  • Hank Garrett: the Legendary Actor! (Season 01 Ep. #9)


    Hank Garrett has had one incredible life and career! His book "From Harlem Hoodlum to Hollywood Heavyweight" is the perfect title to his self penned autobiography which was co-written by his talented wife Deanna-Marie Smith! I could not put this page turner down and have enjoyed it from cover to cover! In this podcast episode Hank and I discuss his small and large screen acting experiences in "Car 54 Where are You" to "Three Days of the Condor" and more. We also talk about some of his treasured personal encounters with the likes of Sammy Davis Jr., Jerry Lewis, Robert Redford, Audrey Hepburn and others! We touch on Hank's love of martial arts, standup comedy, professional wrestling, and his amazing friends and family. As a true rags to riches from the school of hard knocks kid, to an award winning actor, Pro-Wrestling and Martial Arts Hall of Famer and gifted philanthropist, Hank truly has as I previously stated, indeed led an incredible life!

    Check out Hank's autobiography From Harlem Hoodlum to Hollywood Heavyweight. As an autobiography junkie, I can say It's honestly one of the best I've read!

  • Barry Livingston: Discussing His Days as Ernie Douglas from My Three Sons and Beyond! (Season 01 Ep. #8)
    Barry Livingston joins me to talk about his illustrious and lengthy career working alongside some of biggest names in the business. Elvis, William Frawley, Paul Newman, and Jerry Lewis are just a few of the folks we discuss in this interview. To this day Barry is still pumping out high-quality performances. Case in point his role in the new Mixed Martial Arts Docudrama "Notorious Nick". 
    It's the story of Nick Newell, young man who was born with one arm and a big dream.  Based on the true story Nick Newell and how he overcome his disability and a world of naysayers, to win an MMA championship in 2012.
    Heading the cast is Cody Christian (Teen Wolf, Mom, All American on the CW) as Nick Newell; Elisabeth Rohm (Law & Order) as Nick's mom; Kevin Pollak (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel) as Nick's promoter: And starring iconic veteran actor, Barry Livingston (My Three Sons, Mad Men, The Social Network) as Nick's high school coach and MMA trainer.
    A true Hollywood survivor, Barry Livingston is one of the former child stars who turned early success into a lifelong career. Perhaps best recognized from his 8 years on the 12 year hit series “My Three Sons” and most recently for his roles on Mad Men or The Social Network, Barry Livingston has wisely managed to re-invent himself over the years. In the now iconic role of Ernie Douglas, he practically defined the prototype of the word nerd (buck teeth, horn-rimmed glasses and all), to survive the stereotypes, the dangers of sex, depression and drugs that seem to plague former child stars to become one of Hollywood's most respected, working actors and the quintessential family man. 
    Other work includes early hits such as Here's Lucy, Ozzie & Harriett, as well as contemporary series including Two and Half Men, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Monk, Big Love, Crossing Jordan, Will and Grace, the West Wing, Warner Brothers Argo (directed by and starring Ben Affleck), the highly rated series, Castle.  In addition, appeared in the ABC sitcom, Suburgatory, and the Hallmark Channel movie, Loves' Christmas Journey, as well as the Killer Role (literally) in Hostel 3. His memoirs (The Importance of Being Ernie/) appeared on many best-sellers lists including Amazon.

  • Michael Learned: A Conversation with the Multi Emmy Award Winning Actress ! (Season 01 Ep. #7)

    Coinciding With The 50th Anniversary of The Hit Series, The Waltons

    One of TV's Most Respected Moms, Michael Learned (Olivia Walton)
    Is Now Starring in a Lead Role of The New Ryan Murphy Netflix Series

    In the new Netflix series Dahmer, Michael gives a riveting performance as Jeffery's grandmother Cathrine! We discuss just how much she loved working with the super-talented Evan Peters in the lead role. And yes, the story line creeped her out. No surprise there.

    Meanwhile The Waltons is turning 50! Michael reminisces about her role as one of TV's most beloved mothers Olivia Walton. Her performances won her 3 out of the 4 Best Actress Emmys on her mantle. We also talk about the short lived series which earned her a 4th win, "Nurse".

    She was an absolute joy to speak with as you'll hear. I can best describe her as down to earth, effervescent, and clearly still in love with her craft, of which she has proven herself to be an absolute master.


    Prior to Covid, Michael Learned received Best Actress Award at SOHO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL and Best Actress at the Hollywood Womens Film Festival for SECOND ACTS.  Learned was then Honored at the Las Vegas MegaFest International Film Festival with a Lifetime Achievement Award following a screening of the film earlier this year. The Covid Pandemic caused a delay in its distribution..

    SECOND ACTS airs on Direct TV's dedicated short film channel called Shorts HD from a company called Shorts TV (https://shorts.tv/en/).  ShortsTV is the global home of short movies, with the world's largest catalogue of high quality short movies available on TV, online and in theaters, and also produce original short film content for broadcasters and brands. TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/298223202

  • TV's Michael Gray: Billy Batson from "Shazam!" in Our Continued Conversation! (Season 01 Ep. #5)

    In this episode I reconnect with my friend "TV's Michael Gray"! We pick up from our YouTube Live-Stream conversation we had a few months back on my Golden RAGE of TV channel. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/sBkyWdN091A

    Michael is a warm and humble individual who shares his innermost experiences as both a teen-idol and classic TV actor who happened to work with some of the biggest names in show business! You'll love his loving and entertaining stories about being a teen-idol and how it both worked for him and against him. Hear about his interactions with the great Les Tremayne, Burt Reynolds, Brian Keith, and Jerry Lewis, not to mention a near miss with The Beatles!! We also get into how by chance he fell into some repeated appearances on the critically acclaimed Adult Swim series "Archer". As "TV's Michael Gray"! He's honored me with a new moniker btw. I am now "Podacast's Pat McCormack" thank you very much! But don't believe for a second that we don't discuss his signature role as Billy Batson on Shazam! Enjoy!

    We both want to thank our mutual friend Barry King from "B.K. on the Air" for helping to forge this friendship! Catch BK on the Air every Saturday with your TuneIn app. Search WBHF radio from 10am to noon (Eastern) ...you WILL be entertained!

  • Jon Provost: aka "Timmy Martin" from Lassie Talks with Me! (Season 01 Ep. #3)

    Most remember Jon Provost as the loving child-owner of classic television's Lassie. But did you know his career began earlier than this 1957 role when he starred in a couple major motion pictures with some of the biggest Hollywood stars ever? We talk about what he can remember from those days. Although some of his memories are foggy, obviously due to his extremely young age (4 years old). But what he does remember is extremely interesting! 

    We also discuss his days on Lassie, and working with his lifelong friend the legendary June Lockhart. Jon shares his memories playing "Timmy Martin" and working with his canine co-star(s). The conversation leads into his career(s) after leaving show business, but not before we touch on his co-starring as "Bradley" alongside one Kurt Russell in the Disney classic film The Computer Wore Tennis shoes. Enjoy!

    Check out Jon Provost's website here: http://www.jonprovost.com See all the cool merch he has available at his online store and to keep informed about all of his upcoming personal appearances!
