how important that was to show up,
look in your best self.
I was bullied as a child.
It took about two years for you to-
Coming into Hollywood.
I had a lot to prove.
Is the skincare for men, women, both?
Suitable for both men and women.
Hyaluronic acid is fantastic for anti-aging.
So let's talk about your style.
I stopped trying to dress cool.
I don't want my clothes to wear me.
So how did that build your confidence?
Thing that I was kind of born with.
I hear there's rumors of John Tucker Messiah too.
There's a script that was developed.
Hi, if you don't know me, my name is Celeste Moore.
I'm a certified image consultant and I help entrepreneurs, speakers, and influencers really
discover and master their own unique style so that they can command presence in any room
in any stage that they walk onto.
Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Jesse Metcalf.
Yes, the one and only actor, entrepreneur, and musician.
from heartthrob actor to skincare founder jesse metcalf is showing us what it really means to
redefine your image from the inside out it all started with his mom a stylish hairdresser who
taught him how to look and how it affects how you feel jesse's passion for clean living style and
self-care started early thanks to his mom who worked as a hairdresser now and he's channeling
all that is into his brand new skincare line neutral and living a healthy lifestyle that's
all about authenticity wellness and great taste thank you jesse for joining us today i'm really
happy to be with you slow it's nice nice to see you nice to see you too um i wanted to say a quick
shout out to timothy hancock deluxe version magazine guys look at jesse in this beautiful
front cover that was out just like two months ago so i just wanted to give a shout out to our friend
who connected with a great guy yeah and great at connecting people so good um yes so he speaks very
highly of you oh thank you yeah same um so let's start with your mom if you don't mind um she's a
hairdresser and really cared about style and she was the one who educated you and showed you how
important that was to show up looking your best self yeah um well you know my mom raised me
herself for a certain period of my adolescence you know and i had a pretty a pretty challenging
adolescence you know i had i had acne as a teenager um you know i i was bullied as a child
you know some of those some of those traumas in my like early formative years really shaped me
you know for for better or for worse and a lot of times for worse you know why i had a bit of
a chip on my shoulder, you know, coming into Hollywood. I had a lot to prove. But with that
said, there was definitely an emphasis on skincare and wellness in my household growing up. I did
have acne, as you mentioned. My mom would take me to an esthetician. I'd get biweekly facials. And,
And, you know, I used a lot of different products.
I became familiar with, you know, acids, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid at a pretty young age.
You know, I was using, you know, very expensive sort of high-end products at like 12 or 13 years old.
I mean, for anyone who suffers from, you know, acne, it can really erode your confidence.
And it did a number on me, you know, as a teenager.
Um, but I, I sort of carried that education, uh, that I got during that turbulent time
into adulthood.
And I always maintained, um, a pretty stringent skincare regimen.
Uh, and that's sort of what led to me starting my own brand.
Um, over the years, a lot of people would compliment my skin, uh, which is flattering,
You know, and they were also often in disbelief when I would tell them my age.
You know, I'm 46.
And, you know, people tell me that I look like I'm in my 30s, which is an amazing compliment.
I don't know if I believe them necessarily, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I've always had an emphasis on, you know, anti-aging products.
