Listen Later

Currently filming and starring opposite Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 7 (2022) and Mission Impossible 8 (2023), Esai Morales’ robust acting career, starting in the early 80s, includes performing in more than sixty tv shows and sixty movies. 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, he heard his mother's conversations as a union activist, involved with the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, from an early age. Over the years, Esai has advocated for countless charities and causes including literacy, environment, health, immigration, arts funding, and social justice causes. He currently serves on the Board of Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and was recently a candidate for president of SAG.

Esai, a self-proclaimed foodie, believes that food is critical to health which provided interesting conversation and common ground to be uncovered in this episode with host Brad Johnson.  Topics of conversation included spending time in Puerto Rico enjoying his cultural roots, how to talk yourself down from the feeling of envy in the world of glamour and fame aka Hollywood, philosophy about life and the meaning of success, appreciation for failures, his process for evaluating what food to eat and the value of detoxing, and the message of Fast Food Nation.
