Anthony LaPaglia - Amped Up Really Famous Kickoff! 09/10/2025

Anthony LaPaglia - Amped Up Really Famous Kickoff! Hi friends, welcome back to Really Famous. It’s been a minute, I know. Thank you for sticking with me when my release schedule got, shall we say, a bit looser than usual. Well, I’m here with good news. I’m back with more content than ever. While you’ve been waiting patiently for new episodes to appear in Apple Podcasts or Spotify or whatever your preferred podcast app is (thank you!), I’ve been busy behind the scenes. First, I partnered with YouTube. They connected me with an in-house YouTube pro, put me through a few boot camps and welcomed me into their YouTube creator community. I also recruited top talent working with very successful podcasters to help me give you even more rich conversations with fascinating people than I did before. You’ll get new podcasts every week. Plus extra bonus videos on YouTube. On Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, you’ll see new footage and clips and insights on the regular. It’s the same podcast. Same vibe. Same me. But it’ll feel like we’re hanging out more. Welcome back. The first new episode is next week. I'm back at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center in California for an updated talk with the Dog Whisperer himself. Well, kind of the Dog Whisperer. The name is part of a legal battle that we'll get an update on. Cesar also opens up about why he went to Will Smith for help. Yep. Will Smith. Cesar talks about who he’s dating now. The struggles he's been dealing with lately. And why he’d never repeat the relationship his parents have. Oh and I ask him about rumors swirling around him – because word on the street is that Cesar Millan is in prison. Or worse. This month you'll also get a talk with Eric Roberts, one of the most prolific actors out there. Of COURSE I ask him about Julia Roberts. And of course he opens up. We also talk about a personal problem that’s taken him years of therapy to figure out. Later this month, you’ll hear from someone totally different from anyone who’s been on the show. She has a big story to tell. And it involves someone you know. Today I’m releasing this talk Anthony LaPaglia and I had a couple of years ago. It seemed to get lost in the shuffle and it’s too good to go under the radar. So I’m putting it out there for you as a “welcome back” sort of thing. I’m into it. I think you will be too. It’s also on YouTube, by the way. Which, as it turns out, is now the #1 place where people get their podcasts. Did you know that?!? Surprising, right? AND a ton of people watch podcasts on YouTube podcasts on their TVs. They may be doing something in the background, like cooking or cleaning or catching up on emails, I’m not entirely sure. But it’s pretty cool. So if you want to give that a try, head to YouTube.com/ReallyFamous. You’ll see a bunch of playlists on my channel, including one that says PODCAST. Click play and boom, you’re in. And you’ll see many more videos with my celebs as well. It’s a smorgasboard. Take anything you like! And enjoy! Here’s Anthony LaPaglia. Talk to you next week on the podcast. And even sooner on YouTube and my socials if you visit me there. Cheers! And go watch Betsy's Wedding, please.

Beverly D'Angelo classic 11/12/2024

Beverly D'Angelo classic This is my classic talk with Beverly D’Angelo. Bev and I were texting last week and decided it’s time to record a new talk, especially since she’s been up to a lot since we first recorded this talk in 2019. But we’re having some trouble coordinating our schedules, so I’m running this one now because it’s a fun one with juicy stories and it’s entirely possible we won’t get that new one on the books anytime soon. And since Bev’s ex, Al Pacino, who’s also the father of her twins, has a new memoir out, called Sonny Boy, I thought, yeah, let’s also hear from Bev, who has quite a few stories of her own. National Lampoon's Vacation turned actress Beverly D'Angelo into an American icon. She played Ellen Griswold, Chevy Chase's wife, of course. But that's just part of the story. I sit down with Bev at her Los Angeles home to talk about all the other things in her life. (And let's not forget Annie Hall, Any Which Way But Loose, Coal Miner's Daughter, Entourage, Shooter, Insatiable, etc., but more on that later.) Yes, we talk about how Vacation happened and how it changed things, and we get into SO MUCH MORE, like: Podcasts (hers + mine + other people's) Bev's background Bev's family Growing up in Columbus, Ohio Conformity Authenticity Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll Getting pregnant at age 48 Meeting, falling in love, and having kids with Al Pacino Al Pacino's mystique and how his fame has grown Addictive behavior Why she did Vacation after at first saying 'No.' Chevy Chase Why I should talk to Chevy now (and PS I really, really want to) Getting shunned by Hollywood Insecurity in Hollywood Other love stories BONUS VIDEO!

Ed Begley, Jr. 11/29/2023

Ed Begley, Jr. 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 ➤ 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! And check out soundBOX:LA, where we taped this episode (and others).