so like i said i've never had any any botox or any plastic surgery of any kind i've never really
done any invasive procedures like that certainly don't look down upon anyone who has and maybe it
is time for a little botox maybe around you know my great my eyes my my crow's feet area but i i
have had uh a lot of success you know with a lot with a lot of these topicals you know specifically
glycolic acid hyaluronic acid and that's sort of the genesis of me starting this
product line I wanted to do a super clean simple but effective product line
neutral skin is the name of the product line it's it's it's only four products
right now but they're really all you need they're incredibly powerful you
know lab grade formulas that are really anti-aging and can combat fine lines and
you know helps promote collagen production and really really plumps and
firms the skin and the effects are pretty immediate I mean I really believe
in these products and I think that you can see a difference in in the texture
of your skin immediately after after using these two incredible serums that
we have in this uh this daily replenishing moisturizer i'm excited to try thank you yes
we all need to look younger feel younger and you know why not our skin um yeah i heard that took
about two years for you to to like really be able to launch us is there um it's taken two years to
formulate the products okay um build an incredible website um you know on on the latest
design technology it's built on javascript you know we wanted to retain all of that back-end
information and not have any issues that one might have if they build a business on the shopify
platform not to say anything derogatory about shopify but i mean they can you know if you have
too many chargebacks for instance they can they can shut your business down you know so i think
to do things the right way you really uh have to have total control you know i'm a bit of a
control freak so so i really took the time to uh to develop this product and and build out this
business the right way well congratulations thank you you know it is your name on the product and
it is my name after all so i understand you wanting to really make sure that it shines the
way that you want it to and be presented now is the skin care for men women both this is a unisex
product a non-gender non non-gender exactly i love that it's for both men and women um i mean
there's not really much of a difference you know between men and women as far as skin care is
concerned i know that from a marketing perspective people like to uh make that distinction but i
think uh that it speaks to the simplicity of the product line i mean that you know really these
four products are all you need and uh it's suitable for all skin types oh good and it's
suitable for both men and women okay so whether you have acne whether you have sensitive skin
whether you have anti-age like absolutely okay absolutely this this product line is uh great for
people with sensitive skin oh no well hyaluronic acid is fantastic for anti-aging so even that
alone will really help like you said plump the skin absolutely yeah we are in also in the anti
aging under eye serum we have something called matrixyl 3000 which is a peptide complex okay
which promotes collagen production i am buying this i like to try all skin care especially in
my industry right i'm always helping my clients look good feel good and your skin is like your
number one biggest organ and you only get it like i grew up in uh south florida i've got wrinkles
like this is this was you look amazing this was baby oil and no sunscreen okay don't ever do that
but this was you know i'm two years older than you so this was like sun in and baby oil um it's
amazing how much we've learned over the last few decades right and how much um you know the
emphasis on skincare has really has really come to the forefront and sort of you know changed i
mean the marketplace is is just grown exponentially you know over the last couple of decades right so
in your line is there a like spf or is there something no we don't we don't have a sunscreen
okay um as of yet but i i mean this is definitely a brand that's going to grow and we're going to
add products nice um but i mean there's a million sunscreens out there on the market and i i don't
I don't necessarily believe that there's a lot of room to improve sunscreen.
You should use a strong sunscreen.
That's for sure.
I mean, there's definitely, you know, for me personally,
and I think this maybe is something that's different for men,
I don't like when a sunscreen sticks to my beard.
Oh, yeah.
Get that white look.
Yeah, I have a tendency, like, I put the sunscreen on,
and then, like, my beard's white,
and then I have to, like, go over my beard line with, like, a towel, you know,
and wipe the sunscreen off.
So I like a sunscreen that, that absorbs really well, you know, that's, that's one of the
main things.
But I think if you're not, if you're not using an SPF of, you know, 40 or 50, you're not
really protecting your skin.
Okay.
Well, this is something that, um, you get to create.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I definitely think we will create a sunscreen at some point.
I'm putting you on the spot.
You gotta create this.
Yeah.
There's a lot of options.
There's a lot of great options out there and there's a lot of great product lines.
Yeah. So how does it feel to be an entrepreneur? Is this your first really, um, is this your first
product ever? Yeah, it is. It's, it's my first product that I developed from, you know, conception,
you know, from start to finish. So, um, I'll be honest with you. I mean, we launched this morning
and you know, I, I cried, you know, it's been a, it's been a really long process. Um, um, I'm proud
of what I've accomplished it's a big accomplishment thank you yeah so I'm super and I think also the
outpouring of support um you know not not just from my fans you know but from my friends and
my family I mean I I just like people are really behind me yeah you know and and I feel
it feels good it feels authentic you know i i've just i've i've always maintained
a a really um you know stringent skincare regimen people have always asked me about my skin and
about my skincare and it's it feels right you know it just feels like sort of a natural progression
And I remember when I announced this, you know, at actually a Clarins event, you know,
Clarins, the skincare brand has been incredibly supportive to me.
And when I went to my first skincare event for Clarins, I was asked on the red carpet
about skincare and I told them that I had some interest in starting my own line.
And a lot of outlets ran that, you know, like I think People Magazine ran it, that Jesse
He may start his own skincare line and us weekly.
And I did it.
Yeah.
Good for you.
Now, I know what it takes to create something from start to finish.
And that it takes like passion and purpose.
And that sounds like what you've put into it.
Yeah, it definitely takes a lot of passion.
It definitely takes a lot of focus.
