Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed so many times and he's done with the same old questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same old questions.

But!

He has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-hosted the Tonys, made albums, received 40+ awards for his humanitarianism, got 3 honorary degrees, holy moly, the list goes on!) that I felt overwhelmed. Where was I going to go with this interview?

Then it hit me.

Proverbs.

Listen now and you'll know exactly what I mean.

The Young and the Restless icon Eric Braeden, aka Victor Newman, returns to Really Famous as we sit down at CBS Studios in Los Angeles, on the set of the daytime drama, to talk about the wildest and scariest times in Eric's life, his recent bout with bladder cancer, trauma and drama, making it in Hollywood, his penchant for fast cars and the shocking things he's done when he was pulled over by the police, his granddaughters, his veracity, and oh so much more. Plus, he compares me to Larry King. So that's fun too.

If you have mental illness in your family or know someone with narcissistic or borderline personality disorder, this one's for you. Actor Reid Scott (Veep, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Why Women Kill) and I dive into personal stories and I share insight as a mental health expert in a special #mentalhealth episode of Really Famous, where Reid interviews me and also opens up about his family and their mental health struggles.

It's the second time Reid is on Really Famous and this time, he's asking the questions. And revealing personal stories. And getting feedback from Kara.

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson

Music: Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - Incompetech - Creative Commons

Disclaimer: This is not a professional advice podcast. It is for entertainment purposes only. It is not intended as medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.

A one-of-a-kind talk with one-of-a-kind actor Ed Begley, Jr!

Ed reveals why he spent most of his life as a con man (his words, not mine!), telling lies, breaking the law, doing drugs, drinking too much, cheating on women, and feeling like a victim. We also talk about living with Parkinson's Disease and how Ed changed his life around sometime between St. Elsewhere and Better Call Saul.

We get into a lot, including on:

• Old Hollywood stories involving icons like Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, drugs and the police
• Ed shares family bombshells – found out his mother wasn't his mother.
• I call him out on being a liar.
• He reveals that he talks to Jack Nicholson (who nobody has seemed to hear from in a very long time).
• Better Call Saul - and our favorite, Patrick Fabian
• Playing Victor Ehrlich on St Elsewhere
• We have a very honest, candid conversation about living with Parkinson's Disease after hiding it – and not knowing - for years.
• Ed brings me a copy of his new memoir, To the Temple of Tranquility...and Step on It, which you can get in my Amazon shop ➤ https://amzn.to/3MukbEf
• We bond over being optimists.
• I analyze Ed, in a nutshell.

Bonus:

At the end of today's show, I added a bonus 10-minute chat with Tim Friedlander, owner of soundBOX recording studio, where he gives us a whole bunch of fascinating factoids about voice acting and what goes on behind the scenes of our favorite movies, TV shows, commercials, video gamees and more. Stay tuned!
