If your hand went up, you may be this week’s guest, Lee Garlington!\nLee joins Weezy and Lisa to discuss the unique, \"hired gun\" craft of popping into iconic shows with scene stealing roles and becoming what she calls \"a director's actor.\" \nYou had yet to learn her name when you saw her as Joey’s father’s mistress in Friends, as Bobby Cannavale’s mother in Will & Grace, as Betty White’s daughter on The Golden Girls and as Darlene’s friend on Roseanne. You will know it now!\nLee takes us behind the scenes on Psycho II and III, The West Wing, Sneakers, Six Feet Under and Seinfeld and shares harrowing axe-related stories from A Killing in a Small Town. She offers candid advice for aspiring actors, tells us about her work with the SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Conservatory and discusses the realities of longevity in Hollywood, and her work with the Ruskin Group Theatre.\nPlus, an entertaining round of IMDb Roulette uncovers the horrors of sitting for a death mask fitting, why she ever so gently adjusted the placement of Robert Redford and how her performance went next level when Amy Madigan called her a nazi! This is a fascinating conversation about resilience, professionalism, and a lifelong love of the craft.\nAnd in current media, Weezy and Lisa talk about Is This Thing On and additional films that explore the standup comedy experience.\nPath Points of Interest:\nLee Garlington\nLee Garlington on Wikipedia\nLee Garlington on IMDB\nLee Garlington on Instagram\nSAG-AFTRA L.A.
