During his youth in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jesse Tyler Ferguson quickly discovered his affinity for the performing arts. Upon joining a local theater group, he found the stage to be a place where he could express himself fully. And when an opportunity arose to travel to New York City as a teenager, Ferguson set his sights firmly on Broadway. His career took off—early Broadway roles included in On the Town and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee—meaning that Ferguson had little reason to give much thought to television. And yet, the script for a new sitcom, called Modern Family, resonated deeply with him—and, as it turned out, with millions of fans. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the actor joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss his early years on the theater circuit, the moment he recognized his on-screen chemistry with Eric Stonestreet, and the philosophy behind his own restaurant-oriented podcast, Dinner’s On Me.

In the early 2010s, after spending a good deal of her career performing in stage productions such as Spamalot and A Little Night Music, Hannah Waddingham wanted to try something different: acting on screen. Although she’d previously had small film and television roles here and there, her background was in opera and theater. But what seemed like a considerable risk to her at the time paid off in a big way—in the intervening years she has appeared in Game of Thrones, Sex Education, and Ted Lasso (for which she won an Emmy). On this week’s episode of Table for Two, Waddingham joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss why she enjoys playing characters with a gruff exterior, her perspective on turning 50, and the moment she learned she landed a part in the forthcoming Mission: Impossible film.

When Lee Daniels was eight years old, he came across a copy Edward Albee's Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf that featured a photograph of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on its cover. Flipping through the pages, Daniels realized that his purpose in life was to direct characters like those in the Albee's play. After years managing actors, Daniels had his directorial breakout in 2001 with Monster’s Ball, for which Halle Berry became the first Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. As a producer, director, and screenwriter, Daniels has since turned out celebrated movies and television shows such as from Precious and Empire, and, most recently, the haunting thriller The Deliverance. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, Daniels joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss how his experience as a gay man influences his work, how his adopted children saved his life, and the motivation behind a new cop procedural he’s currently writing.

In the mid-1970s, while touring a museum in his hometown of Paris, Christian Louboutin came across a sign that would alter the course of his entire life. Indicating that stiletto heels were banned on the premises, it depicted a pair of the shoes with a red “no” symbol over them. For Louboutin, the image sparked a fascination with shoe design that led to him sketching original prototypes as a young teenager, working in major fashion houses by 20, and opening his own salon in 1991. It wasn’t long after starting his shop that his classic red-soled stilettos were born—and since then, Louboutin’s distinctive footwear has been ever-present on runways, in movies and television shows, and on the shelves of high-end shops around the world. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the legendary designer joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses his childhood in France, the moment he realized the extent of his success, and the current state of men’s fashion.

As a child growing up in Barbados, Minnie Driver developed an affinity for the water—and her love for the beach and its restorative properties has only grown since. For Driver, recharging is necessary: since her breakthrough role in the 1997 classic Good Will Hunting, she’s starred in a slew of feature films (two of which are set to premiere at this year’s Toronto Film Festival) and television shows—the most recent being as Queen Elizabeth I in The Serpent Queen—and she hosts her own podcast, Minnie Questions. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the actress sits down for lunch with host Bruce Bozzi to discuss why she gravitated towards the performing arts, what she thinks people overlook about Margot Robbie’s talent, and the ideology behind her podcast.

Though Minnie Driver recognizes that 1987’s "Withnail and I" has its flaws, the film inspired her to seek out acting parts that similarly blended comedy and tragedy—her role as Skyler in "Good Will Hunting" being a prime example. On this week’s episode of "Table for Two," Driver joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss her thoughts on former co-star Robin Williams, the differences between Hollywood and London, and why the ocean is her happy place

Whether he’s directing a movie, cutting in the editing room, or grabbing a bite to eat, Paul Feig wears a suit. In his view, dressing well both helps him focus and create strong first impressions. But Feig's elegance is also a reflection of his highly detail-oriented nature. Behind the camera, Feig’s acute perception and keen eye for comedy—his favorite genre—has led to hits like Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor (which has a sequel on the way), and the opportunity to direct television shows like The Office, Mad Men, and Freaks and Geeks, which he created. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the filmmaker joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses his early years giving tours at Universal Studios Hollywood, what he loves about horror films, and why directing 2016's Ghostbusters convinced him to never work on a remake again.

In 1999, after roasting Jerry Stiller to perfection at the Friars Club, Susie Essman got a phone call. It was an old friend of hers from the stand-up comedy circuit: Larry David. David wanted her on his new television series, Curb Your Enthusiasm. With no guarantee that she’d be a recurring cast member and little in the way of financial compensation, Essman joined the show as Susie Greene. Over the course of 24 years and 12 seasons, she became one of Curb's most popular characters. Whether foiling a scheme devised by Jeff Garlin (who plays Essman’s husband), trading jabs with Richard Lewis, or hurling insults at David, Essman’s raucous wit reliably steals the show. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the actress and comedian joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses her early years waitressing in New York City, the key to David’s genius, and how her perspective on life has shifted with age.

David Duchovny believes he’s a writer at heart. And though the Golden Globe-winner has achieved a level of acting success that would seem to eclipse his proficiency in any other art form, he has a point. After developing a love of books in high school, Duchovny was off to Princeton, and then to Yale to pick up an M.A. in English Literature. All this before ever trying his hand at acting, and starring as the enthusiastic Fox Mulder in X-Files. Duchovny has also written five books, including one that grew into the new film Reverse the Curse, in which he also stars. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, he sits down with host Bruce Bozzi to discuss his favorite authors, the three celebrities he had to introduce himself to, and the inspiration behind his podcast, Fail Better.

For someone who loves reading enough to start a book club, picking a favorite novel can be a near-impossible task. But on this week’s bonus episode of Table for Two, Emma Roberts joins host Bruce Bozzi and does just that, and also discusses the actor she most admires and the singer she can’t get enough of.

It’s hard to forge your own path in Hollywood. It’s even more difficult to do so when your aunt is Julia Roberts, you rose to fame as a Nickelodeon star, and executives seem to think of you only in terms of one role: “the girl next door.” Emma Roberts faced all these challenges. But because of a single show (American Horror Story), and a single producer (Ryan Murphy) who saw untapped potential in her, Roberts was able to transition from child stardom into a wide-ranging career that has spanned over two decades. That she balances rolling out new projects—her latest, Space Cadet, comes out July 4th—with her book club, Belletrist, and raising a son makes it all the more impressive. On this episode of Table for Two, the actress joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses how Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop inspired her, the importance of financial independence, and her lifelong love of reading.