It also takes a lot of patience.
and i i think anything worth doing yeah or having in this life yeah takes incredible patience
patience is not my strong suit patience is not one of my best characteristics that's that's
something that i have to really work on yeah are you an instant guy are you like uh is it
kind it's kind of the world we live in i get i get i get frustrated okay i get i get frustrated
relatively quickly and i have to remind myself um to be patient and that and that the world
doesn't revolve around me and that people are not on my schedule people have other things going on
in their lives you know it's about it's about being understanding uh it's about acceptance
um yeah and it's you know patience is definitely a muscle that i need to to work to exercise yeah
yeah oh we're all working on ourselves and if you're not you should be because we're i think
continue to learn in life right i love that you incorporate like just on a side note there you
talk about how you know mind body and spirit right and it's something that you're very vocal about on
instagram or your other platforms um what has really helped you kind of center yourself maybe
before a big event or maybe before something that's making you a little bit you know nervous
if you will prayer and meditation okay is my go-to yeah it's my go-to yeah i mean i have
been through the program you know of yeah alcoholics anonymous yeah um different periods
of my life. I've struggled with alcohol a bit. And a lot of the things that I learned through
that program, I've carried with me. Prayer and meditation being one of them, writing gratitude
lists being another. Yeah, having been in the entertainment industry for 25 years,
having had a lot of things come easily to me when i'm faced with challenges i don't necessarily
face those challenges gracefully all the time and i really have to give my my my frustration
um over to a higher power you know i have to remind myself that i'm not running the show
you know it's about faith um you know i spoke spoke about patience the other side to that coin
i feel like is is is faith um trust trusting uh that there's a divine design to your life
that there's something greater looking after you yeah and that's pretty essential for someone like
me who has a pretty strong will you know i i i can really um get lost in myself my my passions
my desires, my wants. So yeah, so I think, you know, giving it over to God through prayer,
letting go of all of the things in our day-to-day lives, in the outside world that
weigh us down, that control us. I do that through meditation. You know, constantly being on your
phone constantly being on social media constantly being plugged into all of the
drama that's going outside that's going on outside there I go going on in the
outside world all around us all the time it's it's it's toxic I mean it really is
you know in small doses it's manageable but in larger doses it's overwhelming
and it's really important to disconnect from that and reconnect to your spiritual center yeah
yeah no I love that and actually just in the last month I hear a few billionaires speak
multi-millionaires and the one thing every one of them has in common is their spirituality
it's whether or not it's to God it's to the universe but when you take that minute to
meditate well hopefully more than one minute but to meditate it's when you get the downloads because
the downloads the downloads right because before that we're like thinking of all the things the
blocks the you know what's going on in our head like you said the everyday life so it's taking
that time to receive and just to be and i think that's um something i've started recently and
it's just taken me i've tried many times like i'm not gonna lie it's one of the hardest things
um i think for me to shut off and to shut down but it's it's been really great yeah yeah yeah
so i could understand yeah essential especially if you're a person
who functions on a high level has a lot of things going on wants to achieve a lot it's even more
important for you to be able to decompress and center yourself on a daily basis yeah you're just
more effective afterwards oh yeah you have more space yeah for all the things so let's talk about
your style because you look amazing today I think in just my opinion it looks like you have very like
classic kind of you know maybe that Jon Hamm that's all I can think of I love Jon Hamm
and you know you just have a very like cool elegant chic you know style but very classic
thank you have you like is this always been your style you know i've been leaning into um
a more mature look okay as of late definitely in my 40s but more so in the second half of my 40s
over the last couple of years um i've stopped wearing anything trendy i've stopped trying to
dress cool yeah uh i just feel like i feel like preppier more classic clothing looks better on me
it just suits my look um i i feel like it's a more authentic aesthetic for me because i mean i
i i don't want my clothes to wear me i want to i want to wear my clothes thank you you know and
and and it's like it's it's really an all-encompassing thing being authentic um and i i
i think that people receive you better when they feel a certain level of authenticity from you
and i just kind of want my clothing to be an extension of who i am and also how how i want
to be perceived i mean not to say that i'm uber focused on how i'm being perceived all the time
I'd like to think that I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm living in the moment.
But I think it's important to have a certain level of awareness about how you're being
perceived if you want to be effective.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The first thing that people notice is color.
It happens before anything else.
So each color sends a message.
