I think the word crazy gets thrown around a little too loosely, but not with this guest! Kidding, she’s not crazy, she’s amazing and we are super excited to have her on this week’s episode. Steph Tolev is a standup comedian with a bit of a temper, a dad with a bit of a temper, roots in Highland Dance and isn’t afraid to step up to you in the math hallway.

This week Jay sits down with his Logan Marshall-Green, his costar from “The Invitation”. Costar is a loose term for Jay, Logan was the lead, Jay had some lines. Good buddies since the film the guys talk family, camping, what goes into acting and how hard or easy it is to cry while acting. Logan is a modern-day renaissance man just like his dad and this conversation is one to learn from, laugh at and enjoy. Share on social media and with friends.

This week on the Thruline I welcome my good friend Tom Everett Scott. You know Tom from "I'm Sorry" on TruTV and of course as "Shades" in the cult classic, "That Thing You Do". Tom is a great actor and someone I have known for a while through a good friend. Since getting to know each other he acted in some shorts I made for Fox and last summer I was lucky enough to act in an Indie film,"All Square" together. We sit down and talk growing up in Massachusetts, acting and what the hell else life would be without acting.

Being a wizard doesn’t necessarily make you a magician, for instance Dan Harmon is a Dungeons and Dragons phenom but he can’t make you disappear. But I ask you, does being a magician make you a wizard? Or give you wizardry? Take a listen to this week’s interview with Magician and TV host Justin Willman as we talk about how one gets into magic, gets into comedy and manages to do it both with class and style. Such a great guy, give a listen and hare across all social media! #thruline
