Mary grew up in the small beach community of Long Beach Island, NJ, but her family hails from Louisiana. She graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in acting, and the Stella Adler Award for Outstanding Achievement in Acting. Recently Mary was also awarded an honorary Masters Degree in Acting from the American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) in San Francisco.
Mary made her Broadway debut in "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me" in 2006, for which she won the prestigious Theatre World Award. Mary also stared as rookie cop "Deputy Kimball" in Reno 911 on Comedy Central, and in the Fox feature film "Reno 911: Miami."
She has performed in several shows on Comedy Central-- appearing regularly on the network in "Crossballs," Contest Searchlight w/Dennis Leary and "The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart."

Other theatre roles include "Portia" in the Moonwork production of "Julius Caesar" in New York City, and "Victoria Fitch" in the musical "Palm Beach."

"Baywatch"
Actor: Nicole Eggert
Nicole joins me to talk about her life, career, battling cancer, the paparazzi being relentless after chemotherapy and so much more.
Nicole Eggert launched her full-fledged acting career soon after appearing in some TV commercials. She began her acting career in 1979, where she portrayed the character of âMary Beth Dentonâ in a television film titled âWhen Hell was in Session.â After appearing in a made-for-TV movie titled âWhen She Was BadâŠâ in the same year, she made her feature film debut in 1980. She was cast opposite Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen, for playing the role of âDebby Blake,â the young daughter of Bergenâs character in her debut movie âRich and Famous.â In the same year, she lent her voice for Dennis's sworn adversary, the snotty Margaret Wade in âDennis the Menace in Mayday for Mother.â It was the first animated adaptation in the Dennis the Menace trilogy.
During the early and mid-1980s, Nicole appeared in a number of television shows and some major films including her twin television shows in 1981 viz., âToday's F.B.Iâ and âFantasy Island,â âThe Clan of the Cave Bearâ and âI Dream of Jeannie... Fifteen Years Laterâ. In 1982, she landed a prime role in a recurring capacity as William Shatner's daughter on the police drama âT.J.Hooker.â She successfully bagged another recurring role in the popular situational comedy series âWho's the Boss?â She played the role of Marci Ferguson, a friend of the character Samantha Micelli, which was portrayed by Alyssa Milano. She appeared in the show in the episodes released during 1985-1986.
In 1987, Nicole Eggert hogged the limelight and rose to prominence attracting her first ever true national stardom, when she starred on the sitcom âCharles in Chargeâ as Jamie Powell. On June 25, 1989, she along with Richard William Wheaton III hosted the second annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. She was seen in the television series âThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!â in a guest appearance in the same year.
She appeared in the TV movie adaptation of Danielle Steel's Secrets portraying the character of Alexa Adams in 1992. Nicole Eggert completely metamorphosed her image from a captivating child artist to a bombshell sex symbol, when she appeared as âSummer Quinn,â one of the many lifeguards on season 3 and 4, in the renowned syndicated series, a world famous beach drama âBaywatch.â She had to get a breast implant, sign a contract agreeing not to gain any weight and had to pass a swim test to grab the role. Though she was supposed to return on the spin-offs of the beach action drama, she only returned for the reunion movie âBaywatch: Hawaiian Weddingâ (2003).
Nicole Eggert along with celebrity actress like Yasmine Bleeth, Pamela Anderson, and Carmen Electra formed the group of âBaywatch Girlsâ and became the celebrity crush of the world after their appearance in the highly popular syndicated series.
Welcome, Nicole Eggert.

"FROM" Actor: Ricky He
Ricky He joins me again to talk about the captivating Season 3 of FROM. I find his character Kenny Liu to be the most captivating and resilient character on the show.
Ricky and I discuss that Kenny has dealt with most adversity on the show (In the most shocking ways), Boyd memorizing cantonese is maybe the best moment in the show's three seasons and Ricky says that the creatures are NOT the worst thing on the show. WHAT?!
FROM might be the best show on TV.

"Quantum of Solace", "Narcos" and "Midnight Family"
Actor: JoaquĂn CosĂo
JoaquĂn CosĂo is one of the best actors on the planet. His work in Narcos alone is some of the best acting you will ever see on screen. It still gives me chills.
Joaquin CosĂo was born in Nayarit, Mexico. His training as an actor began in 1983 and has continued growing and developing ever since. In 1994, CosĂo wrote his first stage play, titled Tomochic: Or the day the world ended, which was awarded the National Literature Prize. Performing in over 50 plays and over 600 live performances, his stage career reached a new milestone in 1999 when he was hand selected to join the National Theater Company. This led CosĂo to make the decision to move to Mexico City permanently and focus on becoming a full-time actor. He has been working non-stop ever since as one of Mexico's most respected actors of stage and screen.
He made his film debut in 2001 in the film The Blue Room and he has since participated in over 30 feature films and several shorts. CosĂo played a multi-episode role in the HBO comedy Eastbound & Down. He played General Medrano, one of the main villains in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and acted alongside Benicio del Toro in Oliver Stone's gritty thriller, Savages. CosĂo appeared in Robert Duvall's A Night in Old Mexico, and in Disney's 2013 filmThe Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer.
He is absolutely unnerving and terrifying as Don Neto in Narcos. Role after Role he is truly a treasure on screen.
We talk about his newest role as Ramon in Apple TV+ "Midnight Family" dropping September 25th.
Welcome, JoaquĂn CosĂo

Renata Vaca is a very talented actress who was just terrific in Saw X.
Diego Calva is also a phenomenal actor stealing the show in "Babylon" along side Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Tobey Maguire.

Along with her father RamĂłn and her siblings Marcus and Julito, Marigaby serves a population of millions by tackling extreme medical emergencies to make a living.
Two wonderful actors who I enjoyed speaking with.
Great show.

"The Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot"
Actor: Nika King.
Kingâs talents as a comedian and actor are versatile and dynamic. She is best known for her comedic abilities but in her new breakout role playing Leslie, on the Emmy winning HBO series Euphoria opposite Zendaya and Storm Reid, King showcases a much more dramatic side of herself. In this role, King pulls from her early life watching family members battle addiction and triumphantly overcoming. It is from that resolve and resilience that King offers a dramatic perspective and newfound depth in this character.
Nika has recently starred and executive produced her first feature film, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot being released in theaters nationwide on July 4th. Inspired by the powerful true story, this film follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible--adopting 77 children--this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.Kingâs comedy has landed her roles on Kevin Hartâs Guide to Black, the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada and hosting Nika King & Friends, a monthly show at the Improv Lab in Hollywood CA. She has also act, wrote and produced on award winning webseries Funny Married Stuff, which is currently streaming on KweliTV. While King has a passion for acting and producing, her talents do not end there.