So you can strategically send messages to your audience, what you want them to feel
about you.
so it's really powerful i love that yeah yeah so i love it's like it's like if you're on trial
for murder which we might want to wear white right you see you see everybody look like a
little girl or like a young innocent boy um yes but i love that you really dial in and talk about
authenticity because it's a really really what i focus on and i think it's so great that you're
just like i like to dress this way i like to this feels like me and i want the i want everybody to
know no i mean i i would love to work with you celeste honestly i would love to uh to do some
consultations you know let's let's see what we can achieve together and you know i mean you you
mentioning that also reminds me of when we were talking in our pre-interview a bit about about
working with other stylists yeah in the past um and sometimes i found when i worked with personal
stylists that they put me in stuff that I just didn't feel comfortable in you know and there's
definitely a time and a place if you're if you're showing up for a specific designer you're sitting
front row at a show and they want you to wear something you wear it yeah you know I mean it's
only for that moment it's not like you got to wear it all day it's not like you got to wear it all
you know ever again but I just felt like a lot of times I would really be paying top dollar to some
of these top stylists in the industry and I just felt like they didn't really get me you know they
didn't get me they didn't get my aesthetic you know when I I would head out not feeling just
100 confident you know and uncomfortable with with what I was wearing so I really started
dressing myself you know there was a period actually where I I used to shop at Barney's
new york a lot yeah in beverly hills and uh one day i just randomly walked into the the pr
department and they ended up giving me i don't know if the girl the young girls in there like
thought i was cute i don't know if they liked me or whatever but they ended up giving me a pull
account like like i like i was like like i was an actual stylist and i had it for like three
years until until Barney's New York called me and was like are you are you are you a stylist and I
was like no I'm an actor and they were like well we have no idea how you got this account but we're
gonna have to close it you know I mean like literally I was I was like three years to pull
like thirty thousand dollars worth of clothes and then I could keep a portion of it and pay for that
portion without any kind of like other restocking fee I mean it was it was amazing so I was styling
myself you know uh through Barney's New York for like three years yeah it's pretty incredible
well who knew like later you would be giving them some cred right yeah totally I have no problem
sharing that story that's awesome um I love that you just decided like no you know what I know who
I am and I want to just dress myself there's nothing wrong with that so how did that build
your confidence I think that I've always had a good sense of style something probably that also
came from my mom but i also think it was something that i was kind of born with i think it was it was
pretty innate like in my chromosomes yeah i always uh really cared about what i wore yeah i mean even
um when i was like really young i mean my mom would recount stories to me of like me picking
things out in the department store and saying definitively that i liked this or i didn't like
that um and then you know as an adolescent and into my teenage years we would take the train
either into new york city or um or into boston and go to harvard square to do our school shopping
uh i i i my my clothes the way i presented myself my personal style they were they were
all very important to me growing up yeah i can relate i started really young too so
i think you're just i think there is something there's the uh i give a shit gene so jesse how
did you get um into the industry of entertainment okay uh my first foray i guess into the world of
entertainment would be um as a model okay um i i went to an open casting call um
to get a modeling agency in in Hartford Connecticut when I was in high school okay
actually actually taking it further back I did do some modeling jobs as a child um I was a child
model for a period and was on some toy boxes and was in highlights magazine this this children's
an educational magazine. And then I sort of kind of hit my awkward years. And then in the middle
of high school, I went to an open call to attempt to get a modeling agent. And I was selected by
three different agencies and was then signed by a modeling agency called Zoli, which is a now
defunct modeling agency that was in Manhattan. And I used to take the train into the city and
do shoots for magazines like Seventeen Magazine, YM Magazine. I did some commercials. I went to
Milan for Men's Fashion Week one winter, which was an insane experience for a small-town Connecticut
boy like me. But having gone back and forth to New York City during high school, I decided
that's where I wanted to be you know it was a really kind of intoxicating place that just sort
of like got under my skin and I loved the energy there I loved the creativity so the only college
that I applied to was New York University and I applied to the Tisch School of the Arts you know
which encapsulates all of the acting and and and film and television production and writing
programs at New York University. I didn't get in. I got into this new program called the Gallatin
School. And after doing a semester in Gallatin and getting some good grades, I was able to transfer
into Tisch. I had an incredible experience there. And that's where I took my first couple of acting
classes, which were part of the film and television major. I wasn't even studying acting.
I was studying writing and directing, you know, film and television production, film history.
