narrating from his bed in NJ!
• He walks us through PRECISELY the steps he takes to narrate Jane the Virgin, including recaps
• Television Academy categories and how tricky they can be
• Ego vs. business
• Visibility and elevating your "brand"
• We struggle - and struggle - and struggle to remember the name of the actor who plays Captain Kirk.

TRIVIA: Which of my other guests (past or future!) are from New Jersey?
