🎙️ About This Episode
As I am on my summer holidays we are throwing it back to one of my favourite episodes!
Giovanni Ribisi is an Emmy-nominated actor and one of the most respected and versatile character actors of his generation. Starting his career as a child, he appeared in early television roles including The Twilight Zone and The X-Files, before breaking through with standout performances in films such as Boiler Room, Gone in 60 Seconds and Saving Private Ryan.
He's also instantly recognisable as Phoebe's eccentric brother Frank Jr. in Friends, the enigmatic conman at the heart of Sneaky Pete, and for his brilliantly bizarre dance in Ted. But his career goes far beyond those iconic roles.
In this episode, we talk about working with James Cameron on the Avatar films, what keeps Giovanni so passionate about filmmaking after decades in the industry, and his decision to step behind the camera for his latest film, the breathtaking Strange Darling. (Re-Release)

What's Your Story - Actor Steve Guttenberg? #131 LIFE IN FILM Podcast
Back in the 1980s, our guest tied with Gene Hackman as the decade’s most prolific actor. With a run of box office hits including Police Academy, Cocoon, Short Circuit and 1987’s biggest hit, Three Men and a Baby, he became one of Hollywood’s defining stars and later earned his place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
We talk about the wild excess of 1980s Hollywood, making Three Men and a Baby without a finished script, why staying “cool” matters in show business, and why, despite decades of success, he still feels like he hasn’t fully cracked it yet.
Credits Include Three Men and a Baby / Police Academy -1,2,3,4 / Cocoon- 1,2 / Short Circuit / Diner / The Boy From Brazil / Three Men and a Baby / The Goldbergs / Bigger / Ballers / Sharknado 4 / Lavalantula / Casper: A Spirited Beginning / Zeus and Roxanne / It Takes Two / Home for the Holidays / The Big Green / High Spirits / Surrender / The Bedroom Window / The Day After ...etc