It was a lot of fun. I had some really inspiring professors, one of which was an acting professor
named Seth Glassman. And I took my first acting class with him. And we did an exercise where we
walked around an empty chair and pretended that somebody was in that chair. But we didn't tell
the other members of the class who was in that chair. And then you just kind of repeated the
same line over and over again in hopes of pulling up some emotion, you know, eliciting some organic
response. And I had sort of a breakthrough during that exercise, yelled, got angry. So
some emotion came out, teared up a bit. And I was like, oh, I like this. I like the way this
this feels um then I also uh got some nice praise from my professor and I was like you know maybe
maybe I could do this you know so I had been doing some some modeling maybe I could uh do
some commercials maybe I could make some extra money you know I I definitely used my modeling
career to subsidize me during my college years yeah um nyu is not cheap so you know
lodging books um everything you might need you know as a college student where they were really
expensive you know and i came from definitely humble beginnings you know a middle-class family
at best sometimes you know earlier in my childhood lower middle class so um i was blessed to have the
opportunity to to model and make some extra money and i thought well maybe i could make even more
extra money and um i went to just one commercial audition and then i went to an open casting call
for um a soap opera that was casting uh country-wide uh for it was called passions
it was it was this zany supernatural sort of cult classic soap opera that I
ended up doing five years on and was really where I learned to act you know I
I was I was a terrible actor when I when I first started acting I I really did
learn on the job they just they just liked my look they they they they
thought i fit into this half irish half latin american family called the lopez fitzgeralds
yeah apparently actually and my mother reminded me of this i had auditioned for the role this
role of of luis which is played by a dear friend of mine galen gearing um but there was no role
for me i was too young for this for this role of luis who was who was uh a cop in this in
this in this small town this small fictional town of harmony in in new england so they they
wrote another role for me they wrote in a role for the younger brother miguel lopez fitzgerald
because they they liked me you know they they saw something in me so i mean that's i didn't even
remember that i recently had a conversation with my mother and she reminded me of that fact and i
just thought that was incredible you know that i was kind of destined to do this you know to
have a career um as an actor so after doing five years on that show i felt as though i could do
more i wanted to get on the prime time um a lot of my friends and family and and co-workers on
passions were like are you crazy like you're you're one of the stars of this soap uh the
soap's getting a lot of attention you make a great living and i was like no i really want to go for
it and i did my first full pilot season and i didn't get anything you know and i was like whoa
like what have i done like i've walked away from this well-paying job and i haven't booked anything
yet and then right at the end of pilot season two things happened for me i got the opportunity to
test for two different television shows one of which was a show called veronica mars and another
one was called desperate housewives there was something about the deal on desperate housewives
that seemed a little bit more enticing i think my my representation felt that that might be a better
fit for me that i had a better chance of actually booking that so i went for desperate housewives
and back then it was not like one audition on tape and then you get the role like you had to audition
and then if they called you back then typically you had a call back you had to audition again
And then if they wanted you to test, test for the role, it's called.
So they kind of like get all the details of your deal in place,
like what you're going to get paid, et cetera, et cetera.
And they sort of have you sign off on it before even giving you the role.
So when you go in for a test, you have to test for the studio
and you have to test for the network.
So you would have to audition in front of like 15, 20 people twice.
Wow.
So it's a pretty, it was, and sometimes still is,
but they don't really do this as much.
relatively you know nerve-wracking process but it went well I ended up
booking that role on Desperate Housewives John Roland the teenage
gardener who has this sexy illicit affair with this married woman Gabrielle
Solis played by Eva Longoria and the rest is history you know that that that
role and being a part of that iconic television show really made me a
household name well that's how i know you that was a lot no i appreciate the backstory because
it's you know people want to know these things like you know you don't just show up to set one
day and you just are this big actor you worked your ass off it's been a journey yeah yeah um i
love that and then okay so another little like sidestep here one of my good friends who is much
younger than me said celeste you've got to watch john talker must die and i was like what i wasn't
i missed that like little window from desperate housewives i guess i don't know what the how many
years in between like was john talker must john talker must die was actually or after i i i shot
that right after the first season of desperate housewives okay okay i was actually fired after
first season of desperate housewives what yeah so you know the storyline between evil angoria and i
was a pretty popular storyline yes but it was a pretty difficult thing to maintain um into further
seasons okay um you know that the show wasn't you know just about this one affair and i i don't
think they wanted uh evil angoria's character to be you know boxed in to having to continue this
affair with this teenager and they did bring me back uh in subsequent seasons and my character
had grown up a bit and had his own business and was still trying to get back together with gabrielle
and this the scenes were fun and interesting but after the first season of the show i was no longer
our series regular i was just a reoccurring character oh my god yeah uh she told me to
watch it so i watched this right before uh this interview and maybe i'm the only one in america
that's never seen the movie but now i have so uh you know this was like one of those and then
funny enough i was at fashion week um when you were just there okay at a different show
and i see this whole thing like uh john tucker is alive or something or something this on your
Instagram. I was like, Oh my God, that was so great. Yeah. In style posted that. Yes. That
little video. Um, yeah, it got a lot of, it got a lot of traction. So I was there supporting my
good friend, Jonathan Simcoe. Nice. Yeah. I was, um, I just love going. I'm always there just
experiencing. It's a great time. It's a, yeah, it's a great time. I mean, fashion shows are,
uh, they're fun. Yeah. So is this, cause I don't know if I'm supposed to say this so we can cut
this but i hear there's rumors of john tucker must die too no we don't have to we don't have
to cut that okay that's not top secret okay it's definitely out there it's definitely out there i
mean there's there's there's a script there's a script that was developed um by one of my
castmates ariel kevel okay uh i've read the script it's it's pretty good it's over at 20th century
Fox. We announced that this project was in development last year. It got picked up by a
lot of media outlets. It definitely seems like we're in a sort of Y2K moment right now where
there's an interest in reviving some of these popular early to mid-2000 television shows and
films yeah we're certainly one of those i mean john tucker must die was a pretty popular movie
and there seems to be an appetite out there to see a sequel with that said i don't know i don't
know if it's going to happen um i've been consistently asked about about this about
about there being a sequel to john tucker must die so and uh i i would love to be a part of it
I think it would be, it would be fun. Um, but I'm definitely not in control of it.
So sometimes things move a little more slowly than you would like them to,
you know, in our business. But I, I, I think there's a good chance that it could happen.
Nice. Yeah. So why don't you tell, um, is there something that I miss? Is there something that's
coming up for you that you want to share with the audience? Well, I, I have a few independent
movies coming out later this year um i have a movie premiering this coming saturday actually
um yeah at the beverly hills film festival it's called comic shop okay um really small indie yeah
but uh people seem to like it it's a very like different character for me um it's a
comic book store owner in a strip mall in las vegas who's a bit of an alcoholic
who's in the midst of a midlife crisis um who's sort of
lost his inspiration he had aspirations of being a famous comic book illustrator
didn't really pan out and he ended up owning a comic book shop okay uh so i had a lot of fun
with with this movie actually you know i'm in basically every scene of the movie and i i feel
like i could really relate to the character um it's kind of a lot of things that we've already
talked about you know uh when when when life challenges you or things don't go the way you
anticipated that that they would go um you can lose you can lose your your your your faith you
know you can lose your your inspiration especially as an artist i've definitely had periods in my
career where i've been there you know so it was kind of easy for me to to tap into this this
character but it's a really heartfelt um fun story very relationship driven movie with some really
great comedic moments in it it's uh it's pretty entertaining yeah i'm pretty proud of it great
i'm excited too then i then i got a horror movie coming out called uh possession at gladstone
Manor later this year and another action comedy called Boris is Dead oh yeah I just guest starred
on Law and Order uh which was so much fun for me I had an incredible incredible experience
I've always wanted to be a part of that world um I did do a procedural show you know they call these
um you know law enforcement shows or some of these medical dramas procedurals okay and i i
did a procedural drama about u.s marshals um back in the the mid 2010s it only lasted one season
but i always uh i i've always loved the idea of like playing someone in law enforcement
or playing a detective and this role that they gave me was just perfect for me i played a sergeant
named danny deluca obviously an italian-american i'm an italian-american um it was a very action
driven episode about the assassination of an insurance company ceo so it's it's gotten a lot
of attention uh it also had a an unresolved sort of open-ended uh ending where they did not get the
verdict uh on the shooter uh caused some of the fans of the show a bit of frustration but i think
you know that was sort of the point you know that we wanted to sort of spark debate and conversation
over a bit of a cultural uh issue you know that we're seeing right now uh but it was a great
episode to be a part of i i had a blast and you know i i i'd love to be a regular fixture
obviously i mean that show just has such a you know storied uh history to it a lot of incredible
actors have guest starred and gone on to huge success so that's exciting thank you i'm happy
